Description

The Company:

We are working with a leading, national, building contractor whose Manchester Office has created a great reputation for delivering varied and interesting projects for clients based in the North West of England.

Of the 30+ people we have placed in roles with this company most are still with the business, many have progressed in to new roles and the vast majority of people we send for interview with this business want to work for them.

They have a very approachable and successful senior management team, secure the overwhelming majority of their projects through negotiation (they are good at what they do and tend to leave their clients pleased with their projects) and are also members of a number of key public sector, procurement frameworks. Although they are one of the Top 20 Construction Groups in the UK, they have the feel of a smaller family business where employees are valued and supported.

They are cash rich, make good margins on their projects, have an excellent supply chain who they pay promptly and treat with respect (we know this from personal experience!), staff turnover is low and their Glassdoor rating is among the best in the industry.

The Role:

They are now keen to add a Design Manager to their highly regarded regional design team as they have secured a number of new projects.

They are looking for somebody to work on some high-value schemes for public sector clients.

You will provide advice on design risk and opportunities for value engineering to the commercial, planning, delivery and client teams.

You will produce, agree and manage realistic design programs.

Attend design meetings with the client, their representatives, consultants and supply chain.

Once projects are on site you will ensure the delivery team are working to the required specifications.

You:

Ideally, you will have worked as a Design Manager previously on building projects of a significant size (£10's of Millions) within either health, education, justice or blue light sectors.

You will be based in or be able to commute to the North West of England daily.

IT literate.

Good construction knowledge.

Good verbal and written communication skills.

Rewards:

You will get the chance to work on significant, high-profile projects in the North West.

You will receive a good salary package with extensive benefits including a bonus that has been paid in 14 of the last 15 yrs.

The opportunity to work with an award-winning, forward-thinking organisation that have an excellent order book, varied and high-profile schemes who provide an exciting environment to work in
