Senior CDM Consultant

Are you the kind of CDM professional who wants more than just "another project"? Do you want to work at the heart of a consultancy where your voice carries weight, your ideas shape national projects, and your expertise genuinely changes how buildings are designed?

A leading multi-disciplinary consultancy with a major presence across the Midlands is expanding its design risk and health and safety function. They work on some of the most diverse, high-profile schemes in the region, from transformative public sector developments to cutting-edge commercial and regeneration projects. Their ambitions are bold, their team is growing, and they are now searching for a senior figure who wants to help drive the next chapter.

If you want to step into a position where you influence design strategy, lead client relationships, and guide project teams towards safer, smarter construction, this is the role for you.

• Take full ownership of Principal Designer duties across a varied portfolio of impactful projects.

• Champion safety in design from concept to completion, ensuring risk is identified, challenged, and meaningfully addressed.

• Guide architects, clients, and contractors with confidence, helping shape design decisions at the earliest stages.

• Deliver clear, compelling CDM documentation, design risk registers, and strategic safety advice.

• Facilitate H&S design reviews and steer collaborative workshops with multi-disciplinary teams.

• Build long-term relationships with clients who rely on your insight and leadership.

• Mentor junior team members and support the continuous improvement of the service offering.

• A strong background in construction, design, or health and safety, backed by relevant qualifications (IOSH, APS, NEBOSH, MCIOB, MCIAT etc).

• Proven experience delivering CDM services and Principal Designer duties.

• Confidence navigating complex design environments and influencing senior stakeholders.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to create clarity in technical situations.

• Consultancy experience or the ability to operate in a client-facing role.

• A genuine passion for improving design outcomes and raising industry standards.

This is not a static role. It is not a box-ticking environment. It is a chance to step into a respected, design-driven consultancy where you become a key figure in shaping how safety is integrated across major UK projects.

You will have:

• A clear pathway for progression into a leadership position.

• Exposure to a wide range of schemes that challenge and inspire.

• A supportive, forward-thinking team that values innovation.

• The chance to influence the direction of an already well-established service line.

If you are ambitious, proactive, and want your work to have real impact, you will thrive here.
