This is a role for a designer who enjoys the
technical side of design just as much as the creative.
You ll be joining a growing Design & Build team where you won t just be producing drawings in isolation - you ll be involved from early test fits and layouts through to detailed packs and on-site delivery. It s a hands-on position, ideal for someone who wants to take real ownership of projects and develop into a well-rounded D&B designer.
While there s a creative element, the focus here leans more technical - so confidence in producing detailed information and understanding how designs are actually built is key.
What you ll be doing - Producing test fits, layouts and design concepts aligned to budget
- Developing full technical drawing packages (GA s, RCPs, finishes, power & data, elevations, sections)
- Cross-referencing subcontractor information and coordinating design details
- Working directly with clients presenting ideas, running meetings and managing feedback
- Attending site surveys, pre-start meetings and supporting delivery on site
- Liaising with subcontractors, consultants and internal teams across pre-con and construction
- Reviewing designs on site and suggesting practical improvements
What they re looking for - Strong AutoCAD skills with experience producing detailed technical packs
- A good design eye, with the ability to translate concepts into buildable solutions
- Solid understanding of commercial workplace design and building regulations
- Confident, client-facing and comfortable presenting your work
- Experience being on site and working alongside delivery teams
- Detail-oriented, organised and able to manage multiple deadlines
Bonus experience (not essential) - SketchUp
- Exposure to planning applications
- Understanding of Principal Designer responsibilities / higher-risk buildings
- Basic MEP awareness
The type of person who does well here - Practical, solutions-focused and commercially aware
- Takes ownership and accountability for their work
- Comfortable working independently but also part of a wider team
- Approachable, professional and confident dealing with clients and contractors
- Keen to learn and develop within a fast-paced D&B environment
Why consider it - Strong pipeline of workplace projects
- Exposure across the full project lifecycle
- Supportive, collaborative team environment
- Ongoing training and development
- Regular team socials and events
- Benefits package including enhanced leave, pension and healthcare support
If you re currently in a more creative or purely technical role and want to become a
true all-round D&B designer, this is the kind of environment that will get you there.
