Canary Wharf,

I'm working with a respected developer on a major residential scheme in Canary Wharf. They're looking for an experienced Design Manager to join the team on a permanent basis, working client-side to coordinate and deliver design packages across a large multi-phase project.

This is a great opportunity to be part of a well-structured team on a project with strong design intent, high standards, and a lot of technical complexity.

What you'll be doing:

Coordinating consultant and trade contractor design packages, ensuring delivery is on time and aligned with the programme
Reviewing drawings and technical submittals to ensure compliance with statutory regs and internal design guides
Leading design meetings, managing actions, and liaising closely with site teams and the commercial department
Supporting with procurement of packages and input on value engineering opportunities
Ensuring planning conditions are discharged and handover information is compiled and completeWhat they're looking for:

5-7 years' experience in a role within residential construction
Strong understanding of building regs, construction methods and technical coordination
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment
Able to manage consultants and subcontractors effectively and drive progress
Site experience is a bonus, but not essentialThis is a hands-on role with lots of ownership – ideal for someone who wants to get stuck into a project and see it through.

The team has a strong reputation for delivery, and you'll be working alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative environment
