Join a high-performing, fast-growing contractor delivering complex, high-value (£100m+) mission-critical projects across the UK and Europe. This is a rare opportunity for a driven Design Manager to take ownership of technically challenging builds in the data centre, pharmaceutical, and advanced logistics sectors - while stepping into a clear and supported path towards Senior Management and ultimately Director level. You'll be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team trusted by blue-chip clients and known for quality, innovation, and rapid career development.

In this role, you'll take full ownership of the design process, from coordination through to technical assurance and site integration. Working alongside the project team, consultants, and subcontractors, you'll manage the flow of design information and ensure alignment with programme, budget, and quality expectations.

The role will suit candidates with a background in MEP or Build (CSA) who are confident in navigating the technical design process, BIM coordination, and working in a fast-paced delivery environment. This is a site based role for a major confidential data centre client. Applicants must be flexible to travel and have relevant UK project experience

• Managing and coordinating the full design process, aligning with client and construction requirements
  
• Leading design meetings with clients, consultants, and subcontractors
  
• Reviewing and managing design deliverables including drawings, technical submittals, and packages
  
• Ensuring quality control through site inspections and design reviews
  
• Overseeing completion of as-built packages and final design documentation
