We're recruiting on behalf of an award-winning regional building contractor that has built an enviable reputation for delivering high-quality projects across the education, healthcare, residential, commercial, leisure and public sectors. Operating throughout the Midlands and surrounding regions, they deliver schemes ranging from £250k to £30m and continue to secure an impressive pipeline of work.
Due to continued growth, they're looking to appoint an experienced Design Manager to join their established Pre-Construction and Delivery team based in Wolverhampton.

Key responsibilities include:
* Managing design through pre-construction, construction and handover.
* Coordinating consultants, subcontractors, clients and internal project teams.
* Leading design meetings and ensuring design information is issued in line with programme requirements.
* Driving technical excellence, value engineering and compliance with Building Regulations, CDM and BIM processes.
* Supporting successful project delivery by managing design risks and resolving technical issues.
About You
We're keen to speak with candidates who have:
* Previous experience as a Design Manager with a UK main contractor.
* Strong technical construction knowledge across new build and refurbishment projects.
* Experience managing projects through both pre-construction and live delivery.
* Excellent communication, coordination and stakeholder management skills.
* A proactive approach with the ability to lead multidisciplinary design teams.
What's On Offer?
* Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
* Hybrid and flexible working.
* Private healthcare and enhanced holiday entitlement.
* Long-term career progression with a financially secure regional contractor.
* A collaborative, people-first culture where individuals are genuinely valued and developed.
