We are working with a small but growing architectural practice, who pride themselves in creating innovative designs for a range of projects both commercial and residential (new builds, extensions, house renovations and loft conversions). Now seeking a Design Manager to manage a small team working on the residential projects, from small extensions to complete new build developments.

- Carrying out site surveys
- Liaising closely with clients and other stakeholders (eg Case Officers, Building Control, Contractors etc)
In addition to a salary commensurate with experience, you will also have your own office, laptop and mobile and use of a pool car for site visits/meetings. Our client prides themselves on their relaxed and fun working atmosphere – you spend so much time at work they want you to enjoy being there. Although they would prefer you to be office-based all five days, they can accommodate one day per week working from home if required. There may also be some flexibility for start-finish times – usual office hours are 8.30-5.
