All-round Designer
New Today
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
