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
