Small sites, low density, and a specification that rewards close attention to detail rather than economies of scale. Every scheme is different, which means every scheme brings its own technical puzzle, whether that is a tricky topography, a listed building next door, or a design panel with strong opinions about brick bond. The technical team here take real pride in getting it right rather than getting it done quickly, and they are looking for a Senior Technical Coordinator who shares that instinct.
The Role
You will lead the technical process on two or three live schemes at a time, sitting between the design team and the build team to make sure the vision that won planning survives contact with buildability, budget, and Building Regulations. This is not a house-type factory. Expect bespoke detailing, close work with architects who care about elevational treatment, and a level of design scrutiny that most volume roles never see.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading technical design coordination from RIBA Stage 3 through to construction issue on bespoke, low-density schemes
- Managing consultant teams including architects, structural and civil engineers, and landscape designers
- Discharging planning conditions and managing design review or conservation input where relevant
- Overseeing NHBC and Building Control submissions and resolving technical queries with a keen eye for detail rather than shortcuts
- Reviewing specifications and material choices to protect design intent through to completion
- Mentoring a Technical Coordinator and supporting their development
What We’re Looking For
- Strong track record in technical coordination on premium or design-led residential schemes
- Confident working with bespoke house types and non-standard detailing, not just repeat house-type layouts
- Sound understanding of NHBC, Building Regulations, and the planning conditions process
- An eye for design quality and the patience to protect it through value engineering conversations
- Degree or HNC in a construction-related subject, with relevant site or design office experience
What’s on Offer
- Salary of £45,000 to £50,000 depending on experience
- Car allowance, private healthcare, and enhanced pension contribution
- Genuine involvement in design decisions rather than pure process management
- A small, senior team where your opinion on specification and detailing carries real weight
- Hybrid working with regular but manageable site attendance
