ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our client is a fast-growing, slick and unique construction organisation who has started to make waves across the industry. The company was formed by several ex-directors from one of the biggest construction firms in the UK and has carried their top-tier contractor mentality into this business currently turning over £50m. This top-tier experience along with a lean team and solid financial backing gives this business an edge when bidding on projects, and the flexibility to move and change with the times, something that in this economic climate a lot of companies are struggling to do. They work predominantly as a Principle Contractor, but can also offer a range of services alongside their core business including offering pre-construction and construction management contracts as opposed to Design & Build, JV Partner agreements or working as a Built Environment Consultant. Our client works with developers, investors, contractors, product manufacturers and specialist consultants across a range of residential, regeneration, education and commercial projects, to provide a complete construction service.
With all of this in the arsenal, cash in the bank and new projects looming in and around London and the South East, this exciting young business is looking to grow exponentially across the different teams from pre-construction to commercial to delivery. This business will suit people who are well-polished from a top-tier contractor background who are fed up with slow-moving processes and big company bureaucracy, and who want to join a fast-paced and flexible organisation with big ideas and huge promises.
ABOUT THE ROLE
My client is currently looking for a Design Manager with experience in leading the design process and managing all design and technical elements on central London refurbishment and new build projects. The candidate will manage the design process in order to develop a design compliant with all contract requirements and in the most cost-effective way. All information will be fully coordinated in order to deliver the project on time, within budget and to meet the client’s requirements.
This position requires a Design Manager with a strong history of managing London projects through the delivery phase. The ideal candidate will have worked on logistically complex new build and refurb projects in tight spaces in central London. My client is keen to find someone with strong technical knowledge and will offer the opportunity to progress within the business before, during and after this project.
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
The salary will depend on the individual’s level of experience and is not set in stone. The company offers excellent opportunities and offers a basic salary of between £70,000 – £80,000 depending on the individual’s level – plus a generous benefits package. The company encourages promotion for candidates that are enthusiastic and competent. Employees will be promoted at a rate that is comfortable for their abilities rather than within a set company structure. This encourages the strengths and successes of the company and each individual.
REQUIREMENTS
Experience working as a Design Manager within a main contractor is essential. The perfect candidate will be degree qualified and must be trustworthy, reliable and conscientious and keen to progress their career further. You will also have to be a highly motivated individual and a strong team player. A consistent employment record is essential along with a desire to bed into the business and progress up the ranks.

From Quantity Surveyors to Site Managers to Civil Engineers, we work to the same objective of helping to enhance their careers.
And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.
SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Our clients range from small, privately owned specialist contractors right up to top-tier PLCs responsible for shaping our country’s landscape.
What our clients say
We have worked with Alex Wallace and the Cityscape Recruitment team for a number of years now and find their service excellent.
They supply well matched and vetted candidates and very quickly understood all our requirements. They have always demonstrated good market knowledge and an ability to deliver to our requirements.
Commercial Director,
Main Contractor
I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.
Operations Director,
Platt and Reilly Ltd
The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement. We look forward to working with Laura and Cityscape in the coming years.

When you first contact us, be that through direct contact, responding to an advert or applying through our website, we will connect you with a consultant who works in your specialist area.
Initially, they will arrange a meeting to talk through your CV and career history. They will encourage you to go into detail about your background and experiences, capabilities and responsibilities, personal circumstances and any other factors they feel are relevant to help them build up a well-rounded profile of you.
We take extraordinary care in matching professionals to an opportunity – one that will help enhance their careers and a clients’ team. We therefore also use this meeting to empower you in your career. Using our extensive knowledge of the construction industry, we would provide in-depth overviews of businesses, projects and available roles, and guidance on where your strengths will add the most value and career potential.
After this meeting, the consultant will speak to a number of their clients about you and your CV. Who they speak to can be either jointly agreed upon or you can trust the judgement and expertise of the consultant to contact clients they feel are the best fit for your experience and goals.
If any clients are interested in meeting with you, the consultant will manage the interview process, coaching you before any interviews if required. (Further guidance can be found here.)
If you are successful in receiving an offer(s), our consultant will communicate this with you and help to negotiate the offer(s) and any other terms of employment.
Finally, we will support you in resigning from your current role, navigating potential counter offers and starting your new role.
