• Compliance & Standards: Ensure all designs adhere to building regulations, planning policies, and health & safety requirements, while maintaining awareness of industry trends and innovations.
• Quality & Documentation: Maintain exceptional attention to detail in all drawings and specifications, supporting the creation and upkeep of project documentation and design guidelines.
• Site & Project Support: Assist with site surveys and resolve site queries through updated technical details or clarifications.

What You’ll Need to Have (Our Must-Haves)

• Technical Competence: Strong understanding of UK Building Regulations and construction legislation, with proficiency in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit).
• Communication & Stakeholder Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present ideas clearly and manage expectations effectively.
• Personal Attributes: Highly organised, detail-oriented, and adaptable, with a proactive approach to problem-solving and collaboration.
• Clean UK Driving Licence: Required for site visits and project coordination.

It Would Be Great If You Also Had:

• Experience in retail, commercial, or fast-paced multi-site environments.
• Familiarity with landlord approval processes, planning applications, and building control.
