The Opportunity

We're recruiting on behalf of a growing, design-led construction products business looking to strengthen its in-house design capability with the appointment of a Technical Design Coordinator.

This role would suit someone with a Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering or technically focused Design Engineering background, who enjoys taking ownership of projects, solving technical challenges and working directly with customers and stakeholders.

Whilst CAD remains an important part of the role, this is not a drawing production position. Much of the detailed and repetitive CAD work is completed by external design resources, allowing you to focus on project coordination, technical problem solving, customer engagement and continuous improvement of design processes.

You'll play a key role in helping customers develop practical, deliverable solutions, guiding projects from order through to completion while acting as the link between customers, suppliers, contractors and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Coordinate projects from order through to completion
  • Review and manage GA drawings, layouts and technical documentation
  • Work closely with customers to understand requirements and clarify technical information
  • Identify missing information, potential issues and design risks before they affect project delivery
  • Take ownership of project progress, ensuring actions are followed up and projects continue moving forward
  • Coordinate and review work produced by external design resources
  • Manage design revisions, approvals and customer sign-off
  • Support customers, suppliers and installation teams with technical queries
  • Work closely with Operations to ensure solutions are practical, manufacturable and commercially viable
  • Drive improvements in design processes, standardisation and automation
  • Maintain accurate project records, drawing registers and status updates

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • Degree, HND or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Product Design, Design Engineering or a related technical discipline
  • Minimum 3 years' experience in Design Engineering, Technical Design, Design Coordination or Project Delivery
  • Strong CAD capability, ideally SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD
  • Experience working within manufacturing, engineering, construction products or related technical industries
  • Strong understanding of Design for Manufacture (DFM), engineering principles or construction product delivery
  • Excellent communication skills and confidence working directly with customers and stakeholders
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
  • Proactive mindset with strong ownership and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions and identifying missing information before problems occur

Desirable

  • Experience with architectural metalwork, balustrades, façades, steelwork, fabrication or construction products
  • Experience coordinating outsourced design resources
  • Exposure to process improvement, automation or standardisation initiatives
  • Experience working with architects, contractors, developers or manufacturing teams
  • Knowledge of BIM, Revit or other engineering design tools

Why Apply?

  • Join a growing business investing heavily in its design function
  • Work on technically challenging, bespoke projects
  • Play a key role in shaping and improving design systems and processes
  • Modern Clerkenwell studio environment
  • High level of project ownership and autonomy
  • Opportunity to influence continuous improvement and automation initiatives
  • Collaborative team culture with clear opportunities for development

Additional Information

This is a technical engineering and project coordination role, best suited to candidates from Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Manufacturing, Product Design or Construction Product backgrounds. Success in the role is driven as much by communication, project ownership and problem-solving ability as it is by CAD capability.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
