What’s on offer?

- Acting as a trusted advisor to clients and design teams, bringing clarity and confidence to complex regulations.
- Using your strong communication skills to coordinate teams and influence key project decisions.

What we’re looking for…
- A degree in Building Control, Architecture, or Structural Engineering.
- At least 3 years’ experience in design management or building control.
- Additional qualifications such as NEBOSH.
- Professional memberships (APS, IOSH, CABE).
- A strong working knowledge of Building Regulations, Health & Safety legislation, and design coordination.
Why you’ll love it here…
- A supportive, people-first culture where career development is encouraged at every stage.
- A modern, flexible approach to work – because we know life doesn’t stop outside the office.
- The chance to join a forward-thinking team that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.
If you’re ready to bring your expertise to a role that offers both responsibility and growth, we’d love to hear from you.
