What’s on offer?

We’re searching for an experienced Senior Principal Designer who thrives on collaboration, clear decision-making, and guiding project teams through the challenges of Building Regulations and CDM.

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.
Supporting site inspections and health & safety requirements, with opportunities to expand into HRB work, access audits, and RAMS reviews.

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.
