About the Role

Are you ready to take the lead in shaping safe, sustainable, and compliant spaces? This is your chance to bring your technical expertise and leadership skills into a role where you’ll influence design from the ground up, making a real impact across a range of projects.

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. If you’re looking for the next step in your career with a business that values people as much as projects, this could be it.

What you will be doing…

  • Taking the lead in design management, ensuring compliance with the latest Building Regulations (2023, Part 2A) and CDM 2015.
  • 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.
