Form of work
SalaryWe are currently seeking an Assistant Design Manager to join our team, focusing on Rail projects within our Electrification & Plant portfolio. This position is a hybrid role, based out of our Blackfriars office with opportunities for remote work and occasional site visits.
As an Assistant Design Manager, you will play a crucial role in supporting the successful development of pre-construction works for both Network Rail and Octavius Infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include assisting in the development of schemes through design and pre-construction activities, collaborating closely with customers, stakeholders, design partners, suppliers, and delivery teams. You'll work towards delivering high-quality solutions within set financial targets, while fostering a collaborative culture throughout the project team.
In return for your contributions, we offer a competitive rewards package, including a Company Car scheme, Private Healthcare, Pension, Life Assurance cover, 25 days Annual Leave (plus a day off for your birthday), and opportunities for professional and personal development through our Hybrid working model and enhanced Paternity & Maternity package.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Experience interfacing with Design Contractors and Clients, driving design programs, and embracing Lean principles for efficiency improvements.
- Knowledge of BIM, technology, and IT to enhance project delivery.
- A proactive approach to identifying and implementing innovative solutions.
- Strong communication skills, NEC3 knowledge, and contract administration abilities.
- Previous experience managing design programs and ensuring quality, commercial performance, and adherence to schedules.
- Technical proficiency, including familiarity with Microsoft Project and construction industry practices.
- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience), with aspirations for professional membership with a relevant institution.
If you are a motivated individual with a passion for design management and are eager to contribute to our collaborative team environment, we encourage you to apply. While knowledge of Network Rail processes and safety leadership experience is advantageous, it is not essential for this role.
Inclusion and diversity are important to us, we are an equal opportunities employer and value difference. We want and will continue to build an inclusive environment where our people thrive. We firmly believe constantly striving to build a truly diverse workforce is what makes us a strong business and will enable us to continue to solve important problems and deliver unrivalled value to both our customers and clients. If you need any specialist support throughout your application, we will work with you where we can to support your journey with us.
