We're working with a growing residential developer and construction business in Greater Manchester that is looking to appoint a Head of Technical & Design.
The business specialises in Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and is introducing a prefabricated light steel frame system to the UK market. With its first residential developments already progressing across the North West and a growing pipeline of future sites, they are now looking for someone to take the lead across technical, design and compliance.
This is a hands-on role working closely with the Directors and would suit someone who wants the opportunity to genuinely shape how a new construction system is established and delivered in the UK.
The role
You'll lead the technical and design side of the business, working closely with external consultants, manufacturers, contractors, Building Control and warranty providers to make sure projects are compliant and ready to build.
A key part of the initial role will be navigating the technical approval and structural warranty process, ensuring the construction system meets the requirements needed to secure a 10-year new-build warranty for future developments.
Responsibilities will include:
Coordinating architects, structural engineers and other consultants Managing Building Regulations and Building Control requirements Managing technical information, drawings and approvals Working with structural warranty providers and coordinating their technical requirements Supporting the process of securing 10-year new-build warranties Liaising with the light steel frame manufacturer and their technical team Managing technical and design issues through pre-construction and delivery Working closely with main contractors and specialist subcontractors Monitoring outstanding approvals, information, programme and technical risks Supporting residential projects from pre-construction through to completion Helping establish technical processes that can be replicated across future developments
Who are we looking for?
We're open-minded on exact job title and background. You could currently be a Technical Manager, Head of Technical, Technical Director, Design Manager or MMC/Offsite specialist.
What's more important is a strong technical understanding of residential construction alongside experience with MMC, modular, offsite, prefabricated, panelised or light steel frame construction.
You'll ideally have strong knowledge of UK Building Regulations and Building Control, alongside experience coordinating consultants and managing technical approvals.
