The Opportunity

We're recruiting on behalf of a growing, design-led construction products business looking to strengthen its in-house design capability with the appointment of a Technical Design Coordinator.

This role would suit someone with a Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering or technically focused Design Engineering background, who enjoys taking ownership of projects, solving technical challenges and working directly with customers and stakeholders.

Whilst CAD remains an important part of the role, this is not a drawing production position. Much of the detailed and repetitive CAD work is completed by external design resources, allowing you to focus on project coordination, technical problem solving, customer engagement and continuous improvement of design processes.

You'll play a key role in helping customers develop practical, deliverable solutions, guiding projects from order through to completion while acting as the link between customers, suppliers, contractors and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities

Coordinate projects from order through to completion
Review and manage GA drawings, layouts and technical documentation
Work closely with customers to understand requirements and clarify technical information
Identify missing information, potential issues and design risks before they affect project delivery
Take ownership of project progress, ensuring actions are followed up and projects continue moving forward
Coordinate and review work produced by external design resources
Manage design revisions, approvals and customer sign-off
Support customers, suppliers and installation teams with technical queries
Work closely with Operations to ensure solutions are practical, manufacturable and commercially viable
Drive improvements in design processes, standardisation and automation
Maintain accurate project records, drawing registers and status updates

What We're Looking For

Essential

Degree, HND or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Product Design, Design Engineering or a related technical discipline
Minimum 3 years' experience in Design Engineering, Technical Design, Design Coordination or Project Delivery
Strong CAD capability, ideally SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD
Experience working within manufacturing, engineering, construction products or related technical industries
Strong understanding of Design for Manufacture (DFM), engineering principles or construction product delivery
Excellent communication skills and confidence working directly with customers and stakeholders
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
Proactive mindset with strong ownership and problem-solving skills
Comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions and identifying missing information before problems occur

Desirable

Experience with architectural metalwork, balustrades, façades, steelwork, fabrication or construction products
Experience coordinating outsourced design resources
Exposure to process improvement, automation or standardisation initiatives
Experience working with architects, contractors, developers or manufacturing teams
Knowledge of BIM, Revit or other engineering design tools

Why Apply?

Join a growing business investing heavily in its design function
Work on technically challenging, bespoke projects
Play a key role in shaping and improving design systems and processes
Modern Clerkenwell studio environment
High level of project ownership and autonomy
Opportunity to influence continuous improvement and automation initiatives
Collaborative team culture with clear opportunities for development

Additional Information

This is a technical engineering and project coordination role, best suited to candidates from Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Manufacturing, Product Design or Construction Product backgrounds. Success in the role is driven as much by communication, project ownership and problem-solving ability as it is by CAD capability.
