Design Manager
Design Manager - Fit Out
Location: London
We are looking to appoint an experienced Design Manager to join our Fit Out team, supporting high-quality refurbishment, workplace and interior fit-out projects across London. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands the pace, detail and coordination required to take complex Cat B schemes from pre-construction and design development through delivery, commissioning and handover.
You will be at the centre of the project team, protecting design intent while making sure every detail is buildable, coordinated and commercially deliverable. Working closely with clients, architects, consultants, specialist subcontractors and our site teams, you will resolve interfaces early, drive technical decisions and help turn ambitious concepts into exceptional finished spaces. The role offers real autonomy to influence design, quality, programme and the customer experience.
Key Duties
- Lead the design management process from tender and pre-construction through detailed design, construction, commissioning and handover on fast-paced fit-out projects
- Coordinate interiors, MEP, specialist joinery, ceilings, partitions, finishes, furniture, AV/IT and other subcontractor design packages, ensuring interfaces are fully resolved before installation
- Work closely with clients, architects and consultants to protect the design vision while challenging details for buildability, value, programme and compliance
- Drive design workshops, technical reviews and early coordination to close out information gaps, design changes and clashes quickly, particularly where projects interface with existing buildings, landlord works or live base-build environments
- Own design information flow, approvals, trackers, samples, benchmarks and technical submissions, ensuring the site team has the right information at the right time and that quality expectations are understood before works commence
