Our East Sussex based client has been established for more than 25 years and are globally recognised as market leaders in the design, manufacture and installation of innovative high quality stair solutions for supply throughout the world.
As a result of continued success and an ongoing programme of strategic growth they are now looking to recruit an experienced Design Manager / Senior Design Engineer / Department Manager to complement their established and highly successful team.
Whilst occasionally undertaking bespoke staircase design from concept through to handover, the role predominantly necessitates taking an existing design from a leading architect and developing the design to construction, developing designs to take into consideration aesthetics, buildability, program, budget and sustainability.
With responsibility for specifying materials, components and finishes that meet the project brief, regulations and are commercially viable and available, as Design Manager you will work in conjunction with the project design team whilst liaising with the company's production facility in the Netherlands and installers in the UK.
Careful document management is critical in the position, so an organised approach and meticulous eye for detail are essential, as is careful management of client communication to ensure that contracts are complied with, and any variations are agreed upon and captured, so excellent communication skills at all levels are key for the position to ensure relationships are developed and maintained with both clients and external customers.
To be considered for this varied and challenging Design Manager opportunity you will demonstrate:
* Knowledge and experience of using AutoCAD with Parametric modelling for 3D CAD (preferred to Direct modelling) or Autodesk Fusion 360
* Knowledge of helical / spiral stair design
* BIM experience
* Familiarity with bespoke metalwork & architectural products and experience in the design of Stairs and Balustrades
* Effective communication skills when liaising with other internal departments, customers, and suppliers alike
* Project Management skills and the ability to prioritise tasks effectively
* Adaptability and ability to work on your own initiative and multi-task
* Proficiency with the MS suite of packages
* Commercial awareness
This is an exceptional Design Manager opportunity that would best suit an architectural technician or product designer with built environment experience who is seeking a progressive move within a dynamic and technically challenging environment.
