LB Design recruitment is working with a leading practice specialising in traditional and classical architecture. They are now looking to recruit a Principal Designer to join their team working on bespoke private residential projects.
The role would suit a Building Control professional, Approved Inspector, Design Manager or Architect with several years of experience in the compliance and Health and Safety sector.
The work will involve taking the lead in planning, managing and monitoring design work, advising the architectural teams on compliance matters to ensure that the design complies with the Building Regulations and developing the practices’ ability to effectively provide this service to their clients.
The role will initially encompass the management of Principal Designer duties under the Building Safety Act but would ideally develop to enable the practice to also act as Principal Designer (CDM).
Skills and experience required:
- Previous experience in the construction industry, ideally in a compliance or health and safety role.
- Excellent knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022.
- In-depth understanding of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
- Excellent problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and foster strong relationships with design directors, the senior leadership team and the architectural delivery teams.
- Strong project management skills and the ability to prioritise and manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.
They will consider people who have not registered with the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) as the majority of work is within the non-HRB sector.
The role will be based out of their Winchester studio, but with the option of working from their London studio once a week to maintain an understanding and awareness across the whole company.
As a company they encourage a healthy work life balance and promote activities which enrich the working lives of their employees. They provide lots of activities which are available to all staff. Staff benefits include paid overtime, payment of professional memberships and free parking at their Winchester studio.
Please note that all candidates must have proof of eligibility to work in the UK.
