Due to continued growth within our Infrastructure business, we are looking for a Design Coordinator to join our Water team, supporting the successful delivery of major infrastructure projects across the South West.
Working alongside Design Managers, project teams, designers and our supply chain, you will coordinate the design process from tender stage through to construction, ensuring design information is delivered on time, meets client requirements and supports efficient project delivery. You'll play an important role in driving collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, identifying buildability opportunities, and ensuring designs are practical, coordinated and ready for construction.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong technical understanding of civil engineering or infrastructure projects who enjoys working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
What You'll Be Doing
- Coordinate the design process from tender through to construction, ensuring design information is delivered in line with programme, quality and client requirements.
- Work collaboratively with designers, project teams, subcontractors and clients to develop practical, buildable and cost-effective engineering solutions.
- Organise and coordinate design meetings, manage design information and support the timely delivery of design packages throughout the project lifecycle.
- Promote value engineering, identify design risks and opportunities, and help resolve technical and buildability challenges across multidisciplinary teams.
- Monitor design progress, coordinate interfaces between civil, mechanical and electrical disciplines, and support procurement and construction teams to achieve successful project delivery.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
