Design Coordinator
Location: Acton, West London
Sector: Main Contracting – Data Centres
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience + package
The Opportunity
Walker & Sloan is recruiting a Design Coordinator to join a specialist main contractor delivering a data centre project in Acton.
If you have a grounding in construction design coordination and want to develop your experience on a technically demanding project, this is an opportunity to work closely with design consultants, specialist subcontractors and the site delivery team.
Role Overview
You’ll support the coordination of design information, helping ensure drawings and technical submissions are reviewed, issued and available to support the construction programme.
Working alongside the design and project teams, you’ll help identify gaps between disciplines, track outstanding information and follow up on design queries. You’ll take part in design meetings, maintain action trackers and support the review of subcontractor design submissions.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role will involve coordinating architectural, structural and building services information, with attention to buildability and the interfaces between packages. You’ll also help communicate design changes so the site team has clear, up-to-date information.
About You
You may already be working as a Design Coordinator, Technical Coordinator or Assistant Design Manager, or be ready to move into a coordination role from a relevant construction design background.
You’ll understand how design information supports construction delivery and be comfortable reading technical drawings, raising queries and working with different project stakeholders. You’ll need an organised approach, attention to detail and the confidence to follow up on outstanding actions. Previous main contractor experience would be valuable. Data centre experience would be an advantage, although relevant experience from other construction sectors will also be considered.
