Overview
We’re working with an established main contractor who is looking to strengthen their Design Management team in London with experienced Design Managers who have a background in DfE-funded projects.
This is a great opportunity for someone who understands the demands of working within the education sector and is looking to join a well-established contractor with a strong pipeline of work.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
We’re particularly interested in candidates with experience delivering DfE projects, specifically those who have worked under the CF17 or CF21 frameworks, or who have a strong track record delivering higher education and/or university teaching facilities.
About You
- Main contractor experience as a Design Manager or Senior Design Manager
- Proven experience delivering DfE / education projects
- CF17 or CF21 framework experience is essential, or significant experience delivering higher education/university teaching facilities
- Strong understanding of design management, coordination and technical delivery
- Confident managing consultants, subcontractors and design teams
- Good communication and stakeholder management skills
- London-based project experience would be advantageous
