The Opportunity
We’re recruiting for a growing, design-led construction products business, seeking to enhance its in-house design team with a Technical Design Coordinator.
This hands-on, project-focused role involves managing live projects while linking customers, architects, contractors, and internal teams. You’ll oversee tasks from order to completion, ensuring technical designs are accurate, deliverable, and aligned with project requirements.
Ideal for someone who thrives at combining CAD-based technical design, project coordination, and stakeholder collaboration—not purely producing drawings.
