About the Role
Our client are a premier Glasgow-based residential developer specialising in high-quality multi-storey and housing developments. They are seeking a highly capable Technical Manager (or a driven Assistant Technical Manager) to oversee the technical lifecycle of our projects through both construction and post-construction stages.
This role bridges the gap between design and delivery. You will take full ownership of services, warranty sign-offs, and contractor design elements during the build, while critically driving post-completion NHBC defect resolutions and asset adoptions.
Key Responsibilities
- Asset Adoptions & Bonds: Progress road and water/waste-water asset adoptions; clear road bonds, manage sewer recoveries, and resolve statutory authority issues.
- Warranty & Sign-Offs: Collate design, environmental, and engineering data to secure NHBC technical sign-off and clear post-completion legacy defects.
- Contractor Design Elements (CDE): Collaborate with architects, engineers, and subcontractors to assemble CDE packages supporting building warrant applications.
- Utility Coordination: Lead communication and design-to-installation coordination with multi-utility contractors to meet strict project timelines.
- Environmental & Site Works: Oversee site investigation environmental works alongside geotechnical engineers to achieve NHBC and council sign-offs.
- Post-Completion Resolution: Investigate legacy site defects by reviewing historical design data and conducting hands-on site investigations.
- Technical Documentation: Produce site-specific technical specification documents in collaboration with internal departments.
