Design Manager - Retail Cut & Carve Project - Hull

I'm working with a fit-out and refurbishment contractor who are looking to appoint a Design Manager for a retail cut and carve project in Hull.

The works involve the subdivision of an existing shopping unit into two smaller retail units, including associated strip-out, partitioning, and builder's works.

You will report into a site-based Project Manager and take responsibility for managing the design process throughout the project, ensuring design information is coordinated, issued on time, and aligned with programme and site requirements.

The Role:

• Managing the design process from pre-construction through to project completion
• Coordinating architects, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams
• Reviewing drawings and technical information to ensure buildability and compliance
• Managing design queries, RFIs, and design changes throughout the programme
• Ensuring design information is issued in line with procurement and construction deadlines
• Supporting the Project Manager with programme coordination and technical problem solving
• Liaising with the client and design team to ensure project requirements are met

Key Requirements:

• Previous experience as a Design Manager on retail refurbishment, fit-out, or cut and carve projects
• Strong technical understanding of construction details and drawing coordination
• Experience managing design programmes in fast-paced project environments
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to identify and resolve design issues proactively
• Construction or design-related qualifications preferred
