We’re looking for a senior technical specialist to lead design, structural & thermal calculations, specification, and product development for a high-performance façade range — while working closely with architects, engineers, and contractors on major projects.

If you have solid experience in cladding systems and are ready for a role with real technical ownership and influence, this could be an excellent next step.

• Technical design and specification of rain-screen cladding systems, including structural and thermal calculations from feasibility to detailed design stage
• Providing technical support across the full spectrum of facade system enquiries, from initial feasibility through to detailed design and specification
• Managing and developing technical relationships with a broad range of construction professionals including architects, structural engineers, facade consultants, and facade contractors
• Working collaboratively within a technical team environment, particularly on design enquiries requiring joint technical input and colleague review
• Product range management including new product launches, competitor analysis, and compliance with industry regulations
• Delivering technical training and CPD presentations to internal and external audiences
• Minimum five years in a construction environment; preference for candidates with cladding design, specification sales, or product management experience
• Degree-level education, ideally in Structural Engineering or a related discipline
• Strong AutoCAD knowledge and working knowledge of Eurocode 0, 1 and 9
• Self-motivated, well organised, and able to work on own initiative with a high level of technical self-sufficiency
• Holds a valid driving licence

Responsibilities:

Design & Technical

• Provide detailed technical specifications, structural calculations, thermal calculations, and detail drawings for rain-screen cladding systems
• Deliver professional advisory service from initial feasibility advice through to detailed structural design
• Carry out on-site testing and customer training as required

Technical Support & Training

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for all facade system enquiries from architects, structural engineers, facade consultants, contractors, and any other construction professionals specifying or working with the facade systems range
• Work alongside the Technical Sales team in responding to technical enquiries, supporting the specification process, and ensuring customers receive accurate and consistent technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle
• Manage the preparation and delivery of CPD seminars, product training sessions, and technical presentations for customers, architects, engineers, consultants, and internal teams
• Maintain and keep up to date all technical project records, specifications, and correspondence in the CRM system and Project Tracker, ensuring the information is accurate and accessible to the wider team
• Carry out on-site technical visits, demonstrations, and customer training as required

Design Team Collaboration

• Work alongside the Specification Engineer as a technical colleague on design enquiries, sharing responsibility for delivering accurate and timely design outputs
• Jointly handle the full design enquiry workload, with tasks allocated according to capacity and complexity rather than hierarchy
• Apply the 4-eyes review principle on all design outputs: calculations, specifications, and drawings produced by either team member must be reviewed by the other before issue
• Maintain open communication with the Specification Engineer to ensure consistency of approach, technical standards, and workload visibility across the team

Product Management

• Manage the product range, observing industry trends and assuring compliance with the Company Employee Handbook
• Manage the introduction of new products in line with the Company New Products Launch Procedures
• Ensure company literature and website are kept up to date and communicate changes to other departments and customers

Internal Technical Advisory

• Work alongside the Technical Sales team on specification and design enquiries, contributing technical expertise as an equal partner in the customer engagement process
• Provide technical guidance to customer services regarding product and system definitions
• Provide technical input to the procurement department on product specifications where requested, noting that procurement relationships and supply chain management are led by the Technical Sales team
• Undertake various other projects or duties as required by the Head of Project Engineering
