Senior CDM Advisor

Senior CDM Consultant / Principal Designer

Home based with travel across the Midlands and immediate area

£50,000 -  £65,000

A client facing CDM / Principal Designer role with a well-established construction consultancy supporting major developers, housebuilders and built environment clients across the Midlands and wider UK.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical side of CDM, but also wants to be trusted to manage their own workload, work directly with clients and have real involvement across live construction and development projects.

The role will cover a varied portfolio of schemes, including residential developments, refurbishment works, fire remedial projects and demolition elements where required. You’ll be working with clients, design teams, contractors and wider project teams, supporting projects from early stages through the CDM process.

The business is open on level. This could suit an experienced CDM Consultant already operating at senior level, or someone with solid CDM knowledge who is ready to step up into a more autonomous role.

Why this role is worth considering:

• Established consultancy with an excellent pipeline of CDM / Principal Designer work
• Varied project portfolio across residential, developer-led and built environment schemes
• Home based with travel - sites predominantly across the Midlands.
• Opportunity to work closely with major clients, including national housebuilders
• Scope to take ownership of your own workload and client relationships

Responsibilities will include:

• Delivering CDM Advisor / Principal Designer duties across construction projects
• Supporting clients through their duties under CDM 2015
• Attending design meetings and advising on design risk management
• Reviewing pre-construction information, construction phase plans and project documentation
• Liaising with clients, design teams, contractors and wider project stakeholders
• Providing practical CDM advice across residential, refurbishment, fire remedial and demolition-related works
• Managing your own workload and representing the business professionally with clients

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Experience within a similar CDM/PD focused position
• Good working knowledge of CDM 2015
• Consultancy or client-facing experience
• Confidence working independently and managing multiple projects

Package includes:

• £50,000 to £65,000 basic salary depending on experience 
• Up to £5,000 car allowance
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Private medical insurance
• 4% pension contribution
• Up to 2 professional memberships paid
• Hybrid working arrangement

This role would suit someone based in the Midlands, or along the wider M5 / M6 corridor. Candidates based further afield may still be considered if they are comfortable with the travel requirements.
