We are recruiting on behalf of a growing, design-led construction products business looking to strengthen its in-house design capability with the appointment of a Technical Design Coordinator.

This is a hands-on, project-focused role where you will manage multiple live projects and act as the link between customers, architects, contractors and internal teams. You will be involved from order through to completion, ensuring designs are accurate, deliverable and aligned with project requirements.

The role will suit someone who enjoys combining CAD-based technical design with project ownership and stakeholder interaction, rather than purely producing drawings.

• Produce and review GA drawings, layouts and technical documentation
• Coordinate projects from order through to completion
• Liaise with customers, architects, contractors and internal teams
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring steady progress
• Take ownership of timelines, resolving issues and driving projects forward
• Coordinate external design resource and review outputs
• Manage design changes, approvals and sign-off
• Support installation teams with technical queries
• Work closely with operations to ensure designs are practical and manufacturable

• At least 3 years' experience in technical design, design coordination or similar within construction or manufacturing
• Strong CAD capability, ideally SolidWorks or Autodesk
• Experience working on construction-led or product-based projects
• Confident communicator, comfortable dealing directly with customers and stakeholders
• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple projects
• Proactive, with a strong sense of ownership and problem-solving approach

• Experience with architectural metalwork, balustrades, façades or similar systems
• Exposure to design for manufacture
• Experience working with architects, developers or contractors

• Opportunity to join a growing business investing in its design function
• Modern studio environment in Clerkenwell
• Role with clear ownership and responsibility across projects
• Collaborative team with scope to shape processes and make improvements

This is a technical CAD-based role using SolidWorks, focused on construction-related design and project coordination. It is not a graphic or creative design position.
