We are currently seeking a Design Coordinator to join a progressive, family-run SME based in Shrewsbury.

You will be solely responsible for the design coordination and other duties as assigned to manage the design and associated processes.

  • Research, coordinate, price external surveyors and arranging their visits to sites
  • Liaise with the Structural Engineers and other third parties.
  • Brief the Designer on the drawing requirements for all projects
  • Inform Designers on any changes required following client comments, liaise with Installations Manager and/or Purchasing Manager on technical issues and forward drawings internally for comment as required
  • Chase up clients for drawings approval.

We are keen to speak to anyone who has the following skills and experience:

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • A basic understanding of construction/ manufacturing processes
  • Must be extremely organised with excellent attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently unsupervised.
  • Be comfortable managing multiple tasks and have a problem-solving aptitude

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team at a time of anticipated growth and development for the company.
