Assistant Design Manager (Oxfordshire / Multi-Sector)
Salary: Up to £45,000 + package
The Role:
This isn’t your desk-bound design job. As an Assistant Design Manager, you’ll sit at the heart of a multi-disciplinary construction business, helping shape projects from concept through to completion. The work spans commercial, education, healthcare, conservation, and residential sectors - and we’re looking for someone who cares deeply about design and delivery.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Supporting the design management team through technical and architectural coordination
- Working closely with site teams, contractors, and consultants to ensure design intent is realised
- Helping to drive sustainable design solutions (low carbon, long life, low waste) - because that’s how we think at this company
- Producing and reviewing design drawings, drawings schedules, and information packs
- Managing design risk and design-related contractual obligations
Who You Are:
- You’ve worked in design, architecture, or a similar role (or have a relevant qualification) and want to move into construction delivery
- Highly organised, detail-focused, and confident liaising with both design and construction teams
- A problem solver - you enjoy turning design challenges into practical, buildable solutions
- Passionate about collaboration: this isn’t solo architect work - it’s team-based, cross-discipline, and employee-owned
Why This Role?
- You’ll work on a wide range of high-profile, meaningful projects - from labs and schools to conservation jobs, stretch your design muscles.
- A culture that values sustainability, long-term vision, and doing things properly - not cutting corners.
- Real development opportunities: grow into a design lead or site-lead role, with internal training and mentorship
