Technical Design Lead- (Façades / Remediation) — BSR & Gateway Focus
Location: Leicester
Sector: Building Envelope / Façade Remediation & Recladding
A well-established building envelope contractor delivering façade remediation and recladding schemes (including high-rise residential projects over 18m requiring Gateway approval) is looking to appoint a senior Technical Design Lead to take ownership of Building Safety Regulator (BSR) submissions and the full Gateway process.
This is a compliance-led technical role. It’s ideal for a senior façade professional who understands systems and remediation, but prefers governance, coordination and regulatory submission leadership over day-to-day CAD production.
The Role:
You’ll lead the technical compliance workflow across live remediation projects, ensuring documentation is accurate, structured and aligned with the Building Safety Act and HRB requirements.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning and coordinating Gateway 2 submissions to the BSR
- Managing and responding to BSR RFIs and regulatory queries
- Compiling technical information into clear, compliant submission packs
- Coordinating consultants, façade designers and internal teams to validate accuracy
- Ensuring alignment with Building Regulations, HRB requirements, and the Building Safety Act
- Supporting internal stakeholders with compliance strategy and process improvement across the business
What We’re Looking For:
You’ll likely come from a façade/cladding technical background, with strong exposure to HRB compliance and submission work.
Essential
- Strong understanding of HRB projects (18m+)
- Proven experience with Gateway submissions and/or Building Control processes
- Background in façades, cladding, EWI, recladding or remediation
- Experience compiling technical compliance packs and structured documentation
- Strong written, organisational and stakeholder management skills
- Confidence liaising with regulators, consultants and client-side stakeholders
Desirable
- Technical qualification in Architecture, Building Technology, Façade Engineering (or similar)
- Experience supporting multiple projects and building internal compliance frameworks
Why Apply?
- Take ownership of regulatory compliance within a contractor with a strong remediation pipeline
- Senior, strategic position with real influence across delivery
- Work in a specialist façade environment at the forefront of post-Grenfell remediation
- Employee Owned Trust structure (long-term cultural and financial benefits)
