How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

    Job description

    A great opportunity for an ambitious Assistant Design Manager / Design Coordinator to join a well-established and highly regarded main contractor based from its Wakefield office.

    The business has a strong pipeline of work across Yorkshire and the wider region, delivering a varied portfolio of commercial, industrial, education and public-sector projects.

    This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to develop their career in Design Management, working alongside experienced construction and design professionals on projects from pre-construction through to delivery.

    The Role

    You’ll play a key part in coordinating the design process, ensuring information is delivered accurately, on time and in a format that works for the construction team.

    Your responsibilities will include:

    * Coordinating design information across live and pre-construction projects

    * Managing architects, consultants and specialist subcontractor design

    * Identifying design gaps, risks and buildability issues

    * Chairing and attending Design Team Meetings

    * Managing design programmes and information release schedules

    * Reviewing drawings, specifications and technical information

    * Supporting value engineering and practical buildability solutions

    * Coordinating consultant appointments, scopes and responsibility matrices

    * Working closely with Project Managers, Site Teams, Commercial teams and clients

    * Ensuring the design supports safe, efficient and profitable project delivery

    Who Are We Looking For?

    This role would be particularly suitable for someone already working as a Design Coordinator or Assistant Design Manager who is looking to take the next step in their career.

    Alternatively, it could be an excellent opportunity for an Architectural Assistant – Part 2, or someone from an architectural background, who is considering a change in career path and would like to move into contractor-side Design Management.

    You should have:

    * Experience within construction or architectural design

    * A good understanding of the design and construction process

    * Strong coordination and communication skills

    * The confidence to work with consultants, subcontractors and project teams

    * A practical, solutions-focused approach to design

    You don’t need to be the finished article. What’s more important is a strong technical grounding, good communication skills and the ambition to develop into a fully-fledged Design Manager.

    What’s On Offer?

    * Salary of £35,000 – £40,000

    * Car allowance

    * Comprehensive company benefits package

    * Varied and technically interesting projects

    * Excellent career progression

    * The opportunity to develop within an established regional contractor with a strong forward workload

    If you’re currently working as a Design Coordinator or within an architectural role and want to explore a move into Design Management, this is an opportunity well worth looking at.
