If you are a design and construction professional with a passion for building homes where people can thrive, if you pride yourself on excellent customer service, teamwork and getting the best out of people - you belong at Bromford.
As design coordinator, you will be working on multiple sites at any one time, leading the design elements of the construction process, taking responsibility for the management and ownership of day to day activity, communication and any issues, escalating risks as and when required.
You'll take the lead in procuring reports and drawings to secure the discharge of all of the pre-commencement planning conditions and pre-occupation planning conditions, reviewing all commissioned reports and optimise/minimise our obligations where possible. You will secure any environmental and ecological permits so that protected species are removed safely so that work can commence on time.
You should commission reports, proactively identifying and recognising any immediate and future implications to the scheme, taking responsibility for checking the detailed drawings and others to ensure compliance with the planning consent and our design requirements and specification. You'll review relevant reports, ensuring they have been correctly budgeted for, escalating any issues to the head of technical or head of commercial, as required.
You'll use your experience and technical expertise to contribute and influence decisions, maintain an ongoing presence and relationship with the on-site team to work through operational design issues. Liaising and negotiating with external consultants and regulatory bodies regarding price and timescales, ensuring schemes are delivered on time, within budget and to a high standard.
As a valued team member you will contribute to high performance and quality within the team to ensure targets are achieved, acting as a coach and mentor to support the team with a focus on our graduates and trainees, providing technical development to enable us to develop future talent.
