• Ensure all documentation complies with building codes, safety standards, and construction methodologies.


• Collaborate with pre-construction and project teams to align design with budget, sequencing, and timelines.


• Proactively manage design risks, approvals, and changes to maintain project integrity.


• Engage stakeholders across all levels to ensure clear communication and alignment.


• Contribute to tenders and business development with design insights and value-engineering strategies.


• Champion innovation and digital design practices (e.g., BIM) to enhance outcomes.

What You'll Bring:


• Tertiary qualification in Architecture, Engineering, Project Management, or related field.


• Minimum 5 years' experience in a design management role.


• Strong understanding of the National Construction Code (NCC) – Building Classes 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.


• Proficiency in design and project management tools (e.g., REVIT, PROCORE).


• Excellent communication, analytical, and organisational skills.


• Strong leadership and people management capabilities.


• Ability to thrive under pressure and meet tight deadlines.
