Brisbane, Australia McNab Full time

McNab is one of the largest Construction, Development and Property groups in Australia, with turnover now exceeding $1bn each year. Despite our growth and size, we've never lost our small company DNA - which centers around genuine care for our staff, customers and all our stakeholders. Success for us isn't about awards or growth, it's when we deliver so well that our customers are proud to wear a McNab T-Shirt on weekends

We genuinely care. We make it easy. We deliver certainty. 

This is our promise - to our clients, and everyone we deal with. Delivering on these three things really, really well is what drives us at McNab. Everything we do, from recruiting and training to performance and promotion, centers around this promise.

We leverage the entire McNab Group to deliver certainty for our clients at a time of unprecedented uncertainty in the industry. And our approach works. From delivering our own property developments, to manufacturing our own building products, and a plethora of aligned businesses, your career at McNab goes well beyond traditional construction roles.

The Head of Design role is a role not usually seen within the market, and at McNab we do design differently. We get a large amount of repeat or referral business that sees us place emphasis on the design process early with our clients, working with them to provide our expertise and plan the job effectively. This delivers high quality outcomes for all involved, challenges commercial opportunities, and helps set our jobs up for success. Reporting to the Head of Construction, this role will be pivotal in ensuring that our team of more than 20 design professionals continue to provide this service to the business, our clients, and ongoingly to all our projects. Inspirational leadership with large teams, legendary relationship management, and sound construction technical expertise will all be key for this role. 

This role will see you:

  • Leading, mentoring and providing strategic direction to all Senior Design Managers, to create outcomes with their Design Managers, Coordinators and Cadets.
  • Regularly communicating with the broader McNab team and businesses to ensure alignment, connection and strategic outcomes - particularly with construction, to develop and understand the front end of the business.
  • Directly managing relationships with key stakeholder groups including internal stakeholders, designers, contractors, consultants, and approval authorities to achieve required business outcomes, and in a manner that enhances the image and reputation of McNab and delivers on expectations.
  • Using your expertise, support the design team and project teams through project design and construction issues, including assessing risk, value engineering to create opportunity, assessing and recommending consultants, and ensuring contractual obligations are in line with requirements
  • Ensuring that the design team is adequately resourced and planned, and that effective mentorship and development is occurring to continually challenge and grow the team.

Just some of the McNab Benefits:

  • Annual health and fitness subsidy.
  • Additional leave programs – e.g. purchasing annual leave, birthday leave, parental leave program
  • Internal development opportunities through tailored training programs.
  • Working directly with the executives of a successful home-grown business that encourage growth and provide mentorship.
  • Flexible working options based around your needs.

This is an outstanding opportunity to build a strong career with a reputable construction company that places an emphasis on the design process - if this is something you want to be a part of APPLY NOW
