Design Manager Job at Randstad CPE in Southampton

We are working with a regional contractor based near Winchester for a Design Manager to join the team.

There are several projects live in construction phase that you will be involved with immediately to help the delivery teams and supply chains deliver the schemes, as well as getting involved with the preconstruction teams on new opportunities. Typically, this will involve working with the estimating and bid team, a commercial and delivery / operational project manager, and one of the directors to build a team to fully explore and manage the bid through PQQ, tender, contract award, construction, and delivery.
