Established more than 60 years ago, the business has built an excellent reputation for designing and delivering high-quality buildings and places that positively contribute to their communities. The consultancy works across major residential developments, urban regeneration, mixed-use schemes, later living, care, commercial property, industrial developments, retrofit and adaptive reuse.

Its portfolio includes new neighbourhoods containing several thousand homes, complex town-centre regeneration projects, estate renewal programmes, affordable housing developments and specialist care environments. The successful candidate will join an established multidisciplinary environment where architects, urban designers, technical specialists, project managers, building safety professionals and sustainability consultants work collaboratively.

The Role: You will work as part of the specialist Building Safety and Development Consultancy team, acting as Principal Designer under the Building Regulations and supporting clients and internal design teams in meeting their statutory duties. The wider team provides a comprehensive range of building safety services, including Principal Designer delivery, Building Regulations compliance advice, fire safety support, safety cases, digital records, training, site audits and quality inspections. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced design, technical or construction professional who enjoys working closely with clients and multidisciplinary design teams on complex projects. You will plan, manage, monitor and coordinate design work to ensure compliance with the Building Regulations, and the duty holder requirements introduced by the Building Safety Act 2022. The position would suit someone with a strong architectural, building surveying, engineering or technical background who can confidently interpret regulatory requirements, lead compliance discussions and provide practical guidance throughout the design and construction lifecycle.

Requirements: · Significant experience, typically seven years or more, in a senior design, technical, building surveying, engineering or project management role. · Practical, in-depth knowledge of the Building Regulations and the dutyholder regime introduced by the Building Safety Act 2022. · Experience taking responsibility for design compliance on complex, multidisciplinary projects. · Demonstrable experience working on Higher-Risk Buildings and an understanding of the Building Safety Regulator Gateway process. · Strong knowledge of relevant Approved Documents, particularly Parts B, M, K and P. · The ability to identify, assess and communicate design and compliance risks clearly and proportionately. · Confidence leading meetings and coordinating clients, designers, contractors and specialist consultants. · Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex regulatory matters clearly. · Strong organisational, leadership and project management skills. · A relevant degree in architecture, building surveying, structural engineering, fire engineering, construction management or a related discipline. · Chartered status with a relevant professional body such as RIBA, RICS, CIOB, CIBSE, ICE or IFE, or equivalent professional recognition. · Formal training or direct experience in the Principal Designer (Building Regulations) role would be advantageous. · Experience using common data environments, digital compliance tools or other digital project delivery systems would be beneficial. · Experience conducting competence assessments, leading teams or mentoring colleagues would be advantageous. Apply: This is an opportunity to join one of the UK’s most established and respected architectural and development consultancies, working alongside experienced designers and technical specialists on a broad range of high-profile projects. · Competitive salary in the region of £50,000 - £70,000. · 23 day holiday + bank holidays + volunteer days. · Pension scheme @ 4.5% employer contribution. · Enhanced maternity & paternity leave. · Hybrid working environment. · Mental Health Support including counselling. · Permanent health insurance up to 50% of salary. · Season ticket loan & cycle to work scheme. · Summer and Christmas parties, away days, sport teams and monthly events. · Genuine long-term career development within an established national consultancy.
