This is an exciting opportunity to join our busy and collaborative design office, where no two projects are ever quite the same. Working closely with the Design Office Manager, you'll develop creative and practical design solutions for buildings that have been damaged by fires, floods and subsidence - restoring them safely, cost-effectively and to the highest standards. From producing detailed drawings to obtaining the relevant permissions, you'll play a central role in bringing damaged properties back to life. This is a role that rewards precision, creativity and technical expertise in equal measure. A significant proportion of our work involves listed buildings, so an appreciation of historic and traditional building techniques will serve you well, alongside your core knowledge of designing and specifying sub-structure schemes. You'll draw on your CAD skills daily, balancing engineering rigour with the ingenuity needed to find the most suitable and sustainable outcome for every scheme. We're proud to be forward-thinking in how we work. You'll stay at the forefront of innovative and environmentally sustainable repair solutions, actively helping us develop net zero approaches while sharing your knowledge through the training of colleagues across the wider business. While the role is primarily home-based, offering you genuine flexibility and autonomy, travel to sites will be a regular and rewarding part of the job - giving you the chance to see your designs take shape and monitor schemes first-hand. If you're a confident communicator with first-class attention to detail and a passion for engineering excellence, we'd love to hear from you. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Rich Text Editor for DeepL.com](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1172-developing-the-rich-text-editor-for-deepl-com) - [In-depth .NET Azure Functions: Isolated mode, performance and durable AI agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100207-in-depth-net-azure-functions-isolated-mode-performance-and-durable-ai-agents) - [Fake or News: Translating Dog Barks, Notepad Gets an Upgrade and Michelin-Star Robots - Paul Tregoing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1802-fake-or-news-translating-dog-barks-notepad-gets-an-upgrade-and-michelin-star-robots-paul-tregoing) - [You’re a great coder?
