CDM/PD

Location: Epping or London (Hybrid Working)
Salary: £40,000 – £45,000 + Benefits
Sector: Construction Consultancy / CDM / Health & Safety

Carriera is delighted to be partnering with a well-established property and construction consultancy that is looking to bring a developing CDM / Principal Designer into its team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who has already built a foundation within the construction or design industry and is now ready to specialise in CDM and Principal Design.

You may currently be working in an architectural, design coordination, building surveying or junior health and safety position, with some exposure to CDM and design risk management. You're now looking for a role where you can put that experience into practice, work alongside established industry professionals and take the next step in your career.

The business offers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across a varied project portfolio, develop client-facing skills and progress towards taking responsibility for your own CDM / Principal Designer projects.

The Opportunity

Joining an established consultancy team, you will work alongside experienced CDM and Principal Design professionals, gaining exposure to the full project lifecycle and developing your understanding of the Principal Designer role.

The position will involve:

• Supporting the delivery of CDM Consultant and Principal Designer services across a range of construction projects.

• Reviewing architectural drawings and design information to identify potential health and safety risks.

• Assisting with design risk assessments and the coordination of design team information.

• Contributing to Pre-Construction Information (PCI) and Health & Safety Files.

• Liaising with architects, engineers, contractors and other design professionals.

• Attending design team meetings and developing relationships with clients.

• Advising on the practical application of CDM Regulations 2015.

• Supporting site visits and project reviews where required.

• Gradually taking ownership of project responsibilities as your technical knowledge and confidence develop.

What We're Looking For

This isn't an assistant or entry-level opportunity. We're looking for someone who has already gained some relevant industry experience and is ready to step up into a more specialist role.

You could be:

• A Junior CDM Consultant looking to progress.

• An Architectural Technologist with an interest in design safety.

• A Design Coordinator looking to move into Principal Design.

• A Building Surveyor with some CDM exposure.

• A construction or health and safety professional looking to develop a career in CDM.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Approximately two years' experience within construction, design or a related consultancy environment.

• Some understanding of CDM Regulations 2015 and construction health and safety.

• An appreciation of design risk management and the importance of considering safety throughout the design process.

• Good communication skills and the confidence to engage with different project stakeholders.

• A proactive attitude and genuine interest in developing within the CDM / Principal Designer discipline.

• A relevant construction, architectural or health and safety qualification.

APS or IOSH membership would be beneficial, although professional development and progression will be supported.

The Package

• Salary of £40,000 – £45,000, depending on experience.

• Hybrid working.

• Choice of Epping or London office.

• Exposure to a diverse range of construction projects.

• Support and mentoring from experienced Principal Designers.

• Opportunity to develop your technical knowledge and professional qualifications.

• Genuine career progression within an established consultancy.

Interested?

If you're currently working in construction, architecture or design and feel you're ready to move into a dedicated CDM / Principal Designer role, I'd be keen to speak with you.

This is an opportunity to make that transition without starting from scratch, bringing your existing industry knowledge into a specialist area with plenty of scope to develop.
