I have worked with this client for many years and, although I appreciate I may be slightly biased as they are one of my favourite clients, I can honestly say that in 17 years in recruitment, they are one of the genuinely best businesses I have come across.
Specialising in drylining, partitions and ceilings, they work with some of the UK's leading Tier One main contractors and have built an excellent reputation within the industry. The Managing Director is a legend and a very well-respected in construction.
What really sets this business apart, however, is how they look after their people. They offer genuine flexibility, including working from home, a fantastic team environment and a 10% annual bonus, which has been paid every year since the company's inception. The bonus is linked to company performance in quality rather than simply profitability.
The business has always delivered Design & Build projects within drylining, outsourcing the specialist technical design element to design consultancies.
However, they are now bringing this expertise in-house and investing in the development of their own technical design team. Last year, they appointed an experienced Design Manager with a solid background in technical drylining design. He has since been managing Design & Build projects for key clients, alongside overseeing an established external supply chain of specialist technical designers and BIM Coordinators.
They always wanted design to be in house and they are deliberately doing this in a measured way so this is the next step and you will be a crucial hire.
This is a genuine opportunity, to join a business at an early stage of its in-house design journey. You will have the chance to become a key member of the team, contribute to its development and play a big part in shaping the future of the department.
You will need to be confident producing technical drawings using AutoCAD and, as a minimum, comfortable navigating your way around Revit.
You will also have a solid technical understanding of how drylining systems are actually constructed on site. You need to understand the buildability behind drawings, allowing you to produce and interpret detailed construction drawings and work closely with the wider project teams.
If you are a technically minded drylining designer looking for a business where you can develop, and be part of something growing, this is an opportunity well worth exploring
