The Role
We are working with a specialist technical consultancy delivering sports surfaces, field-of-play and civil infrastructure projects across the UK and internationally.
They are seeking a hands-on Design Lead with a strong Civil Engineering background and advanced Revit capability to lead the production and coordination of detailed design information for complex sports and infrastructure schemes.
This is a technical, model-led role — ideal for a senior Revit-proficient CAD / BIM professional who wants ownership of design delivery rather than a purely managerial position.

Ensure designs are technically robust, buildable, and compliant with relevant standards.
Provide technical input during tender, construction, and site phases.

Act as the technical design interface with project managers, engineers, and contractors.
Support design programming and information delivery planning.
Mentor junior CAD / Revit technicians and engineers.
