Location – flexible
This role is focused on delivering Principal Designer services under the Building Regulations for medium to large projects. Reporting to the PDBR Lead, you will provide technical oversight across the design phase, ensuring statutory compliance, robust design coordination and effective regulatory risk management.
You will work closely with clients, contractors, Registered Building Control Approvers, local authorities and multidisciplinary design teams. While a sound understanding of CDM 2015 is important, the primary focus is on Building Regulations compliance, design review and supporting delivery within the Building Safety Act framework.
You will play a key role in helping project teams navigate complex compliance requirements from design development through to submission and approval. Your input will improve design quality, reduce regulatory risk and support clear, auditable decision‑making across projects.
This is an opportunity to influence project outcomes, advise clients on statutory duties and contribute technical leadership in a specialist, fast‑evolving area of the built environment.
Applicants must hold at least one of the following: Level 2 Registered Building Control Inspector, Chartered Architect (ARB/RIBA) or Chartered Architectural Technologist (MCIAT). You will bring strong experience in building regulations compliance, design review and project delivery, plus excellent technical reporting and stakeholder communication skills. Multi‑disciplinary consultancy, Welsh regulations, public sector and health and safety qualifications are advantageous.
This role supports flexible and hybrid working, with a mix of office, site and home‑based activity depending on project needs. Travel to project meetings, local authorities and client sites will be required. Office location and expected office attendance can be tailored around the successful candidate and business requirements.
In alignment with the Equality Act 2010, we will make reasonable adjustments to support candidates and employees requiring additional arrangements. This could include adaptations to work schedules, training approaches, or the physical workspace. Please inform us if you need any accommodations during the recruitment process or in your day‑to‑day role.
