Technical Coordinator

What You’ll Be Doing?

The Design and Technical teams are involved in all aspects of housing design and innovation. This team is also responsible for researching the best materials at the best cost.

In terms of design, there’s the sheer variety of our sites, many of them using existing buildings, and all of them with unique problems to solve. There’s also the question of new materials and our drive for sustainability and value, all in the face of ever‑changing building and environmental legislation.

Most of the people in this team have an architectural or engineering background, and for all, we offer the opportunity to gain expertise in design and project management in a thought‑provoking setting.
