Assistant Design Manager in Banbury

Assistant Design Manager (Oxfordshire / Multi-Sector)

Salary: Up to £45,000 + package

The Role:

This isn’t your desk-bound design job. As an Assistant Design Manager, you’ll sit at the heart of a multi-disciplinary construction business, helping shape projects from concept through to completion. The work spans commercial, education, healthcare, conservation, and residential sectors – and we’re looking for someone who cares deeply about design and delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supporting the design management team through technical and architectural coordination
• Working closely with site teams, contractors, and consultants to ensure design intent is realised
• Helping to drive sustainable design solutions (low carbon, long life, low waste) – because that’s how we think at this company
• Producing and reviewing design drawings, drawings schedules, and information packs
• Managing design risk and design-related contractual obligations

Who You Are:

• You’ve worked in design, architecture, or a similar role (or have a relevant qualification) and want to move into construction delivery
• Highly organised, detail-focused, and confident liaising with both design and construction teams
• A problem solver – you enjoy turning design challenges into practical, buildable solutions
• Passionate about collaboration: this isn’t solo architect work – it’s team-based, cross-discipline, and employee-owned

Why This Role?

• You’ll work on a wide range of high-profile, meaningful projects – from labs and schools to conservation jobs, stretch your design muscles.
• A culture that values sustainability, long-term vision, and doing things properly – not cutting corners.
• Real development opportunities: grow into a design lead or site-lead role, with internal training and mentorship
