    • Support the Project Management team, identify design opportunities and risks, and maintain accurate project records.
    • Manage the RFI process, secure building and planning consents, and address design risks.
    • Update the Design Management Plan, engage with Procore, and supervise and mentor design subordinates.

    • Construction industry experience, ideally in architecture with a focus on structures and cladding.
    • Excellent technical knowledge, skilled in AutoCAD and MS Office, with document management and site inspection experience.
    • Degree in a construction-related field, with strong problem-solving, communication, and analytical skills.
    • Flexible, adaptable, and capable of multitasking, with attention to detail and a collaborative, professional approach.
    • Knowledgeable in Scottish & English building regulations, with a UK driving license and access to a business‑insured vehicle preferred.

    Why Join BBP?


    Join a company with 40 years of industry excellence and a strong future pipeline. We offer a competitive salary, a generous pension scheme, income protection, and death in service benefits. Enjoy annual salary reviews, discretionary performance‑based bonuses, and 32 days of holiday with a flexible bank holiday scheme. We actively support professional development and training, and business mileage is reimbursed. Our offices are fully accessible, ensuring an inclusive workplace for all.
