A well-established specialist fa-ade contractor is looking for a Fa-ade Design Engineer to join its design team, with genuine flexibility built into how you work.

You'll work from home almost all the time and come into the North London office just once a fortnight. That gives you the work-life balance most design roles can't offer, without stepping away from top-tier projects.

The business delivers high-quality building envelope packages for leading Tier 1 main contractors on prestigious commercial, residential and mixed-use schemes. These are technically demanding fa-ades on buildings people notice, and the design team is central to everything the business does.

Salary is based on the value and experience you bring. There's real flexibility, up to -95,000, for the right person.

• Managing design programmes, RFIs, technical submittals and approvals
• Supporting testing, mock-ups, procurement and site teams through delivery
• At senior level, mentoring and checking the work of junior designers

What you'll need

• Fa-ade design experience is essential. This could come from a specialist fa-ade contractor, a system supplier or a fa-ade consultancy.
• A stable CV is essential. You'll need to show solid tenure and commitment with previous employers.
• A strong technical knowledge of curtain walling, unitised systems, rainscreen and glazing
• A good understanding of fire, thermal, acoustic and weathertightness performance

• Experience coordinating with architects and Tier 1 main contractors on large or complex schemes
• The self-discipline to work productively from home
• Able to reach North London once a fortnight
• A degree or HNC in a relevant engineering or architectural discipline

The package

• Up to -95,000, depending on experience and the value you bring
• Remote-first working, with only one office day every two weeks
• Car or car allowance, bonus, pension, healthcare and holiday
• Ongoing professional development and clear progression
