Head of Technical | Developer | North East

Reporting to the Regional Managing Director, this role is central to ensuring that schemes progress efficiently from the estimating and design stages through to a successful physical start on site. You will oversee the entire technical lifecycle, ensuring that design information is accurate, compliant, and delivered in line with programme expectations.

You will be responsible for driving the technical strategy for each development, ensuring that projects move forward in a timely manner while meeting all pre‑start requirements. You will take the lead on value engineering, design coordination and the technical evaluation of schemes, while ensuring planning and building control issues are fully addressed. Your ability to work closely with internal teams, consultants and clients will be critical, as will your capacity to manage information flow effectively across all stakeholders.

You will bring experience in multi‑tenure or contracting environments along with a strong command of design, construction methods, planning processes, procurement and relevant legislation. A detailed understanding of health and safety responsibilities is essential, as is a commitment to upholding equality and diversity within the workplace. You should be confident working with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Project and Outlook. Above all, you will have the leadership presence needed to inspire your team and the technical expertise required to deliver high‑quality, cost‑effective design solutions.

This is an opportunity to make a significant impact within a forward‑thinking organisation that prioritises quality, collaboration and continuous improvement. If you are passionate about leading technical excellence and want to contribute to the success of major development projects, we would be delighted to hear from you.
