Technical Manager

The Role

We’re looking for a seasoned and driven Technical Manager to lead the design team on the regeneration of Bacton Estate Phase 2. A flagship scheme based in the heart of North London. A minute's walk from the luxurious and quaint Hampstead Heath and only a mile from the famous Camden Market. Currently in preconstruction, this project will deliver 460 new homes once completed, along with communal areas, gym, and 24hr concierge. Starting on site on Summer 2027, this is a unique opportunity for someone to lead the design on a landmark project right from the very beginning, taking it through Gateway 2 submission, appointing the team and managing the design team through the build process, to deliver another amazing development in London.

You’ll have experience in, leading and managing all design elements of a large RC frame residential project from start to finish, and have been involved in RIBA Stages 3-6. You will be key in appointing a principal designer, appointing design consultants, whilst coordinating with our commercial team, recruiting a technical team, chairing design team meetings, leading the design team to through our gateway 2 submission in July 2027, project set up and then delivering this development.

Ours is a high-performance culture. High performance in this role is having excellent attention to detail, demonstrating precision in applying technical requirements and taking pride in your work. You’ll ensure that robust QA procedures are in place. Highly motivated and proactive, you will drive the design process while leading and supporting your teammates to achieve shared goals. You will have a proven track record of successfully delivering schemes on site to achieve CMLs. As a self-motivated and hardworking leader, you’ll be ready to take on a fresh new challenge.

This is a culture where you’ll be giving and getting feedback from day one, because we think it’s the fastest way to learn and to build trust. We want to be challenged by you, too – we hate unnecessary hierarchy and “my way or the highway” has no place here. So, if you’re interested in working on a new flagship scheme apply now!

Mount Anvil

What we do: We’ve worked in partnership for 31 years to create outstanding places in London. We’re growing, with our construction turnover doubling, and with a pipeline of new projects where we’re raring to get started and make a difference.

Why we’re here: We’re here to pursue better, differently.

Better: One of The Sunday Times’ “100 Best Small Companies to Work For” for over a decade, winner of multiple Pride In The Job and WhatHouse awards for our people and the quality of our homes, and proud to have the nation’s best site in our ranks (winning the highest possible marks across the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s five areas – the first site ever to do so in 22 years of the CCS).

Differently: Our culture is unusual. Different means more transparent with information. More direct with feedback that helps us all grow. More rigorous about setting goals, then giving more freedom to go and achieve them. It’s definitely not for everyone. We don’t hire know-it-alls, we hire “learn-it-alls”. As our CEO, Killian, says: “We work hard to find people who thrive on context and responsibility, rather than rules and procedures. We then work like owner managers, not a leader and a load of helpers.”

Benefits:

Private medical insurance for you and your family through Vitality (including discounts on spa breaks, cinema tickets and your food shopping, free Starbucks, 50% off Virgin Active Membership and more).

Income Protection Insurance to help you cope financially if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, Life Assurance equivalent to four times your salary, your annual leave & Bank Holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and workplace nursery salary sacrifice, allowing you to save tax and NI on monthly nursery fees.

We think the best benefit of being here is the learning culture and the ability to make a real difference – we dislike hierarchy and politics, and “not my job” isn’t in our vernacular. Which means if you really care about raising the bar and really want to feel connected to the end product, as opposed to like a cog in a big machine, this could be the place for you to grow your career.
