CDM Principal Designer

CDM Principal Designer – Midlands or London | £50,000-£65,000

• Senior CDM specialist role with a long-established UK architectural practice.
• Choice of three office bases: Leicester, Birmingham or London.
• Multi-sector project portfolio. Plenty of variety, no shortage of scale.
• Real ownership: lead CDM compliance across the practice’s pipeline.

We’re recruiting for an experienced CDM Principal Designer to join a long-established UK architectural practice. You’d be based in one of three offices (Leicester, Birmingham or London), with hybrid flexibility, leading on health and safety compliance across a steady pipeline of projects.

The work cuts across a broad sector mix: industrial, commercial, healthcare, education, residential, retail and mixed-use, and others. So no shortage of variety.

You’d act as Principal Designer under CDM 2015, planning and coordinating health and safety through the pre-construction phase, managing design risk, and advising clients on their statutory duties.

Here’s what you’d get from the role:

• A senior position with ownership of CDM across a multi-sector portfolio.
• Hybrid working: up to two days a week from home.
• A solid benefits package: 34 days holiday, pension, death in service, and permanent health insurance.
• Performance reviews three times a year – progression conversations happen often, not annually.
• Choice of where to base yourself across the three city offices.

You’ll be a good fit for the CDM Principal Designer role if you:

• Have previous experience in CDM, health and safety, or design within construction.
• Hold a NEBOSH Construction Certificate (or equivalent).
• Know the CDM 2015 Regulations inside out.
• Are confident challenging design decisions to drive safer outcomes.
• Ideally hold APS or IOSH membership (or are working towards it).

If this sounds like you, drop me a line for more information.
