Senior Technical Manager

Location: North-west Midlands (Wolverhampton)

Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 (Experience Dependent) + Competitive Package

Role Type: Permanent

Are you an experienced Technical Coordinator or Engineer looking for a step up? A leading UK Housebuilder is seeking a Senior Technical Manager to join their established regional team in Wolverhampton.

This is a pivotal role managing the technical delivery of two complex residential schemes while providing mentorship to a small team of coordinators. This position sits at a level equivalent to a Senior Engineer or Engineering Manager, reporting directly to the Technical Team Manager.

The Role

• Lead the design development process from inception to completion, ensuring all projects are delivered to the highest standards of safety, quality, and compliance.
• Project Leadership: Take full ownership of two complex development sites.
• Team Supervision: Supervise and support 1-2 junior team members in their daily tasks.
• Design Management: Control the complete design process, managing external consultants and liaising with statutory and local authorities.
• Compliance: Ensure all designs meet current legislation, Building Regulations, NHBC standards, and Planning requirements.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Work collaboratively with internal departments and external partners to drive projects forward proactively.

The Ideal Candidate

• Experience: Minimum of 5 years within the housing industry as an Engineer or Technical Coordinator.
• Technical Knowledge: Excellent working knowledge of Highways, Drainage, Building Regs, and NHBC Standards.
• Mindset: A proactive, "problem-solving" approach to design development and site-based issues.
• Leadership: Ability to mentor junior staff and manage high-pressure, complex projects.
• We are looking for a technical professional with a strong engineering bias. While you may currently be a Technical Coordinator, you must be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the engineering elements of a project rather than just architectural elements.

Benefits & Culture

• Competitive salary up to £70k
• Comprehensive benefits package including car allowance and pension.
• Flexible Working: A culture that values in-person collaboration but supports flexible working arrangements where possible.
