 Overview:

We are seeking a highly experienced CDM Principal Designer to lead CDM 2015 compliance across three concurrent industrial installation projects.

• Coordinate with multiple stakeholders to ensure utilities integration and site-wide safety compliance.
• Lead the preparation and collation of the Health and Safety File, ensuring it is comprehensive and future-proof.
• Manage and communicate Pre-Construction Information (PCI) and residual risks to the Client and Principal Contractor.
• Ensure seamless interface between PD and PC roles, maintaining clear communication and documentation flow.
• Rapidly assimilate existing documentation and project structures to avoid delays or disruption.

Requirements:

• Proven experience as a CDM Principal Designer under CDM 2015 on comparable industrial or manufacturing projects.
• Strong understanding of health and safety legislation, risk elimination, and control in pre-construction phases.
• Ability to work across multiple projects simultaneously, with a focus on regulatory oversight and documentation.
• Familiarity with industrial installations, including machinery, civils, structural, and M&E systems (for compliance review only).
• Excellent communication and coordination skills with designers, contractors, and client teams.

This is a unique opportunity for a CDM Principal Designer to make a significant impact on high-profile industrial installations. If you are a detail-oriented professional with a passion for regulatory compliance, we encourage you to apply.
