In design-build, the Design Manager is the reason the bid price holds up once the job is on site. Our client is a design-build contractor in the Greater Toronto Area. They’re coming off a run of major public infrastructure awards and are building a healthcare group to match Ontario’s hospital program, which is close to $60 billion over the next decade. They want a Design Manager who has already done this work in a mature healthcare market.
Duties include but are not limited to:
You manage design development and coordination on major healthcare projects, from pursuit through construction
You work with the bid team from day one, so the design you priced is the design you deliver
You lead the architects, engineers and specialist consultants, and you hold them to the schedule and the cost plan
You turn clinical and user-group requirements into decisions the site can build
You’re based in the GTA within a growing design-build group, with relocation fully supported
About YouThe successful candidate will have the following:
You’ve been a Design Manager or Senior Design Manager on UK or Irish healthcare work at a Tier 1 contractor
You know HTM/HBN in practice, not just in the spec, and you’ve managed clinical sign-off without losing months to it
You’ve run design through the RIBA stages on a design-and-build contract and protected the contractor’s position while doing it
You’ve seen what happens when design management sits too far from the bid, and you’d rather sit next to it
About the Job
Early involvement on every pursuit, so you’re not inheriting a design someone else priced
A decade of hospital pipeline in a market that’s only getting started
Relocation, immigration support and a full family transition, plus a newcomer program that helps you get settled with housing, schools, health coverage and banking
Toronto living: lake country summers, four real seasons and one of the most diverse cities in the world
A competitive base plus bonus, discussed on the first call
