About the Role

The Oak Facades division specialises in the design, supply, and installation of façade systems — including glazing, curtain walling, rain-screen cladding, composite, and steel-frame systems. The division delivers new-build façades, retrofit upgrades, cladding remediation, and fire protection solutions on complex UK projects.

Role Overview

As a Façade Designer, you will lead the technical and design activities for high-profile façade projects, working within a growing specialist team. You will coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, and suppliers to produce compliant, buildable designs that align with contract specifications, regulatory standards, and client expectations.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the end-to-end design process (from early concept to construction-ready output), ensuring commercial, contractual, and time requirements are met.

• Develop and produce detailed 2D drawings, Revit models, fabrication schematics, and procurement schedules.

• Prepare technical submittals, review engineering calculations, and ensure compliance with specifications and statutory requirements.

• Coordinate with clients, contractors, and third-party engineers to resolve design issues and submit approved drawings.

• Monitor and document design changes or variations through the project lifecycle.

• Ensure compliance with CWCT, Building Regulations, British Standards and other industry standards.

• Liaise with the commercial team on design-related variations and cost implications.
