ABOUT BRISK GROUP

Brisk Group is a specialist design management and project management consultancy. The UK team works alongside leading architects, engineers, and specialists, delivering large-scale, complex projects across infrastructure, masterplanning, and mixed-use development.

It's a flat, flexible business - one where your ideas are heard and your career moves at the pace you set.

THE ROLE

This is a delivery-focused role at the heart of multi-disciplinary project teams. You'll manage design programmes and information deliverables across multiple project stages, coordinate between architects, engineers, and specialist consultants, and keep complex projects moving without losing precision.

• Develop and maintain design management plans, risk registers, and design responsibility matrices
• Oversee BIM processes including Common Data Environments, clash detection, and BIM Execution Plans
• Chair and attend design review meetings and client workshops, presenting complex information clearly
• Identify design clashes and coordination gaps early, and facilitate resolution without losing programme momentum
• Support bids, proposals, and client relationship building as part of the wider team effort

Essential:

• A degree in Architecture, Engineering, Design Management, Project Management, or a related discipline
• 5 to 10 years of experience in design management or senior design coordination, including large-scale infrastructure or masterplan projects
• Proven ability to coordinate multi-disciplinary teams across architecture, structure, MEP, and specialist workstreams
• Working knowledge of BIM processes and ISO 19650 standards, including CDE management and BIM Execution Plans
• Experience managing design programmes across RIBA stages or equivalent international frameworks
