Design Coordination Manager Facade

About the Role

Guildhall is recruiting a Design Coordination Manager for a specialist facade contractor delivering building envelopes on commercial and residential towers across the UAE. You will own facade design coordination on a live project, sitting between architects, consultants and the back-office design team to keep design moving ahead of programme and cost. This is a project-office seat on an active build, not a function to set up from scratch, so the client needs someone who can start running coordination meetings from week one. It is a rare individual-contributor seat with real coordination authority, rather than a department-head role.

The role

• Own facade design coordination on a live tower project in Dubai
• Run coordination meetings with architects and consultants directly
• Interface with trades whose works touch the facade package
• Brief the back-office design team on architect and consultant requirements
• Flag design activities with programme or commercial implications early
• Direct a BIM team's output without modelling the drawings yourself

Desired Candidate Profile

• At least 5 years facade design experience
• Track record independently managing project design, not just supporting it
• Experience on office and residential building projects
• Practical working knowledge of BIM software
• Degree in Civil or Mechanical Engineering
• Confidence running coordination meetings with architects and consultants
