- Coordinate with surveyors, consultants and contractors where required.
- Support junior team members and contribute to knowledge sharing within the technical design team.

1. New Build & Net Zero Support

- Support the technical development of new-build projects targeting high energy performance and Net Zero Carbon outcomes.




- Develop technical information in accordance with the project requirements and relevant RIBA Stage.
- Support the integration of fabric-first principles and energy efficiency measures into technical design.
- Assist with the coordination of whole-life carbon and building performance requirements where these form part of the project scope.
- Develop and coordinate technical information through the relevant RIBA project stages under the direction of the project Architect.

1. Documentation & Information Management

- Prepare and maintain drawings, specifications, schedules and technical documentation within DSL's agreed filing and information management systems.
- Maintain accurate records of revisions, design decisions and technical queries.
- Ensure information is issued using agreed naming, revision and transmittal procedures.
- Support the team in maintaining accurate project trackers and design registers.
