The Opportunity

I am working exclusively on behalf of a leading London-based luxury fit out and refurbishment contractor, who specialise in delivering some of the capital's most prestigious and design-led projects.

They are seeking an experienced Design Manager to take ownership of Phase 3 of a landmark scheme - the fit out of four ultra-luxury penthouse suites and a high-end restaurant, completed to palace standards.

Two of the penthouses are situated within a newly built structure, while two sit within a heritage refurbishment, offering a rare opportunity to combine contemporary design detail with traditional craftsmanship.

This is a confidential, high-profile appointment offering the chance to play a pivotal role in delivering one of London's most iconic interiors.

The Role

As Design Manager, you'll be responsible for leading and coordinating all design and technical elements throughout this final, high-value phase. You will manage the interface between architects, consultants, specialist subcontractors, and the client's design team to ensure flawless quality, coordination, and delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Oversee design coordination across all disciplines and specialist trades.
  • Lead technical design reviews, ensuring buildability and aesthetic integrity.
  • Manage design information flow to align with programme and procurement.
  • Liaise directly with the client's design, architectural, and project teams.
  • Resolve complex detailing, finishes, and MEP integration issues.
  • Maintain quality, compliance, and design intent throughout delivery.
  • Support value engineering and innovation without compromising on standards.
  • Oversee and mentor design coordinators and consultants where required.

About You

This opportunity suits an experienced Design Manager with a strong background in luxury fit out, refurbishment, or high-end hospitality projects.

Key Skills & Experience:

  • Previous experience as a Design Manager or Senior Design Coordinator with a main or specialist contractor.
  • Proven delivery on high-end hotel, super-prime residential, or palace/royal-standard projects.
  • Strong technical understanding of interior detailing, joinery, finishes, and MEP coordination.
  • Confident communicator with the ability to engage senior stakeholders and design teams.
  • Highly organised, methodical, and calm under pressure.
  • Passionate about design excellence, craftsmanship, and precision.

What's on Offer

  • Salary: circa £70,000 + package (depending on experience).
  • Opportunity to deliver a world-class, design-led project of international prestige.
  • Work with an award-winning high-end fit out contractor known for exceptional quality.
  • Be part of a highly skilled, collaborative team delivering to the very highest standards.
  • Central London location with exposure to some of the most exquisite interiors in the UK.

Eden Brown is committed to equality in the workplace and is an equal opportunity employer.
