Are you ready for a career-defining opportunity?

Then we'd love to hear from you!

We're Hiring Now

Laing O'Rourke is recruiting Design Managers and Senior Design Managers from an Architectural & Electrical background to deliver some of the most ambitious and technically complex healthcare projects in the UK — including:

  • Monklands Replacement Project (Scotland) – the largest healthcare infrastructure project in the UK
  • Brighton 3Ts – a key regional redevelopment
  • Other major healthcare schemes at bid stage

The Opportunity:

You'll take a lead role in managing design for a major project, ensuring coordination across client, design, commercial and operations teams. From early-stage design through to delivery, you'll drive compliance, innovation, and collaboration across every stage of the process.

You'll be part of our Engineering Enterprise – a community of design professionals dedicated to raising the bar for performance, technical assurance, and certainty on every project.

What You'll Do

  • Lead pre-construction briefing and design delivery
  • Oversee design management procedures across the full lifecycle
  • Collaborate with internal and external teams to challenge and optimise the design
  • Ensure all design outputs meet programme, compliance, and buildability standards
  • Support the Design Leader in embedding innovation and best practice

What We're Looking For

  • Experience managing design from concept through to handover
  • Degree-qualified in Architecture or Electrical Engineering or related discipline
  • Strong knowledge of HTMs and healthcare-specific compliance
  • Experience working on complex or regulated environments (e.g. hospitals, labs)
  • We also welcome transferable skills and a growth mindset

About Laing O'Rourke

We are a global engineering and construction leader, delivering state-of-the-art buildings and infrastructure across the UK, Middle East, and Australia. With 150+ years of experience, we're known for our commitment to certainty, quality and innovation.
