Design Manager – Luxury Hotel Fit-Out
St Andrews, Fife | Temporary
£350–£400 per day
I’m working with a respected fit-out contractor on a 60 room hotel project in St Andrews, and they need an experienced Design Manager to lead the design process from pre-construction through to delivery.
The project is currently in PCSA, with a start on site planned for May 2027. It’s a great chance to get involved early, shape the design from the outset and see it through to handover on a high-profile hospitality scheme in one of Scotland’s most iconic locations.
What you’ll be doing:
- Taking ownership of design management across the project, working closely with the client, architect, interior designer and consultant team during PCSA
- Coordinating design information and managing the design programme
- Driving value engineering and buildability reviews
- Making sure packages are issued on time to support procurement
- Managing the flow of information to the delivery team and specialist contractors once on site
- Resolving design queries quickly and keeping a firm grip on change
What’s on offer:
- £350–£400 per day
- The chance to get involved at PCSA and shape the design from the start
- A 60 room luxury hotel scheme in one of Scotland’s most iconic locations
- Working with a respected fit-out contractor, with the client keen to build a team close to the project
Requirements:
- Strong background in hotel or high-end hospitality fit-out
- Experience of PCSA or two stage tender projects ideally
- Confident managing multiple stakeholders
- Comfortable with MEP coordination and FF&E interfaces
- Able to bring structure to a busy design process
- Based in Scotland (essential, as the client wants a team close to the project)
If you’re a Design Manager based in Scotland with hospitality fit-out under your belt, this one’s worth a chat.
