Construction Innovation Design Manager (DfMA)

Location: Technology & Innovation Group, Dartford

The Technology & Innovation (T&I) Group sits at the centre of the Laing O'Rourke group of companies and is a key driver of the transformation of construction. T&I is a highly ambitious, multidisciplinary team bringing together engineering, manufacturing, digital, product development and systems thinking to create the next generation of construction products and delivery models.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Product Development Design Manager (DfMA) to join the Technology & Innovation team.

This role focuses on leading the development of industrialised construction products, configurable building systems and digitally enabled delivery workflows across a range of DfMA initiatives. You will coordinate multidisciplinary teams spanning engineering, digital, manufacturing and project delivery to transform traditional construction packages into scalable product platforms.

The role combines product development, design management, digital workflows and manufacturing integration, supporting innovation projects from concept development through prototyping, manufacturing implementation and live project deployment.

In this role, you will:

Lead development of industrialised construction products and systems.
Coordinate multidisciplinary product development and technical delivery teams.
Support BIM-to-manufacturing and design automation workflows.
Help transform project-based construction into scalable platform-based delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Are you an innovator who wants to help shape how buildings are designed and delivered?
This role focuses on driving DfMA-led product development—moving from one-off design to scalable, repeatable systems.

Product Development & DfMA

Lead the development of standardised products, assemblies, and configurable building systems
Define technical requirements and guide designs from concept through to delivery
Champion DfMA principles and help embed them into everyday workflows
Support the shift toward productised, platform-based delivery

Design Management & Coordination
Do you thrive in complex, multidisciplinary environments?

Coordinate across engineering, digital, and manufacturing teams
Manage design programmes, deliverables, and key technical reviews
Oversee system interfaces to ensure seamless integration
Support prototyping, testing, and real-world implementation on projects

Digital & BIM Workflows
Excited by digital innovation and automation?

Support BIM-enabled workflows and digital delivery approaches
Contribute to BIM-to-CAM integration and design automation
Help develop connected workflows from design through to manufacture and installation

Manufacturing Integration
Can you bridge the gap between design and production?

Collaborate with manufacturing teams to optimise designs for fabrication and assembly
Support production strategies, logistics planning, and assembly methodologies
Engage with suppliers and specialist partners to deliver practical, buildable solutions

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

Contribute to innovation programmes and new delivery models
Identify opportunities for standardisation, automation, and smarter ways of working
Promote knowledge sharing and systems thinking across teams

What We're Looking For

Do you have the experience and mindset to drive change?

Essential:

Background in design management, product development, or technical delivery (construction or manufacturing)
Strong understanding of DfMA and industrialised construction
Experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams
Working knowledge of BIM and digital design workflows
Understanding of fabrication, manufacturing, or assembly processes
Strong communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills
Degree in Architecture, Engineering, Product Design, or similar

Desirable:

Experience with modular, off-site, MEP, façade, or precast systems
Exposure to BIM-to-CAM or digital manufacturing
Knowledge of computational or parametric design
Experience with product platforms, configurators, or automation tools
Collaboration with manufacturing or production engineering teams
