Protect the people who build and use some of the UK's most complex and sensitive facilities — from hospitals to transport networks.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connecting CDM Principal Designers with healthcare specialists, infrastructure consultancies, and large-scale public-sector design teams across the UK. Projects in these sectors carry heightened risk profiles and stringent regulatory requirements, making the Principal Designer role critical to project success. We work with firms delivering NHS hospitals, mental health facilities, rail stations, highways, and utilities infrastructure, and we are regularly briefed on senior CDM roles before they appear on the open market.

What our clients typically ask for
• Significant experience as CDM Principal Designer on healthcare, infrastructure, or public-sector projects
• Deep knowledge of CDM 2015 regulations and their application to complex, multi-phase programmes
• Ability to manage design risk across multiple disciplines including architecture, structural, M&E, and civil engineering
• Experience coordinating pre-construction health and safety information across large project teams
• Familiarity with healthcare-specific safety standards and infrastructure regulatory frameworks
• Relevant qualifications such as NEBOSH Construction Certificate, IOSH, or APS membership
• Strong documentation and reporting skills for design hazard registers, safety files, and compliance audits

If your expertise in safety-by-design protects both the workforce and the end users of the UK's most critical facilities, we want to hear from you.
