Speculative Application – Design Coordinator (Real Estate / Developer)
Orchestrate consultants, de-risk design decisions and keep projects primed for profit.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and community serving architects, developers and the multidisciplinary teams that sit between them. Our developer and asset-management clients rely on Design Coordinators to align architects, engineers and cost consultants; protect programme and budget; and shepherd information through every planning gateway. They brief us first—often before a role is advertised—so we maintain an active shortlist of coordination talent ready to step in.
What our clients typically ask for
4–7 years’ experience coordinating design on residential, mixed-use or commercial schemes for a developer, main contractor or consultancy
Working knowledge of RIBA stages 2-4, planning submissions and value-engineering cycles, with the confidence to interrogate drawings and specifications
Proven ability to chair design-team meetings, track action lists and drive consultant deliverables to programme
Familiarity with BIM-enabled workflows (Revit, Navisworks) and common-data environments such as BIM 360, Asite or Aconex
A grasp of cost, procurement and buildability issues—able to translate QS feedback, site constraints and client brief into practical design adjustments
Clear communication and record-keeping skills that keep directors, funders and site teams reliably informed
Why Register With Architecture Social
Early access to opportunities is standard—developers brief us before coordination roles hit the open market. We align your sector strengths, software skills and growth goals with the right environment, then support you with salary benchmarks, CV feedback and a discreet recruitment process that keeps you in control. Inside the Architecture Social platform you can also join peer forums, attend delivery-focused webinars and tap into practical career tools.
