Delivering schools and public buildings to DfE standards, tight budgets and demanding programmes requires Technical Managers who bring both sector expertise and the authority to maintain quality under pressure.

At Architecture Social, we partner with education-specialist architecture practices, local authority delivery teams and multidisciplinary consultancies working on new-build schools, academy refurbishments, university buildings and community facilities. Our clients consistently brief us on their need for senior Technical Managers who can lead technical teams, navigate education sector regulations and ensure every project meets both performance standards and architectural ambition. We keep active shortlists so that when these leadership positions arise, the strongest candidates are introduced immediately.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For:

• Technical Managers experienced in leading technical design teams working on new-build and refurbishment school projects
• Professionals with detailed understanding of BB103, DfE Output Specifications, area schedule requirements and acoustic performance standards for schools
• Candidates confident leading technical coordination with structural and building services engineers on education sector buildings
• Managers who review fire strategies, means of escape designs and Part B compliance with authority and thoroughness
• Individuals experienced in managing building control submissions and ensuring timely approvals on programme-driven projects
• Professionals who direct the preparation of specifications, schedules and technical reports to the highest standard
• Chartered architects with experience in CIF, PSBP or local authority framework procurement routes and a strong commitment to design quality in public buildings
