  • Commercial office spaces created on the 2nd and 3rd floors (and possible additional new build 4th floor) of the Town Hall to enhance the local economy and employment opportunities, delivered to a CAT A finish
  • Space for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to be provided in the basement, delivered to a CAT A finish
  • A major investment in building infrastructure to ensure the long-term future of the Town Hall as the Council's main democratic and civic space
  • Long term income generated by the commercialisation of the Camden Centre and identified offices spaces to support the initial investment


Accountabilities:

  • Ensure all design information is delivered to the project team to meet the project programme and project cost plan.
  • Ensure all design information is buildable in a safe manner and is of a quality matching the project design stage,
  • Ensure the design information meets the Contractor's Proposals, Employer's Requirements or brief. Identify and schedule any deviations.
  • Add value to the project through sensible and practical Value Engineering, seeking alternative options in design whilst maintaining the essence and quality of the design through all stages of the design process.
  • Drive the supply chain management of the finished product through leading, motivating and managing the external consultants.
  • Define the scope of services of each Design Team consultant through the use of a Design Responsibility Matrix, maintaining this through engagement of Contractor Design Portions.
  • Review the Project BIM Execution Plan, working closely with the BIM Manager to support the team and ensure delivery in line with this.


Dimensions (skills, experience and capabilities):

  • Registered and construction industry professional, eg: Registered Architect or Chartered Engineer
  • A minimum of 10 years working experience within the construction industry post qualification
  • Ability to lead an external design team
  • Ability to become a trusted and valued member of a site based team
