We’re recruiting for an experienced Specification Manager to lead engagement and early-stage design influence within the UK residential construction sector, particularly among house builders, architects, engineers, and offsite manufacturers.
This is a strategic and commercially focused role best suited to someone with a strong understanding of house building, structural systems, and specification-led sales. You’ll act as the bridge between commercial, technical, and product development teams — identifying opportunities, building stakeholder relationships, and ensuring the right solutions are embedded early in design.
With a focus on structural connectors and offsite solutions, you’ll be at the forefront of market insight and product innovation. This is an excellent opportunity for a specification, technical sales, or commercial professional with strong sector knowledge and a passion for value-led design.
Key Responsibilities- Develop and manage long-term relationships with house builders, architects, engineers, and offsite partners.
- Identify and influence early-stage design decisions to embed products and systems into specification.
- Uncover commercial opportunities through frameworks, preferred supplier agreements, and technical partnerships.
- Act as a trusted advisor on innovation, buildability, and technical challenges across floors, roofs, and walls.
- Gather customer-back insights to inform product development and strategic direction.
- Lead structured discovery work to understand user behaviours, pain points, and market gaps.
- Collaborate with product managers to assess, prioritise, and screen new ideas.
- Deliver market intelligence and competitor analysis to support growth plans.
- Represent the business at industry round tables, forums, and research sessions.
- Strong understanding of the residential construction sector, including house building, specification, and structural systems.
- Proven experience influencing specifiers and managing design-stage engagements.
- Excellent communicator with confidence working across stakeholder levels.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to gather insights and translate findings into commercial action.
- Comfortable working remotely and managing a national travel schedule (2–3 days per week).
- Curious, proactive, and highly collaborative approach.
- Background in technical sales, design coordination, product management, or a related field.
- HNC or equivalent in Structural, Civil, or Building Engineering (desirable but not essential).
- Competitive salary and bonus scheme.
- Flexible, field-based role with autonomy.
- Supportive and innovative working environment.
- Clear progression within a respected industry leader.
