About the Role
Join a forward-thinking home builder's expanding timber-frame division focused on sustainable, high-quality off-site manufactured timber-framed homes. You'll play a key role in delivering accurate, buildable timber frame designs that drive both manufacturing and site installation teams.
As a Timber Frame Designer, your work will be central to the production process - transforming architectural and structural inputs into detailed design outputs that support efficient timber frame manufacture and on-site construction.
The Role
Produce precise timber frame design drawings and construction information for manufacturing and site teams.
Interpret architectural and engineering information to create accurate panel, joist and roof truss designs.
Supply clear design data to planning and scheduling teams to support efficient production programmes.
Ensure designs align with technical standards, building regulations and warranty requirements (e.g., NHBC).
Collaborate closely with internal teams - engineering, production, site management - to resolve technical queries and maintain momentum.
Produce schedules, cutting lists, and detailed design outputs to support manufacturing and delivery.
About You
Proven experience in timber frame detailing and design, ideally within residential or off-site construction.
Proficiency with Autodesk platforms (Revit, AutoCAD) or equivalent design software.
Strong understanding of UK Building Regulations and structural principles relevant to timber frame systems.
Excellent attention to detail and ability to work to deadlines in a dynamic production environment.
Effective communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with cross-functional teams.
Why Join
Be at the heart of a growing timber frame operation supporting modern, sustainable housing solutions.
Work with advanced design tools and industry-leading design standards.
Opportunities for career growth, professional development, and a supportive work culture.
Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
