This role is ideally suited to someone with experience designing or coordinating timber fire door systems, interpreting Field of Applications / EXAPs, and working closely with architects, specifiers, and project teams.

About the Role

As a Design Coordinator, you will act as a vital technical link within the sales team, ensuring all project requirements are captured accurately and translated into fully compliant door system designs.

Key Responsibilities

Project & Design Coordination

  • Manage incoming enquiries, reviewing drawings, surveys, schedules, and tender packs to design fully compliant timber door systems.
  • Produce complete door schedules, specifications, and detailed drawings, ensuring all documentation is recorded within the drawing register.
  • Develop project designs in line with client expectations, industry standards, Field of Application guidance, EXAPs, and relevant product listings.
  • Create organised file structures, download required information, and request missing documentation when needed.

  • Work closely with design professionals, architects, specifiers, contractors, and project managers to fully understand project requirements.
  • Consult with clients on any required variations when project needs fall outside of permitted scope.
  • Coordinate with internal departments to ensure the timely and accurate delivery of project designs.

Additional Duties

  • Participate in cross‑functional innovation forums to support new product development and continuous improvement.
  • Travel across the UK as required — including visits to head office locations — and occasional international travel for training or trade events.
  • Support broader business initiatives through strong technical understanding and proactive project involvement.

Candidate Requirements

To succeed in this role, you will ideally have:

  • Minimum 3 years’ experience in design coordination within the timber fire door sector.
  • Strong ability to interpret Field of Applications (FoAs), EXAPs, and product listings.
  • Experience producing accurate schedules and estimates (desirable).
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD or similar CAD tools.
