One of my long-term relationship contractor clients has identified the need for a full-time Design Manager with steelwork experience. This may well suit a current Design Manager seeking a new challenge or a Senior Draughtsman looking to progress their career within the steelwork arena. With a healthy order book throughout this year into 2026, now is a good time to join a recognised Hampshire contractor.
