Design Manager

Beacon Hill is seeking two Design Managers to oversee the development and coordination of infrastructure designs from initial concept through construction. These individuals will act as project managers for the design phase, coordinating design requirements across engineering disciplines, consultants, stakeholders, and construction teams. The Design Manager will oversee the full design process, including defining requirements, procuring design services, managing RFPs and bids, coordinating permitting, maintaining design schedules, tracking budgets, and ensuring the different trades are properly integrated into the final design. This is a design-management role rather than a hands-on designer position.
