Our Client

Empire Recruitment is recruiting for an experienced Technical Team Leader to support and guide a busy technical department within a manufacturing environment serving the construction sector. This role sits between senior technical management and the technical support team, ensuring daily outputs are delivered accurately, efficiently, and to a consistently high standard.

You will combine strong technical expertise with people leadership, coordinating workloads, supporting team development, and acting as a key technical point of contact across the wider business. The role requires close collaboration with sales, marketing, production, and project delivery teams to ensure designs progress smoothly from enquiry through to manufacture and site installation.

This is a great opportunity for a technically strong professional looking to step into, or further develop, a leadership role within a growing construction-focused business. You’ll have real influence over technical quality, team development, and how projects move from concept to delivery.

  • Maintain a high standard of presentation and professionalism across all technical documentation

Team Leadership
  • Plan and coordinate workloads, priorities, and deadlines within the technical team
  • Coach and develop team members in construction knowledge, systems, and drawing standards
  • Identify skills gaps, training requirements, and opportunities to improve team capability
  • Balance productivity and quality in a fast-paced working environment

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Act as a technical link between departments such as sales, marketing, quality, and project delivery
  • Provide technical input to support pre-sales activity, including layouts, clarifications, and buildability advice
  • Help manage competing priorities across multiple live projects

Process & Continuous Improvement
  • Support the implementation of technical strategies and best practices
  • Help standardise workflows, calculations, document control, and quality checks
  • Contribute to improving efficiency, scalability, and consistency as the business grows
  • Ensure work is carried out in line with certified quality, environmental, and health & safety systems
  • Promote safe working practices and report any hazards or concerns

Requirements

Technical Background
  • Strong experience in construction-related technical roles
  • Good understanding of groundworks, civil engineering, or residential construction systems
  • Ability to confidently interpret architectural, structural, and foundation drawings
  • Solid knowledge of building performance principles, including thermal performance and heat loss

Software & Tools
  • Advanced AutoCAD skills
  • Experience working with technical drawings, schedules, take-offs, and models
  • 3D modelling experience beneficial but not essential

Personal Attributes
  • Organised, detail-focused, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
  • Confident leading people and making technical decisions
  • Clear communicator, able to explain complex issues to non-technical colleagues
  • Practical, solutions-focused mindset with strong commercial awareness
  • Positive, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment

Qualifications
  • Relevant qualification in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
