Job Description

We are seeking a skilled CAD Technician to join our design team and support the delivery of accurate technical drawings and models that enable efficient manufacture and installation of our products. The successful candidate will work closely with design engineers, project managers and production teams to produce detailed 2D and 3D CAD outputs, maintain drawing standards and contribute to continuous improvement of our design processes.

Key responsibilities

------------------------


Produce accurate 2D technical drawings and 3D models from concept sketches, specifications and engineering data using our CAD systems. Prepare and revise drawings for manufacture and assembly, including dimensioning, tolerances, bills of materials and material specifications. Translate design intent into detailed CAD documentation and ensure drawings comply with company standards and regulatory requirements. Support design engineers with modelling, detail development and preparing presentation and technical pack materials. Maintain and update CAD libraries, templates and standard detail files to ensure consistency across projects. Collaborate with production, procurement and site teams to resolve technical queries and support problem solving during manufacture and installation. Carry out drawing checks, revision control and maintain accurate document / file management within the PDM/PLM system. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to streamline CAD workflows, reduce errors and improve first-time-right manufacture. Adhere to health, safety and quality procedures and report any non-conformances promptly.

Skills and experience required

----------------------------------


Proven experience working as a CAD Technician or in a similar technical drafting role, ideally within manufacturing, construction or engineering environments. Proficiency in industry-standard CAD packages (e.g. AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar); experience of both 2D and 3D modelling is essential. Good understanding of manufacturing processes, materials and fabrication techniques to produce practical and producible drawings. Experience with PDM/PLM systems or document control workflows and strong version control discipline. Strong attention to detail, good geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) knowledge and the ability to produce clear, unambiguous drawings. Excellent communication and team-working skills with the ability to liaise with multi?disciplinary stakeholders and respond to technical queries. Ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines and work methodically under pressure. Relevant technical qualification in engineering, draughting or a related discipline desirable; formal CAD training or certification advantageous. Knowledge of engineering standards, UK regulations and health & safety requirements relevant to the role.

What we offer

-----------------


Competitive salary and performance-related benefits. Company pension scheme and life assurance. Opportunities for professional development and internal progression, with access to training and CAD system upskilling. Generous colleague discounts and staff offers. Supportive and inclusive working environment focused on wellbeing and collaborative working.

Working hours and location

------------------------------


Full-time role; standard office hours with occasional flexibility required to meet project deadlines. Hybrid working model where applicable: a mix of office-based design studio time and site or production visits as required. Some travel to regional sites, suppliers or manufacturing partners may be required.
We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment practices. If you are a detail-oriented CAD professional who enjoys turning designs into manufacture-ready documentation, we'd love to hear from you.
