About the role

We are recruiting for a CAD Technician to join an established and growing Design team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to develop beyond traditional drawing production and gain broader experience across technical design, drainage, earthworks, levels, and construction information. You will work closely with designers, engineers, project managers, and specialist consultants to develop coordinated technical designs from initial concepts through to construction, across a diverse portfolio of UK-based projects.

Responsibilities

• Prepare and develop General Arrangement drawings and associated technical information.
• Develop drainage designs, including layouts, pipe networks, chambers, falls, levels, and outfalls.
• Undertake earthworks and levels modelling, including proposed surfaces, gradients, and contours.
• Prepare cross sections, detailed construction build-ups, and construction details.
• Develop coordinated technical drawing packages from concept through to construction.
• Interpret topographical surveys, site information, architectural layouts, and other technical documentation.
• Coordinate drainage, earthworks, levels, and associated infrastructure with other project disciplines.
• Work closely with Design and Development teams to develop practical and buildable technical solutions.
• Update drawings and designs in response to client comments and project requirements.
• Ensure drawings and technical information are produced accurately and to the required standards.
• Manage drawing revisions and contribute to the timely delivery of project information.
• Support multiple projects and manage workloads effectively.

Requirements

• Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD.
• Experience using Civil 3D for levels, surfaces, earthworks, and/or drainage design.
• Experience producing General Arrangement drawings, cross sections, construction details, and technical drawing packages.
• A good understanding of drainage design, earthworks, levels, gradients, and falls.
• Ability to interpret topographical surveys and existing site information.
• Understanding of cut and fill principles and site level coordination.
• An understanding of construction materials and how technical designs translate into practical solutions.
• Strong technical drawing and detailing skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects.
• A willingness to learn and develop within a multidisciplinary Design team.

Qualifications

The following would be advantageous:

• Experience working with Revit, Navisworks, or within BIM-led project environments.
• A degree, HNC/HND, apprenticeship, or equivalent professional experience in Civil Engineering, Construction, CAD, or a relevant technical discipline.
• Previous experience within civil engineering, infrastructure, drainage, land development, or a multidisciplinary design environment.
