Job Description:

CAD ENGINEER

My client is looking for a talented and detail-focused CAD Engineer to join a growing engineering team and play a key role in transforming creative concepts into products that can be accurately manufactured, installed and delivered to customers.

Every drawing you create provides the blueprint for production and installation. Your attention to detail will help ensure components fit correctly, projects meet the required technical and safety standards, and customers receive exactly what they expect.

You'll work alongside experienced designers, engineers, manufacturers and installation teams, contributing to a collaborative environment where quality, accuracy and practical problem-solving are highly valued.

If you enjoy solving technical problems, creating accurate engineering drawings and seeing your work progress from concept through to reality, this could be an excellent opportunity for you.

The Role

My client is looking for an organised, detail-focused CAD Engineer who enjoys combining technical precision with practical problem-solving.

Working under the guidance of the Director of Design & Engineering and Engineering Team Leader, you'll collaborate closely with production and installation teams to ensure drawings and technical information are accurate, issued on time and aligned with project requirements.

This role would suit someone who enjoys learning, takes pride in producing high-quality work and wants to develop within a growing engineering team where every project presents a new challenge.

Producing detailed 3D models, engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation using SolidWorks

Creating accurate production drawings to support manufacturing and installation

Reviewing drawings against project specifications to identify and resolve potential issues before production begins

Designing in accordance with relevant technical, safety and industry standards

Producing manufacturing lists, component schedules and supplier order information

Supporting the preparation of technical information used within project quotations

Updating drawings and technical documentation as project requirements evolve

Working closely with production, procurement and installation teams to ensure projects run smoothly

Managing multiple projects while maintaining exceptional levels of accuracy

Responding positively and efficiently to design amendments and specification changes

Contributing ideas that improve processes, efficiency and engineering quality

Taking ownership of your work and ensuring technical information is accurate, consistent and reliable

What Makes You a Great Fit
