The Opportunity
High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd is recruiting a CAD Data Analyst to join its Digital Engineering team, working across one of the UK's largest and most complex infrastructure programmes.
This is an excellent opportunity for a CAD or Data Analyst looking to move into data, digital engineering and information management while gaining direct client-side experience with HS2.
You'll play a crucial role in organising, analysing and assuring CAD data coming into HS2 from across its entire supply chain.
You'll work across the full HS2 programme, including:
* 4 Main Works Civils contracts
* 4 new HS2 railway stations
* 11 Rail Systems contracts
You'll be part of a dedicated team of five CAD Data Analysts, working at the centre of how HS2 manages and assures its engineering information.
Please note understanding how the CAD data is structured and produced is the key to the role.
A Genuine Career Development Opportunity
This is not simply a CAD checking role.

The next step could be CAD Specialist / CAD Data Manager – £60k + package, with further opportunities to develop into broader Data Analyst, Digital Engineering and Information Management roles within HS2.
Be Part of HS2's Digital Future
HS2's Digital Engineering team is involved in some of the most advanced digital engineering work being undertaken on a major infrastructure programme, including the development of HS2's first fully functional digital twin.
The CAD Data Analyst plays an important role in this work.
Before sophisticated digital engineering and digital twin applications can work effectively, HS2 needs high-quality, structured and reliable CAD data from across its supply chain.
You'll therefore be helping to organise and assure the engineering information that supports HS2's wider digital strategy.
The Role
You'll be responsible for analysing, validating and assuring CAD and 3D model data received from consultants, suppliers and delivery partners.
You'll ensure information meets HS2's contractual, technical and Digital Engineering requirements and is suitable for use across the programme.
Key Responsibilities

* Manage CAD data exchanges through the Common Data Environment (CDE).
* Organise and assure CAD information received from across the HS2 supply chain.
* Review information submitted by consultants, contractors and delivery partners.
* Identify, report and investigate data quality issues and root causes.
* Determine whether CAD information meets the required standards for acceptance.
* Support compliance with HS2 Digital Engineering standards, specifications and procedures.
* Work with Digital Engineering, delivery teams, suppliers and technical stakeholders to resolve information issues.
* Support data assurance, interoperability and continuous improvement.
* Contribute to improved processes, automation and more efficient data workflows.
* Support the wider Digital Engineering team's development of digital engineering and digital twin capabilities.
