PLEASE NOTE OUR CLIENT IS UNABLE TO OFFER SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE.

Pearson Whiffin Recruitment is working with a specialist technical organisation delivering large-scale infrastructure and event-led design projects within a highly structured, regulated environment.

This role is focused on high-volume AutoCAD drafting and drawing standardisation. You will be working through a clearly defined process to prepare, update and re-layer drawings to an internal standard, supporting multiple complex projects delivered to fixed timelines.

The Role

Produce and update CAD drawings for infrastructure and site-based technical projects

Re-layer and process existing drawings in line with a defined internal CAD standard

Work through a structured delivery plan for individual projects, each with clear timelines

Apply consistent drafting methods rather than developing new design concepts

Review drawings for accuracy, clarity and compliance prior to issue

Maintain clear file control, versioning and documentation

Collaborate with engineers and technical stakeholders to interpret requirements

Potential involvement in survey or data-processing work as the role and team develop

About You

Strong AutoCAD capability with confidence producing and editing 2D drawings

Background aligned to infrastructure, civil, structural or technical drafting environments

Comfortable with repetitive, detailed CAD tasks and high-volume drawing output

Able to follow defined instructions and processes accurately

Methodical, detail-oriented and reliable in meeting delivery targets

Genuinely enjoys CAD drafting and is happy to focus on it for the majority of the working day

UK-based with permanent Right to Work (role not suitable for sponsorship)

Ideal Candidate Profile

Graduate or early-career CAD Draftsperson with strong AutoCAD skills and a desire to learn

OR an experienced CAD professional who enjoys consistent, process-driven drafting work

Someone who takes pride in accuracy, consistency and well-presented drawings

Stable, grounded personality comfortable working within a clearly defined scope

Open to developing into broader technical or data-led work overtime

Important Fit Guidance

This role is not suited to candidates whose experience is predominantly mechanical design with limited CAD exposure, or to individuals seeking rapid progression into leadership roles. The position is delivery-focused, process-led and best suited to candidates who enjoy producing high-quality drawings consistently.

Why Apply?

Work on technically complex, large-scale infrastructure projects

Clearly defined scope, structure and expectations

Opportunity to deepen AutoCAD and technical drafting expertise

Supportive, detail-focused technical team environment

Potential to broaden into data-led or survey-related work
