CAD Technician - Sheet Metal & Fabrication

Liverpool | Full-Time | £30,000 - £35,000 | No Sponsorship Available

Do you take pride in precision? Love seeing your designs come to life on the shop floor?

We're a well-established, growing sheet metal fabrication business and we're looking for a hands‑on CAD Technician to join our long‑standing team in Liverpool. This is a role for someone who gets sheet metal - ideally with a shop floor background or exposure to laser cutting, folding, and fabrication processes. You'll own your projects from first drawing to finished product, with plenty of scope to grow.

• Taking customer orders and producing complete drawing packs for production and works orders
• Designing flat pack sheet metal part profiles using RADAN and other CAD software (2D/3D)
• Managing each job as your own project - start to finish
• Applying reverse engineering knowledge to solve real manufacturing challenges
• Liaising with customers to seek approvals and resolve technical queries
• Outputting files for CAM post-processing and coordinating with subcontractors
• Supporting the shopfloor team face to face during production
• Feeding improvement ideas back to senior management

• Experience in a sheet metal or fabrication environment - shop floor background a real advantage
• CAD software proficiency; RADAN experience or CAD/CAM knowledge advantageous but not essential
• Understanding of sheet metal processes: laser cutting, folding, bending, and bolting
• Reverse engineering experience or mindset - a big plus
• Strong mathematical and practical engineering skills
• Able to work independently, hit deadlines, and manage multiple projects
• Clear communicator at all levels - customers, colleagues, and management
• Sharp eye for detail and a genuine commitment to quality

• £30,000 - £35,000 depending on experience
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Pension: 3% employer / 5% employee
• Training and development opportunities
• A role with real variety - interesting design work, no two jobs the same
• Join a long-standing, supportive team that values what you bring
• Be part of an expanding business with genuine room to grow

• Stage 1:
  Face-to-face interview
• Stage 2:
  Practical skills test
