CAD Technician

I'm currently working with a well-established transport and infrastructure consultancy looking to strengthen its technical team with the appointment of a Design Technician.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with around 2+ years' experience in highway design, transport planning or a related engineering environment who enjoys producing high-quality technical drawings and supporting development-focused projects.

Working within a collaborative team, you'll be involved in delivering preliminary highway and junction designs, access arrangements, swept path assessments and professional graphics that support planning and transport projects across the UK.

The Role

Key responsibilities will include:

Producing technical drawings using AutoCAD
Preparing highway access and junction layouts, including priority junctions, roundabouts and signalised junctions
Undertaking Swept Path Analysis using Auto Track
Producing high-quality graphics and figures using GIS and graphic design software
Supporting the delivery of transport planning and infrastructure projects
Working closely with engineers and transport planners to develop design solutions
Contributing to reports, presentations and client deliverables

About You

I'm keen to speak with candidates who have:

A qualification in Civil Engineering, Geography, Transport Planning or a related discipline (HNC/HND/Degree)
At least 2 years' relevant industry experience
Experience using AutoCAD
Working knowledge of Auto Track for vehicle tracking assessments
Exposure to development-focused transport planning or highway design projects
Strong communication skills and attention to detail
A proactive attitude with the ability to work independently and as part of a team

Experience with GIS, CorelDRAW or similar graphics packages would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's on Offer

In return, you'll receive:

Competitive salary based on experience
25 days annual leave, increasing with service
Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
Private medical insurance
Health cash plan
Enhanced pension provision
Life assurance and death-in-service cover
Cycle-to-work and travel loan schemes

If you're a Design Technician looking to develop your career within a respected transport and infrastructure consultancy, I'd be interested in having a confidential conversation.
