Job Description
CAD Technician
Haverhill, Suffolk
Up to £40,000
There’s a difference between drawing something that looks right and drawing something that works.
Our client, a well-established retail design and manufacturing business, is looking to strengthen its Haverhill team with a CAD Technician who understands the realities of production. They design and manufacture retail and point of sale environments, combining creative intent with in-house joinery, metal fabrication and overseas manufacture.
This role sits firmly on the technical side of that process.
You will take approved concepts and develop them into accurate, production-ready drawing packs. You’ll consider materials, tolerances, fixings and assembly methods. You’ll think about how something is built before it ever reaches the workshop floor.
Your focus
* Developing detailed 3D CAD models for retail fixtures and display systems
* Translating concepts into fully resolved manufacturing drawings
* Producing assembly drawings, component schedules and fabrication details
* Ensuring all technical output aligns with production standards and capabilities
* Coordinating with joinery and metalwork teams to resolve practical challenges
* Supporting overseas production partners with clear documentation
* Maintaining structured, accurate drawing records and revisions
This is a delivery-driven technical role. Accuracy matters. Clarity matters. Commercial awareness matters.
The kind of background that fits
* Experience within retail, POS or product-based manufacturing
* Strong proficiency in Autodesk Inventor preferred
* SolidWorks is considered, provided you’re open to transitioning
* Understanding of joinery, metal fabrication and manufacturing constraints
* Confident in producing precise, build-ready technical drawings
* Organised, methodical and comfortable managing multiple live projects
The offer
* Salary up to £40,000
* Permanent position within a stable and established business
* Direct exposure to in-house production teams
* Long-term development within a growing retail manufacturing environment
This role suits a technically minded CAD professional who takes pride in precision and wants their work to translate directly into physical, manufactured results.
