Design Engineer (CAD Specialist)
Location: Runcorn (WA7)
Salary: £37,500 - £44,000 per year
Position Type: Permanent, Full-time
Overview
You’re the person who turns architectural ideas into precise, buildable designs. Every day you’re working on high‑profile UK projects—shopfronts, structural glazing, curtain walling—making sure every detail is perfect before it hits the production line or the construction site.
My client, a trusted and expanding company in the aluminium glazing sector, is looking for an experienced CAD/Logikal Technician to join their technical design team. This isn’t just about drawing; it’s about collaborating with fabricators, project managers, and installers to bring projects to life, solving technical challenges, and ensuring everything meets British and European standards.
Responsibilities
* Producing accurate AutoCAD drawings for a range of glazing systems (SMART, SAS, Senior Aluminium).
* Generating fabrication drawings and material schedules to ensure manufacturing and installation readiness.
* Creating technical documentation that guides the team from design to completion.
* Working closely with fabricators, project managers, and installers to resolve design or technical queries.
* Attending design and coordination meetings; providing key input to keep projects on track.
* Ensuring all drawings comply with supplier manuals, product limitations, and industry standards.
* Managing projects from survey and drawing packs through to installation, keeping stakeholders updated on progress.
Qualifications
We’re looking for someone with:
* At least 5 years of experience in the aluminium glazing industry.
* Proficiency in AutoCAD and Logikal software.
* In‑depth knowledge of Senior Aluminium and Smart Aluminium systems.
* A strong eye for precision; pride in creating millimetre‑accurate drawings.
* Robust problem‑solving skills, whether resolving a technical query or optimizing a design.
* Excellent teamwork ability; equally comfortable collaborating or working independently.
* Strong organisational skills; can manage multiple projects and deadlines.
* Based within a 60‑minute commute of Runcorn (WA7).
Benefits
* A competitive salary and long‑term job stability.
* Genuine career development opportunities.
* A supportive, collaborative team environment—with no micromanagement.
* Opportunity to see your designs come to life in real‑world projects.
