Job Description
IT Applications Specialist - CAD/PLM Systems
Location: Surrey
Salary: £45,000-£55,000 + benefits
The Brief
If you like your IT roles hands-on, fast-moving, and genuinely close to real engineering, this is for you.
You'll be the person who keeps the digital backbone of a high-tech engineering environment running managing CAD, PLM, and PDM systems that design and build mission-critical hardware.
What You'll Do
* Own and support engineering applications like SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Teamcenter, or Windchill.
* Keep everything licensed, patched, and secure .
* Build smart automations and monitoring to make repetitive fixes a thing of the past.
* Work directly with engineers and project teams to improve how systems talk to each other.
* Take old processes, make them modern, and leave them better than you found them.
* Document everything properly because you actually know why that matters.
What You'll Bring
* Solid background supporting CAD/PLM tools in engineering or manufacturing.
* Experience managing license Servers, updates, and patch cycles.
* Confident with Windows Server, SQL, hybrid environments (Azure experience a bonus).
* Scripting chops in PowerShell, Bash, or Python
* Clear communicator who can bridge IT and engineering.
Why This Role Stands Out
You won't be another name in a ticket queue.
You'll be part of a small, trusted team that keeps the core systems of a cutting-edge engineering firm alive and improving systems used to design complex technology.
Plenty of scope to modernise, automate, and shape how the next generation of engineers work.
