The Opportunity
We are working with a specialist engineering consultancy delivering high-quality, buildable design solutions across the UK and internationally. With a strong reputation in structural waterproofing, roofing systems, and sustainable drainage (SuDS), this is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, technically respected business.
This is not a standard CAD role. You’ll be producing detailed construction drawings for complex, real-world engineering projects where precision and coordination are critical.
The Job
As a CAD Technician, you will work closely with senior engineers to develop coordinated drawing packages for a variety of specialist construction applications.
You’ll translate marked-up drawings, sketches, and design calculations into clear, buildable CAD outputs, contributing directly to project delivery.
Key Responsibilities

Develop detailed construction drawings including:
GA plans, sections, and technical details
Waterproofing zoning drawings
Drainage layouts and invert schedules
Setting out information
Support designs for:
Basement waterproofing (BS 8102)
Podium decks and buried roofs
Blue roofs and controlled drainage systems

Contribute to the development of the internal technical detail library
The Person
HNC/HND (or equivalent) in a relevant design or engineering discipline

Desirable (but not essential):
Knowledge of drainage layouts and levels

Exposure to waterproofing, roofing, or SuDS
The Offer
Competitive salary (£28,000 – £35,000 depending on experience)
Structured training and clear progression pathway
Opportunity to work towards specialist qualifications (including structural waterproofing design)
Mentorship from industry-recognised experts
Exposure to diverse, high-profile projects
Ongoing professional development support (courses & memberships)
