Are you a skilled CAD Technician looking for a role where your ideas matter, your development is championed, and your work has a direct impact on real-world engineered solutions?
Our client is an ambitious and fast growing engineering firm that designs, manufactures and installs specialist equipment for bulk material handling and storage. With an in house fabrication team, a hands on leadership style and a genuinely supportive culture, this is an opportunity to join a business on an exciting upward curve.
The Role:
As a key part of the engineering team, you’ll produce accurate, high quality 3D models and fabrication drawings to support a wide range of bespoke projects. The business uses SolidWorks, but they’re genuinely open to exploring alternative packages if you bring something better to the table.
You’ll collaborate closely with the Engineering Director and workshop teams, helping bring concepts to life and ensuring designs move smoothly from screen to shop floor. Most of your time will be office based, with occasional site visits for surveys or project understanding.
Key Responsibilities:
* Producing 3D models of mechanical handling equipment.
* Creating fabrication, assembly and general arrangement drawings.
* Designing hoppers, platforms, silos, supports and associated fabricated structures.
* Updating, improving and maintaining existing drawing files.
* Providing clear drawing support and clarification to workshop teams.
* Integrating new equipment into existing client layouts.
* Carrying out occasional site surveys when required.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re open to applicants across a range of experience levels. You’ll have:
* A background or strong interest in mechanical engineering.
* Confidence in producing accurate 3D models and drawings.
* A practical understanding of fabricated assemblies.
* Strong attention to detail and a collaborative approach.
* A willingness to ask questions and learn on the job.
If you’re technically curious, enjoy problem-solving and like seeing your designs become real engineered products, you’ll thrive here.
Benefits:
This business invests in people, not bureaucracy. You’ll enjoy:
* A 9-day fortnight (every other Friday off).
* Private healthcare.
* Hands-on, approachable leadership,no egos, no silly barriers.
* Quick decision-making and a culture where your voice counts.
* Career progression as the company continues to grow.
* Pension, overtime opportunities, training support.
* Company performance-related bonus.
If you want a role where you’re more than just a CAD Technician, where you’re part of an engineering journey with room to grow – this is it.
