PLEASE NOTE OUR CLIENT IS UNABLE TO OFFER SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE.
Pearson Whiffin Recruitment is working with a specialist technical organisation delivering large-scale infrastructure and event-led design projects within a highly structured, regulated environment.
This role is focused on high-volume AutoCAD drafting and drawing standardisation. You will be working through a clearly defined process to prepare, update and re-layer drawings to an internal standard, supporting multiple complex projects delivered to fixed timelines.
The Role
Produce and update CAD drawings for infrastructure and site-based technical projects
Re-layer and process existing drawings in line with a defined internal CAD standard
Work through a structured delivery plan for individual projects, each with clear timelines
Apply consistent drafting methods rather than developing new design concepts
Review drawings for accuracy, clarity and compliance prior to issue
Maintain clear file control, versioning and documentation
Collaborate with engineers and technical stakeholders to interpret requirements
Potential involvement in survey or data-processing work as the role and team develop
About You
Strong AutoCAD capability with confidence producing and editing 2D drawings
Background aligned to infrastructure, civil, structural or technical drafting environments
Comfortable with repetitive, detailed CAD tasks and high-volume drawing output
Able to follow defined instructions and processes accurately
Methodical, detail-oriented and reliable in meeting delivery targets
Genuinely enjoys CAD drafting and is happy to focus on it for the majority of the working day
UK-based with permanent Right to Work (role not suitable for sponsorship)
Ideal Candidate Profile
Graduate or early-career CAD Draftsperson with strong AutoCAD skills and a desire to learn
OR an experienced CAD professional who enjoys consistent, process-driven drafting work
Someone who takes pride in accuracy, consistency and well-presented drawings
Stable, grounded personality comfortable working within a clearly defined scope
Open to developing into broader technical or data-led work overtime
Important Fit Guidance
This role is not suited to candidates whose experience is predominantly mechanical design with limited CAD exposure, or to individuals seeking rapid progression into leadership roles. The position is delivery-focused, process-led and best suited to candidates who enjoy producing high-quality drawings consistently.
Why Apply?
Work on technically complex, large-scale infrastructure projects
Clearly defined scope, structure and expectations
Opportunity to deepen AutoCAD and technical drafting expertise
Supportive, detail-focused technical team environment
Potential to broaden into data-led or survey-related work
