Main Duties & Responsibilities
* Work with on-site teams to deliver projects from concept to completion, covering capital investment, project works, and asset maintenance.
* Develop detailed 3D models, drawings, and bills of materials; convert existing 2D designs into 3D CAD models.
* Liaise with departments to ensure design accuracy and compliance with planning, building, and health & safety regulations.
* Support project, maintenance, production, and HSE teams to meet time and budget targets.
* Provide design solutions for ad hoc site issues and manage in-house drawing revision control and documentation.

Knowledge & Experience
You will have a degree, HND or equivalent qualification in a mechanical discipline, along with training in CAD software—ideally using Autodesk products as used on site, though experience with equivalent packages is also valuable. You will have in-depth knowledge of CAD drawing software across both 2D and 3D formats, and be proficient in computer applications including MS Office. You’ll be able to read and interpret technical documents and engineering drawings, with a self-motivated, hands-on, ‘can do’ approach to work.
