We’re recruiting a Junior CAD Technician to join a specialist contractor working on golf course construction and landshaping projects across the UK.
This role is ideal for a graduate, recent leaver, or junior CAD user who is confident using CAD software and keen to develop technical skills in 3D modelling and construction-based design. You don’t need prior earthworks or civil experience — full training will be provided.
You’ll support the production of drawings and 3D models that are used directly on live construction projects, working closely with experienced designers, surveyors and site teams. This is a hands‑on opportunity to learn how designs move from screen to site.
The Role
As a Junior CAD Technician, you’ll assist in producing CAD drawings and 3D models used for construction, planning and presentation purposes.

* Help prepare layouts, sections, profiles and basic level drawings
* Learn how to generate volumes and construction-ready outputs
* Update drawings and models as designs develop or site information changes
Project & Team Support
* Work alongside senior designers, surveyors and site teams
* Help convert design concepts into clear, usable construction information
* Respond to basic technical queries with guidance from senior staff
* Assist with as-built drawings and project documentation
Training & Development
* Full training provided in civil / earthworks modelling software
* Exposure to real construction projects and site workflows
* Opportunity to progress into a more technical CAD / 3D modelling role
About You
Essential
* Basic to intermediate experience using AutoCAD (education or industry)
* CAD qualification, construction-related degree, or relevant technical training
* Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn
* Good communication skills and a positive, proactive attitude
* Interest in construction, land design, or technical design roles
Desirable (but not essential)
* Experience with 3D modelling software (any discipline)
* Construction, civil engineering, surveying or landscaping background
* Placement year, internship or project-based CAD experience
Important: This role does not require prior earthworks or civil modelling experience — training will be provided for the right candidate.
What’s On Offer
