Key Responsibilities

• Produce and manage technical drawing packages using CAD/BIM software (e.g. AutoCAD & Revit)
• Prepare planning, building regulation, and construction documentation, ensuring compliance with UK standards
• Conduct building surveys, site visits, and inspections, including heritage sites, MoD estates, and other complex projects, with occasional national travel
• Collaborate with clients, consultants, engineers, and other disciplines to coordinate project delivery
• Work independently where needed, using initiative and problem-solving to meet deadlines and budgets

Ideal Candidate

• Degree (or HNC/HND) in Architectural Technology, or related discipline, or actively pursuing a relevant qualification
• Proficient in AutoCAD and Revit/BIM software
• Demonstrable experience in building surveying, technical detailing, and project delivery, ideally including historic or complex buildings, heritage sites, or MoD estates
• Strong understanding of UK building regulations, planning processes, and construction standards

• Confident, proactive, and hands-on, with commitment to delivering high-integrity technical work
