Job description

Job Description

Ready to kickstart your long-term Technical Design career in AutoCAD & Revit with serious progression potential? Seven years ago, we placed a junior AutoCAD Technician with this high-end glazing subcontractor (with a turnover of £85M). Today, that person is the Group Pre-Construction Design Director. This type of career progression isn't a one-off.

It's part of the culture here. This is a long-term opportunity for someone at the beginning of their Technical Design journey, ideally with a couple of years of AutoCAD experience, who wants to be developed, challenged, and promoted. You'll be joining a company that invests in people, offers serious career progression, and encourages internal promotion. The person you’ll be interviewed by is living proof of that.

What You'll Be Doing:

Our client is a leader in bespoke glass solutions for CAT A and CAT B commercial fit-outs, and they’re expanding their Pre-Construction Design Team. You’ll support Senior Designers working on projects from RIBA Stage 2 to 5, producing detailed drawings and specifications on CAD & Revit, using in-house and 3rd-party glazing systems.

• Participating in Design Workshops to develop innovative solutions at the tender stage
• Creating accurate design information based on client and architect specifications
• Producing detailed CAD drawings to support the estimating team in tender submissions
• Collaborating closely with the technical team to design bespoke glazing solutions for commercial fit-out projects

Following your 6-month probation, you will be given work-from-home options and flexibility in your role.

What We’re Looking For:

Essential:

• Proficient in AutoCAD 2D
• Strong Microsoft Office skills
• Experience in construction or commercial fit-out

Nice to Have:

• Revit/BIM exposure
• Experience working on commercial fit-out projects
• Background with specialist subcontractors (glazed partitions, joinery, facades, etc.)
• Spec writing or presentation experience

If you're at the beginning of your technical design career and eager to grow within a company that invests in your long-term success, then this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. Apply today.
