Job description

Overview

Are you a talented CAD/BIM Technician with strong Revit and AutoCAD skills? Our client, a leading multi‑disciplinary consultancy in Edinburgh, is seeking a skilled individual to support their Civil & Structural Engineering team.

Responsibilities

• Create and model C&S drawings and Revit models from hand sketches and engineer layouts.
• Manage incoming design documentation—filing, archiving, and ensuring smooth plot workflows.
• Uphold BIM/CAD standards, layering practices, and quality across all produced drawings.
• Support general engineering admin: scanning, PDF conversion, drawing setup, and publishing.
• Maintain and improve Revit, AutoCAD, Word, and Excel proficiency to meet evolving project needs.

Qualifications

• Possess a HNC/HND in Civil Engineering or equivalent qualification.
• Hands-on experience in CAD/BIM drafting within civil or structural engineering.
• Attention to detail, organisation, and a good grasp of CAD/BIM protocols.
• Confident using Revit and AutoCAD; familiarity with Word/Excel essential.
• Ideally experienced in Civil & Structural disciplines.

What's In It For You

Join a supportive, multi‑disciplinary team in an award-winning consultancy. Work in a beautifully refurbished office with excellent amenities and hybrid flexibility. Benefit from a robust package: 33 days holiday (incl. year-end close).

Why This Role Stands Out

Be central to document management and drafting excellence, directly supporting Civil & Structural engineers. Work across a range of engaging projects—from new-build developments to complex refurbishments in sectors like residential, commercial, and public infrastructure. Join a consultancy that values quality, wellbeing, and digital innovation within a collaborative team culture.
