Key Responsibilities of a CAD Designer:

• Producing detailed CAD drawings and bespoke designs using AutoCAD.
• Managing your own CAD design workload from initial concept through to manufacture.
• Developing architectural metalwork, sheet metalwork and interior design solutions.
• Producing fabrication drawings and ensuring designs are practical and buildable.
• Working closely with fabrication teams to resolve technical design issues.
• Liaising with clients, architects and contractors to develop strong working relationships.
• Carrying out site surveys and coordinating with installation teams.
• Supporting project planning, scheduling and labour management.

• Experience producing technical drawings, detailed CAD designs and fabrication drawings.
• A strong eye for detail and the ability to translate concepts into practical, manufacturable designs.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to manage your own workload.
• A proactive, ambitious approach with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

What's on Offer?

• The opportunity to work on prestigious architectural projects across London.
• A varied position combining CAD design, technical problem-solving and project management.
• Exposure to bespoke engineering solutions and innovative architectural lighting products.
• Regular client interaction and site visits rather than being desk-based every day.
• Genuine opportunities for career development and progression.
