Job description

We are expanding our Edinburgh team and are looking to hire a CAD Technician.

About the Role

Based in our growing Edinburgh team, you will assist in the production of the final AutoCAD drawings for a range of projects ranging from swept path assessments, junction layouts, cycleway design, housing developments, through to large scale renewable projects across Europe.

The Edinburgh team offers a unique opportunity to be fully remote in your work; however, as the team meets up regularly, you would still need to be able to access Edinburgh for team meetings. This should not preclude applications from anywhere within the UK.

As part of your role, you will establish a sound understanding of the client brief. Implementing your own initiative and technical skills, you will support the wider (multi-disciplinary) project team through safe, efficient, and effective delivery of tasks to deadlines.

This will ensure that the project remains within budget and to agreed standards. You will be responsible for the delivery of assigned tasks whilst acting under minimal supervision; therefore, you will be expected to plan your own work to meet given objectives.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

1. Implement project requirements to fully meet the client specification in accordance with relevant standards.
2. You will have experience of AutoCAD, and the use of Civils would be beneficial but not essential.
3. Prepare own discipline designs, drawings, and schedules as identified in the Project Quality.
4. A solid understanding of Autodesk Vehicle Tracking is essential; it is also preferable for the candidate to have an understanding of modelling oversized (Abnormal Indivisible Load) vehicles.
5. Assist other CAD Technicians and ensure that all drawings are complete and sent to meet tight deadlines.
6. Experience in QGIS is desirable but not essential.
7. Work alongside the Project Manager to ensure completion of jobs.
8. Manage your own workload and have all the relevant information from the briefs.
