In this role, you'll produce high-quality technical drawings for bespoke, high-end residential projects.

• Communicate confidently and professionally with Surveyors, Structural Engineers, Operations colleagues and management teams.
• Complete tasks accurately within tight deadlines, balancing priorities in a busy environment.
• Record, scan and upload relevant documentation accurately to company IT systems.

• Communicates clearly and works collaboratively with technical and operational colleagues.
• Is confident using Microsoft Office, Outlook, intranet systems and other IT applications.

• Comprehensive health and well-being benefits, including access to in-house occupational health and well-being resources, discounted gym memberships, an employee assistance programme, mental health resources and digital GP services.
• Heavily discounted employee purchase scheme across all Company products.
• Group perks and discounts with major high street retailers, including food shopping, days out, cinema, theatre, dining and mobile phones.
