• Check drawings for accuracy, completeness, buildability and compliance with the relevant project standards.
• Maintain effective revision control, drawing registers and records of design changes.
• Apply consistent CAD standards, including file structures, layering and naming conventions.
• Contribute to steelwork and reinforcement detailing where relevant to the project.
• Share good practice and provide practical support to less experienced CAD technicians.
• Help the team improve its use of CAD tools, digital workflows and quality processes.

Here’s what you’ll need

• Strong practical experience using AutoCAD to produce detailed engineering drawings.
• Experience supporting bridge, civil or structural engineering projects.
• An understanding of structural detailing and how drawings are used during design and construction.
• The ability to interpret engineering information and identify gaps, inconsistencies or potential detailing issues.
• A consistent approach to drawing quality, document control and revision management.
• The confidence to work collaboratively with engineers and other technical colleagues.
• The ability to plan your workload and deliver accurate work to agreed project deadlines.
