• Experience within construction, architecture or a related built environment discipline.
• A BTEC, HNC or HND in Architectural Technology, Construction or a related subject would be desirable, although relevant practical experience will also be considered.

• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to follow established drawing standards and templates.
• Good organisational and written communication skills.
• Driving license and access to your own vehicle is essential due to the location of the business.
