Job description

My client is looking for an experienced Civil Engineering CAD Technician, ideally with a background in commercial, industrial or logistics developments.

Essential requirements:

• Excellent AutoCAD skills, including Xrefs, STB plot styles, drawing management and presentation.
• Experience with AutoTrack (particularly HGV swept paths) and PDS Lines and Signs.
• Experience producing civil engineering drawings, including drainage, external works, roads, levels, paving, setting out and construction details.
• Good understanding of civil engineering design and construction practices.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce accurate, well-presented drawings efficiently.
• Ability to check their own work, identify coordination issues and consistently follow company CAD standards and QA procedures.
• Organised, reliable and capable of working independently across multiple projects.

Desirable but not essential:

• Working knowledge of Civil 3D, particularly reviewing and making minor amendments to existing models.
• Experience with earthworks, cut & fill and external levels.
• Experience on large industrial/logistics developments and Design & Build projects.

Their main priority is finding a dependable, experienced CAD technician with strong AutoCAD skills and a good understanding of civil engineering.

While not necessarily looking for a specialist 3D modeller, drawing quality, accuracy, efficiency and the discipline to follow established CAD and QA standards are more important than advanced Civil 3D skills.

Hydrid working arrangements can be offered.
