Job description

Excellent opportunity for a Joinery CAD Designer to join a well-established company based in Swindon

The Company

Established for over 50 years, they have a proud history of producing excellent joinery. A family run business, quality is at the very heart of what they do. They are now looking for a CAD Designer with joinery experience. The ideal candidate will be an experienced Bench Joiner who is already working in a CAD role or who is looking to move into CAD. If required, full training will be provided. They are not able to sponsor workers from overseas so you must have the right to work in the UK and be based within commuting distance of Swindon.

Role And Responsibilities

• Your role will be to produce detailed joinery manufacturing drawings from design specifications/draft drawings provided by the client or the client’s designer/architect using AutoCAD software.
• You will need to liaise regularly with the client or their designer/architect to ensure you are matching their brief and to get their approval for your drawings.
• You will also undertake site surveys where required to ensure products are designed to the correct size and specification.
• You will research and order component parts such as ironmongery, glass and metalwork using our supply chain.
• Finally, you will keep close the products as they are manufactured in our workshop to ensure that they are in line with what you have designed and agreed with the client.

This is an interesting and varied role where every day is different as they manufacture a wide range of joinery, including external doors and windows, bespoke wardrobes and cabinets and shopfitting fixtures. The company works with well-known contractors such as Skanska, ISG and Beards as well as luxury brands, including Chanel, Harrods and Selfridges.

Experience as a bench joiner is essential so you know how the items you are designing will be made. Ideally you will have CAD experience and be familiar with AutoCAD and/or AutoCAD Inventor but full training can be provided if you have an interest in drawing and a strong joinery background.

This role is based full time in the office although they are able to offer flexible working hours. In return, the company is offering a competitive salary negotiable depending on experience.
