This is a unique opportunity to break into an exciting hybrid role that bridges both CAD design and project management.

• Communicate directly with clients and internal stakeholders
• Help manage project lifecycles from concept through to delivery
• Occasionally attend client site visits to support project rollout

This role is perfect for detailers who enjoy the technical challenge of CAD design but want more variety than sitting behind a desk – ideal for those looking to engage with clients, broaden their influence, and explore routes into project engineering or technical consultancy.

The Role:

• Hybrid detailing and project support role
• Technical training on specialist construction systems
• Hands‑on client engagement and project coordination
• Future progression into project leadership or advanced design roles

The Person:

• CAD detailer or design engineer (construction, architecture or similar)
• Comfortable liaising with clients and managing technical documentation
• Keen to move into a broader role with real progression and variation
• Construction or structural knowledge desirable
