Job description

Introduction

3D Technical Design Ltd (3DTD) specialise in Heat Network Design and Project Development. Offering Advanced Feasibility Studies, Detailed Project Design, Project Planning and 3D Utility and Pipe Modelling for city-wide Heat Network projects. To complement this service, 3DTD also carry out feasibility studies and detailed designs for energy centres, plant rooms and substations.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a self-motivated District Heating Project/Technical Manager seeking to work in a design-and-delivery role in District Heating and the renewable energy sector. The role is heavily focused on developing and implementing the company’s Quality Management System and on managing the design team’s development and performance against the QMS. Advanced 2D CAD skills and a good knowledge of 3D CAD work is preferable.

The initial 3-day induction will be carried out, depending on the country of work, either online at home or office-based. A one-month training and introduction to the processes and QMS for delivery will be followed by a 5-month online mentoring, which will be home-based. The reason behind the structured training and mentor plan is due to the niche services 3DTD provide to its clients, as there are very few DHN designers in the UK or in Europe who are specialised in the buried side of heat networks, hence we need to train all new employees to allow them to deliver these designs to our high standards.

Under the title of DHN Project/Technical Manager, the role will develop the right candidate to efficiently manage, plan, and deliver market-leading designs and reports that 3DTD offers to its clients.

The role includes a mentored development programme which seeks to complement a solid technical foundation with developing Middle Management skills, Technical Management skills and clinical client-facing consultancy acumen.
