An established and growing consultancy is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Civil & Structural Technician to join its team in Swansea.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong and experienced CAD technician who is confident working across both civil and structural projects, with a particular emphasis on reinforced concrete detailing and drawing production.

The Role

The successful candidate will be responsible for producing and developing high-quality technical drawings and models across a range of civil and structural engineering projects. You will work closely with engineers, project teams and clients to deliver accurate and practical design information.

This role requires demonstrable experience in BOTH civil and structural projects.

• Land surveying
• Topographical surveys
• Site setting out
• As-built surveys
• General site measurement and data collection
• Ability to interpret and work from survey information

These additional skills are desirable rather than essential and would provide an opportunity for the successful candidate to contribute across a broader range of project activities.

• The opportunity to work on a varied portfolio of civil and structural engineering projects.
