A skilled AutoCAD Draughtsperson who thrives in a fast-paced project environment, takes pride in producing quality work, uses their initiative and works well as part of a team, with a strong focus on customer satisfaction.

  • 25 days annual leave + 8 statutory holidays.
  • Company laptop and mobile phone.
  • An opportunity to work on bespoke industrial engineering projects, where no two designs are the same, allowing you to develop your experience across fabrication, industrial systems and practical engineering design, working closely with engineers, suppliers and customers.

AutoCAD Draughtsperson Candidate Requirements

  • Proven experience in engineering, draughting or a drawing office environment.
  • Strong 2D AutoCAD skills, ideally producing general arrangement, layout and fabrication drawings. Experience with 3D CAD, such as SolidWorks, Inventor or similar would be very useful.

  • Strong attention to detail, with the confidence to identify design issues, clashes or ambiguities and raise them early.
  • HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering or a relevant technical qualification, or equivalent practical experience.

The AutoCAD Draughtsperson will take ownership of the accuracy and quality of your drawings, working closely with Project Engineers and Project Managers to resolve technical queries and develop practical solutions. The ability to manage multiple projects and communicate effectively with colleagues, customers and suppliers is important.

AutoCAD Draughtsperson Key Responsibilities

  • The AutoCAD Draughtsperson will produce detailed 2D AutoCAD general arrangement, layout and fabrication drawings and possibly develop 3D CAD models for more complex systems, layouts and interfaces.
  • Interpret customer requirements, engineering information and design intent.
  • Work closely with Project Engineers and Project Managers to develop practical, buildable solutions.
  • Attend site surveys and measurement activities where required.
  • Liaise with customers, suppliers, subcontractors and commissioning engineers to resolve drawing and installation requirements.
