Position Summary: 

We're looking for an experienced Autodesk AutoCAD Technician to become an important member of our growing team.

  • Managing, simplifying and controlling layers.
  • Working confidently with external references (Xrefs).
  • Removing unnecessary or duplicate drawing elements.
• Applying and maintaining company's CAD standards, templates, title blocks, symbol libraries and drawing conventions.
• Producing accurate, organised drawings to support lighting calculations, reports and project documentation.
• Assisting with setting up projects within specialist lighting software (full training provided).
• Ensuring drawing accuracy, consistency and quality across multiple projects.
• Managing drawing and project documentation, including filing, drawing issue sheets and issuing drawings in accordance with company procedures.
• Organising project files within SharePoint and OneDrive using established folder structures and naming conventions.
• Working closely with the UK team through Microsoft Teams, including chat, screen sharing and regular project meetings.
• Following documented procedures while actively contributing ideas that help improve our CAD standards, systems and ways of working.

Desired Attributes, Skills and Experiences:

• At least three years' experience as an Autodesk AutoCAD Technician or CAD Drafter. 
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD 2D using AutoDesk software.

• Experience working with complex multi-layer engineering or architectural drawings, including interpreting and modifying third-party base drawings. 
• Experience working within a civil engineering, infrastructure or architectural consultancy.
• Ability to quickly understand and apply company CAD standards, templates and drawing conventions. 
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills, with the confidence to ask questions and communicate professionally with the UK team.  
• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 applications, including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. 
• Good understanding of CAD file management and drawing issue procedures. 
• Familiarity with engineering, construction or planning terminology.
