The Role: Where Design Meets Delivery
This is not a heads-down, screen-only drawing role. It is a hybrid position combining hands-on AutoCAD design with full project management ownership. You will take projects from the very first sketch through to installation and handover, working shoulder-to-shoulder with clients, internal teams and suppliers to deliver safely, on time and to specification. Every project brings brilliant challenges. One week you might be designing the simplest load-bearing pallet racking; the next, a complex automated storage structure, a high-spec office refurbishment, or a rooftop solar PV system.
The role suits someone technically strong in AutoCAD layout design who is equally comfortable running a project and talking confidently with a customer on site.
Your Key Areas of Responsibility
- Design this is an office-based role with regular travel to sites.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD (2D essential; 3D a bonus).
- Ideally experience in racking and shelving, mezzanines, or internal fit-outs (partitioning, ceilings, etc.). Candidates with other relevant construction and/or engineering experience are also welcomed.
- Strong negotiation, organisation and communication skills.
- Understanding of contract conditions.
- A confident communicator, equally comfortable discussing load capacities and talking a client through their options.
- Organised and calm under pressure, able to juggle several projects without dropping the ball.
- Someone who takes ownership, you see a project through from first line to final handover.
