CAD Technician
Warrington (Office-based)
£28,000 – £35,000 + Training & Progression
The Opportunity
We are working with a specialist engineering consultancy delivering high-quality, buildable design solutions across the UK and internationally. With a strong reputation in structural waterproofing, roofing systems, and sustainable drainage (SuDS), this is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, technically respected business.
This is not a standard CAD role. You’ll be producing detailed construction drawings for complex, real-world engineering projects where precision and coordination are critical.
The Job
As a CAD Technician, you will work closely with senior engineers to develop coordinated drawing packages for a variety of specialist construction applications.
You’ll translate marked-up drawings, sketches, and design calculations into clear, buildable CAD outputs, contributing directly to project delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce coordinated CAD drawing packages across multiple projects
- Develop detailed construction drawings including:
- GA plans, sections, and technical details
- Waterproofing zoning drawings
- Drainage layouts and invert schedules
- Setting out information
- Support designs for:
- Basement waterproofing (BS 8102)
- Podium decks and buried roofs
- Blue roofs and controlled drainage systems
- Green roofs and SuDS features
- Attenuation systems and geocellular tanks
- Coordinate drawings with architectural and structural information
- Manage drawing revisions through planning, tender, and construction stages
- Contribute to the development of the internal technical detail library
The Person
- HNC/HND (or equivalent) in a relevant design or engineering discipline
- Minimum 2 years’ experience in a CAD Technician role within construction (civil, structural, architectural, or roofing)
- Strong AutoCAD skills
- Experience producing detailed construction drawings (not just conceptual work)
- Ability to interpret and work from architect and engineer drawings
- Good organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects
Desirable (but not essential):
- Knowledge of drainage layouts and levels
- Experience with Revit or Civil 3D
- Exposure to waterproofing, roofing, or SuDS
The Offer
- Competitive salary (£28,000 – £35,000 depending on experience)
- Structured training and clear progression pathway
- Opportunity to work towards specialist qualifications (including structural waterproofing design)
- Mentorship from industry-recognised experts
- Exposure to diverse, high-profile projects
- Ongoing professional development support (courses & memberships)
- Collaborative and supportive team environment
- Office-based role in Warrington, with flexibility available once established
Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity for a CAD Technician looking to move beyond routine drafting into a specialist, technically challenging role with clear long-term progression.
