Join Our Team as a CAD Technician — Because 150 Years of Construction Glory Deserves Your Drawing Skills
A leading construction company with over 150 years of history (yes, we’ve been around longer than most family heirlooms) is on the hunt for a talented CAD Technician to join our Technical Department in the glamorous land of Ipswich.
We're looking for someone technically minded, ideally from a Construction or Architectural background — basically, someone who gets excited by straight lines, accurate measurements, and the smell of fresh blueprints.
Must-haves:
* Solid working knowledge of CAD (you should know your layers from your line types).
* Strong computer literacy (you and your keyboard: best friends forever).
* Ability to understand architectural drawings — squinting at them and guessing does not count.
Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):
* Produce, check, and process incoming design drawing requests, technical documentation, and technical calculations (a thrilling trifecta!).
* Liaise with clients and Area Technical Managers — don’t worry, they’re friendly.
* Develop a detailed understanding of Industry Codes of Practice & Building Regulations — the bedtime reading you never knew you needed.
* Get familiar with Part L & Thermal Calculations — because buildings like to stay warm too.
* Bring a team-oriented approach (team players > lone wolves).
* Understand specification construction, survey reports, and construction drawings — your daily workout for the brain.
Your Superpowers:
* A good grasp of specification construction, survey reports, and construction drawings (yes, we’re mentioning it again because it’s really that important).
* Ability to read and understand architectural drawings — essential, non-negotiable, we mean it.
* Basic CAD skills — if you can draw a line without breaking into a sweat, we’re off to a great start.
* Excellent spelling and grammar — because “steel” and “steal” are very different things.
* Technically minded, logical, precise — the kind of person who notices when a picture frame is 2 millimetres off-centre.
* Knowledge of building fabric, industry standards & codes of practice — you don't need to knit a house, just understand how it stays up.
* Analytical approach — you enjoy solving problems more than creating themDo not include the following in your job application, CV, or cover letter:
You should not be asked for payment or irrelevant information. If you have concerns about a job advert or employer, seek guidance on how to proceed.
