Draughtsperson
Heavy Civils & Earthworks (Contract) Major Infrastructure Project
The Opportunity
If you’re the type of Draughtsperson who takes pride in producing accurate drawings first time — not simply moving lines on a screen — this opportunity deserves your attention.
We’re seeking an experienced Contract Draughtsperson / CAD Technician to support delivery on a major heavy civil engineering project near Bridgwater.

Key responsibilities include:
Producing and updating construction drawings and as-built records
Interpreting and implementing engineer mark-ups and redlines
Supporting engineers with temporary and permanent works detailing

Ensuring all drawings reflect latest revisions and site changes
Working closely with site engineers to capture as-built information
Assisting with quality assurance and document control
Supporting coordination across multiple work sections About You
