Senior Civil CAD TechnicianLeeds - Hybrid Permanent - Full Time Salary Competitive (DOE) & Flexible Benefits Role Purpose: The Senior Technician is responsible for the accurate, coordinated, and timely delivery of discipline-specific digital technical information in support of project delivery. The role sits at the intersection of engineering design intent and digital production, ensuring that models and graphical information are developed correctly, consistently, and in a way that supports coordination, construction, and downstream use. The Senior Technician provides hands-on technical leadership within their discipline at project level, translating engineering requirements into reliable digital outputs while maintaining alignment with agreed standards and project constraints. This is a delivery-focused role with accountability for discipline outputs on live projects, requiring strong technical capability, sound understanding of design and construction workflows, and the judgement to identify and resolve issues before they impact programme, coordination, or quality. Some of the key deliverables in this role will include: Discipline Delivery and Accountability Take ownership of discipline-specific digital deliverables on assigned projects. Ensure models and graphical outputs are produced in accordance with project requirements, programme, and agreed standards. Translate engineering design intent into accurate, buildable, and coordinated digital information. Ensure outputs are suitable for coordination, construction, and handover, not just internal design use. Coordination and Integration Ensure discipline outputs integrate effectively with other disciplines and support overall project coordination. Respond to coordination outputs, clash detection results, and project feedback in a timely and controlled manner. Identify coordination, constructability, and sequencing issues early, escalating where required. Work closely with BIM Coordinators to support effective model federation and coordination outcomes. Quality Assurance and Control Apply checking and review processes to ensure information is accurate, complete, and fit for purpose prior to issue. Maintain control of revisions, ensuring changes are clearly understood, coordinated, and implemented correctly. Ensure outputs comply with agreed standards, templates, and configuration requirements. Take responsibility for the quality of discipline outputs and resolve issues before escalation. Standards and Ways of Working Apply Technical Drawing Office standards, templates, and workflows consistently across all outputs. Ensure correct use of approved templates, title blocks, model structures, and configuration settings. Support the consistent application of standards across discipline teams. Provide feedback to the Principal Technician and Head of Technical Drawing Office where improvements are required. Team Leadership and Support Provide day-to-day technical leadership to Technicians and Assistant Technicians within the discipline. Allocate tasks, review outputs, and provide guidance to ensure work is delivered correctly and efficiently. Support development of less experienced team members through mentoring and practical guidance. Promote a culture of accountability, consistency, and high-quality delivery.
