CAD Designer / CAD Technician

Location: Markham Vale, Chesterfield (Full-Time, Office Based - 5 Days per Week)

Salary: £25,000 - £40,000 + Benefits

About the Role

Are you a graduate looking to kick-start your career, or an experienced CAD Designer or CAD Technician looking for your next challenge? We're recruiting at a range of levels, so whether you're just starting out or already have commercial experience, we'd love to hear from you.

We're looking for proactive and detail-oriented individuals to join our client's growing team, supporting the design and delivery of bespoke engineering solutions. Whether you've gained your experience through university, an apprenticeship or in industry, this is an excellent opportunity to develop your career within a supportive and growing business.

This role is ideal for someone with experience or exposure to 2D/3D CAD, Revit or BIM who enjoys turning customer requirements into practical technical designs while working closely with sales, engineering and customers.

This isn't a purely desk-based CAD role. As well as producing drawings and layouts, you'll collaborate with the sales and engineering teams to develop technical solutions, support quotations and estimates, and play an important role in projects from initial enquiry through to completion. We're looking for someone who enjoys variety, is happy to get involved wherever needed and thrives in a collaborative team environment.

About You

We're open to graduates as well as candidates with commercial experience.

You'll ideally have exposure to some or all of the following:

• 2D and 3D CAD design.
• AutoCAD, Revit, BIM, SolidWorks or similar CAD software.
• Producing or working within BIM models (desirable).
• Reading and interpreting engineering or construction drawings.
• Creating technical drawings and documentation.
• Supporting quotations, estimates or technical proposals.
• Working alongside sales, estimating or project teams.
• A Degree, HNC/HND or apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, Design Engineering or a related discipline (or equivalent commercial experience).
• Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills.
• Good communication skills and a collaborative approach.
• A proactive attitude, willingness to learn and a desire to build a long-term career.

Whether your experience comes from engineering, manufacturing, construction, building services, fabrication, HVAC or another technical environment, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

• Salary of £25,000 - £40,000, depending on experience.
• The opportunity to join a growing and successful business.
• A varied role combining technical design, customer interaction and project support.
• Ongoing training and career development.
• A supportive and collaborative working environment.
• Long-term career progression opportunities.
