Computer Aided Design Designer

Location: Milton Keynes, UK

About the Opportunity

We aren’t just building structures; we are redefining the built environment. Our mission is to deliver carbon-negative, climate-resilient infrastructure through precision engineering and rapid-assembly manufacturing. As a systems-led organization, we challenge the status quo across Rail, Energy, and Defence sectors.

We are looking for a CAD Technician who wants their work to have a tangible impact. You will be responsible for creating the digital blueprints for our modular, panelised building systems, ensuring that every component from substation housing to rapid-deploy workspaces is designed for net-zero performance and manufacturing excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• High-Precision Modeling: Develop detailed 2D and 3D CAD models for our modular assemblies and panellised systems, maintaining tolerances as tight as +/- 2mm.
• DfMA Focus: Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA). Create layouts and part drawings that facilitate rapid on-site assembly and efficient off-site manufacturing.
• Engineering Translation: Interpret complex technical concepts and sketches from engineers to create “Plug & Play” documentation for manufacturing and installation teams.
• Lifecycle Documentation: Prepare accurate Bill of Materials (BOMs) and maintain drawing registers with strict version control to support 60-year+ design-life durability.
• Standards & Compliance: Ensure all designs comply with UK building regulations, net-zero standards (EPC Rating A targets), and fire safety codes (A1/A2 ratings).
• Iterative Design: Collaborate with the project team to revise drawings based on feedback, structural calculations, and evolving site requirements.
• Quality Assurance: Conduct rigorous quality checks to ensure drawings are “right first time,” reducing waste and operational interruptions for our clients.

Skills & Qualifications

• CAD Mastery: Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar) is essential.
• Technical Rigour: Strong attention to detail with the ability to perform basic design calculations and tolerance analysis.
• Industry Knowledge: An understanding of (or interest in) Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), structural metalwork, or sustainable building systems.
• Proactive Collaborator: Comfortable working in an agile, innovative environment where you interface directly with engineers and project managers.
• Digital Literacy: Strong skills in MS Office and an organized approach to digital file management.
