The opportunity

We’re looking for a Trainee CAD Technician to join Guardian Electrical Compliance, supporting our field engineers by updating existing electrical schematics and creating new circuit diagrams using AutoCAD 2D.

This is a genuine entry‑level role. We’ll teach you everything you need to know — what matters most is curiosity, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn by doing.

You’ll be part of a close-knit team of five, with a friendly, supportive culture where people help each other succeed.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Producing and updating electrical circuit drawings using AutoCAD 2D
  • Working closely with field‑based engineers to keep drawings accurate and up to date
  • Learning industry standards and best practice around electrical schematics
  • Developing your technical skills through hands‑on training and formal qualifications

What We’re Looking For

This role is all about potential. You might be right for us if you have:

  • A positive, “roll‑your‑sleeves‑up” attitude
  • A genuine interest in technical or electrical work
  • The ability to pick things up quickly and enjoy learning on the job
  • A team‑first mindset

Nice to have (but not essential)

  • Some exposure to AutoCAD
  • College studies in electrical engineering or a related subject

The workplace

  • Office based on the outskirts of Sheffield
  • Free on‑site parking (limited public transport nearby)
  • Modern canteen with tea & coffee, microwave and toaster
  • Friendly, supportive team environment

What You’ll Get In Return

  • 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays
  • Full training, including a recognised City & Guilds qualification
  • Long‑term career prospects and job security
  • Life assurance (3x salary)
  • Access to Vivup discounts (gym memberships, holidays, major retailers)
