CAD Engineer

CAD Designer

Job Summary

We are seeking a CAD Designer to produce and manage detailed design drawings and models using SolidWorks, taking ownership of design tasks from concept through to manufacture-ready documentation. This role sits between drafting support and full design engineering, with scope to work more independently and contribute design input, but without commercial or client-facing responsibilities.

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed design drawings, models, and specifications for products and tooling
• Create and modify 2D and 3D models for structures, components, and systems
• Manage drawing catalogues and revisions, ensuring accessibility to engineering and other teams
• Work closely with engineers to capture tooling and manufacturing requirements
• Create and maintain plant/facility layout drawings
• Review and modify designs to meet quality standards and specifications
• Identify and flag design improvements or issues to senior engineering staff
• Prepare documentation for project and design reviews
• Provide technical input on drawings when queried by internal teams
  

Qualifications

• Proven proficiency in SolidWorks (or similar with a willingness to learn) and strong CAD skills
• Solid understanding of engineering principles, materials, and manufacturing techniques
• Experience producing manufacture-ready documentation, not just conceptual drawings
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in design work
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team
• Some prior industry experience preferred (but less than required for a full Design Engineer)
