·Collaborate with topographical survey data to produce accurate, scaled plans for design and engineering purposes.
·Ensure all CAD deliverables align with technical specifications, planning requirements, and industry best practices.
·Liaise with multidisciplinary teams, including transport planners, engineers, environmental specialists, topographical surveyors, and external stakeholders to coordinate design work.
·Contribute to site feasibility assessments and support pre-planning and post-consent phases for residential infrastructure design.
Ideal Candidate Profile
·Experience as a CAD Technician or similar, with hands-on work in highways layout and drainage design, ideally in residential developments or SUDS schemes.
·Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D, and familiarity with producing topographical site plans.
·Strong understanding of flood risk, drainage strategies, and how these integrate within broader infrastructure design projects.
·Highly organised and detail-oriented, with a proactive, collaborative approach to solving design challenges.
·Excellent communication skills, able to coordinate effectively across teams and deliver clear, accurate technical outputs.
·A passion for continuous professional development and contributing to sustainable, cost-effective design solutions-aligned with a consultancy known for innovative infrastructure and environmental services.

·Be part of a multidisciplinary team that brings technical expertise, advanced knowledge, and strategic insight to all stages of project delivery.
·Benefit from a supportive culture with excellent career development, from technical progression and exposure to diverse project types to potential for hybrid or flexible working.
·Work on designs that help shape sustainable, liveable environments-from residential roads and drainage networks to flood-resilient infrastructure.CAD TechnicianWoking Posted about 14 hours agoShare this jobSign up for job alertsIf you are a human, ignore this fieldCreate alertYou agree to ourLatest JobsBasingstokePermanent - Full Time£40k - 50k per yearGreater LondonContract - Full Time£28 - 31 per hourSouthamptonPermanent - Full Time£35k per yearWokingPermanent - Full Time£28k - 35k per yearLondonContract - Full Time£55 per hourStart your job search hereAtoms/Icons/Search/MG-02@1xAtoms/Icons/Search/MG-02@1xPolicyContact Us:Portsmouth - Lakeside North Harbour
