CAD Technician vacancy with manufacturing engineering company offering great prospects for long term career stability and growth (also known as CAD Draughtsperson).

Our award winning manufacturing engineering business on the outskirts of Yate, Bristol, is growing. Following investment in design, and through building very strong partnerships with our customers, we’re continuing to move into new and exciting markets, right at the forefront of new technologies.

We're a small to medium sized engineering company on a journey of achieving great things, and we're excited to be looking to hire a new CAD Technician on a permanent basis to join our team.

Could you be our newest employee?

You won’t necessarily have heard of us because jobs don't come up here very often. This only happens if one of our team retires or when we're growing, and this time one of our highly respected team has decided to log out of SolidWorks for the last time to enjoy a well-deserved retirement. You will have heard of some of our customers, but not all, because we make some specialist equipment for industries which often operate behind the scenes, whilst still making a big difference to people all over the world.

We're a friendly team. We work hard to make very high quality products for our customers and we're proud of the work we do. With good investment in software, machinery and our people, and with clean, and well organised premises plus good managerial support and all the tools and software we need, we get the job done to a very high standard.

We’re now in a great position to take on a new CAD Technician to join our growing team to support all CAD drawing matters for the design of mechanical equipment to be made on our premises.

By joining us, you'll enjoy:

+ Using SolidWorks to design new products and components, plus any related jigs, fixtures and supporting material
+ Working in smart, clean, well organised and well-equipped premises
+ Easy access to all the software and equipment you need to do your best work
+ Encouraging technical assistance always available
+ Long term job security working for a truly market leading company
+ Creating drawings of our own original mechanical equipment for a range of specialist applications
+ Joining a growing, forward-looking company where regular and continuous investment in the future is an important part of what we do

What experience will you need as our new CAD Technician?
We're open to considering your application whether you're relatively early in your career as a CAD Technician, or perhaps you're more experienced and you're interested applying your skills in a forward thinking small to medium sized company with a family feel.

Either way, you’ll be comfortable with using SolidWorks to create CAD drawings. You’ll be happy in maintaining historic drawings too, and in carefully recording any changes.

You’ll probably have more than two years’ experience of working as a CAD Technician but if you have the skills already in less time, then we'll welcome your application too.

Job title: CAD Technician
Location: On the outskirts of Yate. Commutable from Chipping Sodbury, Bradley Stoke, Thornbury, Tetbury, Dursley and surrounding areas.
Working hours: 39 hour working week, day shift, early finish on Fridays.
Pay rate: As a guide, we're looking to pay around £32,000 depending on your skills and experience. We're happy to discuss your requirements too.
Contract type: Permanent
