Trainee CAD Technician

Trainee CAD Technician Location: Ashbourne, Derbyshire

Permanent | Full-Time

Are you technically minded, good with computers and interested in building a career in CAD and design ?

The Agency is working with a well-established manufacturer in the Ashbourne area that is looking for someone to join its technical team in a Trainee CAD Technician position.

This isn't a role where you're expected to arrive knowing everything. You'll be joining an experienced team who will teach you the products, systems and technical knowledge you need to become confident in the position.

We're therefore open to different backgrounds. You might have studied engineering or design, used CAD at college or university, or already have some experience in a technical environment and be looking for your next step.

What does the job involve? You'll spend your time working with drawings and project information, turning requirements into accurate designs that can be used by other areas of the business.

As your experience grows, you'll be involved in:

Creating and updating drawings using AutoCAD

Working from measurements, specifications and other technical information

Checking drawings carefully for accuracy

Making changes to designs as projects develop

Working with colleagues across design, manufacturing and other departments

Learning how products are designed and manufactured

Preparing technical information required by the wider business

Keeping projects and drawing information organised

Managing your own workload and deadlines

Taking on more responsibility as your technical knowledge develops

Who would this suit? We're not looking for years of experience.

More important is someone who is accurate, switched-on, comfortable using computers and genuinely interested in learning a technical role .

You could come from an engineering, construction, architecture, manufacturing, product design or similar background, but we're happy to consider other routes too.

Some previous exposure to AutoCAD or CAD software would be beneficial, whether that's through work, education or personal projects.
