Understanding of engineering drawing standards and tolerances
Advanced skills in AutoCAD plus one 3D package
Able to read engineers' mark-ups and ask the right questions
National Diploma or N6 in Mechanical, Civil or Electrical Engineering, or a draughting qualification
Neat and accurate, with a habit of checking your own work
At least 2 years working as a draughtsperson in your discipline

Helpful, not essential

Revit or Civil 3D experience

What you get

Latest CAD software licences
Hybrid work once you are settled in
