Civil CAD technician

Civil CAD technicians produce the detailed drawings and models that civil engineering projects are built from, working from engineers' designs and markups. The work is precise and software-based: drafting plans, sections, and details, adapting them to site-specific constraints, and ensuring drawing sets meet regulatory standards.

They work for engineering consultancies and contractors, supporting design teams. The role suits careful, detail-oriented people with strong CAD skills who take pride in clean, accurate, well-organised drawings that others can build from without ambiguity.
