This is a design-focused role for someone who enjoys producing accurate, buildable drawings and 3D models. You'll work alongside design engineers and project managers, turning survey data and system specifications into the drawing packs installation teams work from. Decades of heritage behind the business and a client base that isn't going anywhere, with the flexibility of a fully remote setup.

Key Responsibilities:

\n
• Interpret survey data, architectural drawings and system specifications into accurate technical documentation.
\n
• Produce panel layouts, rack elevations and equipment schedules to support procurement and installation.

• Maintain drawing registers, revision control and document issue in line with project and client standards.
\n
• Update drawing packs through the project lifecycle, including as-built handover documentation.
\n
• Support tender activity with early-stage concept drawings where required.
\n

Requirements:

\n
• Demonstrable AutoCAD experience within an engineering, security, electrical or building services environment.
\n
• Eligibility for SC clearance and NPPV3 police vetting (UK residency requirements apply).
\n
• Ability to read and interpret architectural, electrical and technical drawings.
\n
• Confident working to drawing standards, revision control and document management processes.

Desirable:

\n
• Revit and 3D modelling capability
\n
• Electronic security background (CCTV, access control, intruder, PIDS)
\n
• Experience on custodial, CNI, defence or nuclear projects
\n
