Highway and roads CAD Designer

Reference: 3d3fhrv6y0g8yfmwsukv

We are seeking a Highway and Roads CAD Designer to support the development and delivery of transport infrastructure projects. This role will involve producing accurate, detailed computer-aided design drawings and technical documentation for highways, roads, junctions, drainage systems, footways, cycleways and associated infrastructure. You will work closely with engineers, project managers, surveyors and other technical specialists to translate design concepts into clear, buildable drawings that meet project requirements, relevant standards and safety expectations.

Your duties will include preparing and updating 2D and, where required, 3D drawings using appropriate CAD software; developing general arrangement, construction, setting-out and detail drawings; incorporating survey information and design changes; and maintaining drawing registers, revision control and document quality. You will review drawings for accuracy, consistency and compliance before issue, respond to technical comments, and assist with resolving design coordination matters. The role may also involve extracting quantities, supporting design reports, contributing to technical submissions and ensuring all work is completed in accordance with agreed programmes and quality procedures.

Applicants should have proven experience in a highways, roads, civil engineering or related design environment, with a strong understanding of engineering drawing principles and technical specifications. Proficiency in AutoCAD is essential, while experience with Civil 3D, MicroStation, OpenRoads or similar design and modelling platforms would be advantageous. You should be able to interpret survey data, engineering calculations and design information, and demonstrate excellent attention to detail. Strong communication and organisational skills are important, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. A relevant technical qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable.
