Track & Third Rail CAD Operator
We are seeking a Track & Third Rail CAD Operator to support the delivery of accurate, safe and compliant design information for rail infrastructure projects. Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will produce and update detailed CAD drawings and models relating to track layouts, third rail systems, conductor rail arrangements, bonding, earthing and associated railway assets. You will interpret engineering sketches, survey information, specifications and design instructions, ensuring that all drawings are prepared to the required technical and project standards.
Your responsibilities will include creating general arrangements, plans, sections, detail drawings and installation documentation; incorporating design changes and red-line amendments; maintaining drawing registers and revision records; and checking your own work for accuracy, consistency and completeness. You will liaise with engineers, surveyors, construction teams and other design disciplines to resolve technical queries and coordinate interfaces. The role will also involve supporting design reviews, assisting with document control, identifying potential clashes or discrepancies, and ensuring that outputs are delivered within agreed timescales. A strong understanding of rail environments, track components and third rail or conductor rail systems is essential, alongside a clear commitment to health, safety, quality and environmental requirements.
Applicants should have proven experience using AutoCAD or comparable CAD software, ideally within a rail, transport, infrastructure or engineering environment. Experience with MicroStation, BIM platforms or 3D modelling tools would be advantageous. You will need strong attention to detail, the ability to interpret technical information, and confidence working independently while contributing effectively to a wider team. Knowledge of railway standards, electrical clearances, isolation requirements and safe systems of work would be beneficial. Relevant technical qualifications or equivalent practical experience are welcomed. The successful candidate must be organised, adaptable and able to manage competing priorities while maintaining a consistently high standard of technical accuracy.
