Cad Designer

Join a growing international marine engineering company delivering mechanical and electrical upgrades to cruise and commercial vessels across Europe and North America.

We’re looking for a talented CAD Designer to turn engineering concepts, client requirements, and site survey information into accurate, practical and installation-ready technical drawings.

Working alongside experienced Mechanical Engineers, Project Managers and designers, you’ll support projects from initial concept and tender design through to detailed engineering, installation and as-built documentation.

You don’t need previous mechanical or piping experience — what matters is your ability to produce high-quality CAD drawings, understand technical information and develop your skills within a specialist engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce accurate 2D and 3D CAD drawings for mechanical and piping installations

• Develop layouts, general arrangements, fabrication and installation drawings

• Create equipment, skid and support details

• Translate sketches, surveys and engineering information into clear CAD designs

• Amend and update drawings in line with project and client requirements

• Prepare drawings to support manufacture and installation

• Assist with site surveys and updating existing drawings

• Produce accurate as-built drawings following installation

• Work closely with engineers and project teams to deliver designs on time

• Contribute to CAD libraries and standardised design solutions

About You

You’ll be a technically minded CAD designer with excellent attention to detail and the ability to interpret information and turn it into accurate drawings.

Essential:

• Proven experience using CAD software

• Strong 2D and/or 3D drawing skills

• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy

• Ability to interpret sketches, drawings and technical information

• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines

• Good communication and teamwork skills

• A willingness to learn and develop within a specialist engineering environment

Desirable

• Experience with AutoCAD 3D, Navisworks, As-Built Suites or Scene

• Experience with other 3D design and modelling software

• Engineering, manufacturing or technical design experience

• Experience carrying out site surveys

No marine, mechanical or piping experience? No problem. If you’re a strong CAD designer with the right attitude and attention to detail, we’ll help you develop the specialist knowledge to take your skills into the marine engineering sector
