We operate from a modern, purpose-built workshop and have a friendly, down-to-earth team where design and production work closely together.

Due to continued growth, we're looking for a Draftsman to join our team.

The Role

This is a practical drafting role where you'll take customer requirements, sketches, samples, or existing drawings and turn them into accurate working drawings ready for production.

Your day-to-day work will include:

• Creating and modifying CAD drawings for manufacture.
• Reading and interpreting technical and engineering drawings.
• Working with customers to understand their requirements.
• Preparing drawings from sketches, samples, or existing designs.
• Checking dimensions, tolerances, and specifications for accuracy.
• Working closely with our CNC and production team to resolve any drawing or manufacturing queries.
• Updating drawings and documentation when changes are required.
• Using our More Manufacturing system to create and manage work orders.
• Following our quality, ISO 9001, and Health & Safety procedures.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience in CAD drafting, technical drawing, or a similar role.
• Can confidently read and interpret technical drawings.
• Has excellent attention to detail and takes pride in producing accurate work.
• Has a practical understanding of how parts are manufactured.
• Is comfortable communicating with customers and workshop staff.
• Is organised and able to manage multiple jobs at once.
• Has good problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn.
• Experience within CNC machining, engineering, plastics, or manufacturing would be an advantage.
• Machining experience would be an advantage but isn't essential.
• Ability to measure and inspect components precisely to produce detailed working drawings.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay based on skills and experience.
• A friendly, established and supportive team.
• A varied role where you'll see your drawings become finished components.
• Opportunities to develop your skills and grow within the business.

If you're a practical Draftsman who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and working closely with a production team, we'd like to hear from you.
