      The Opportunity

      We are recruiting for a CAD Engineer to support the delivery of major UK nuclear projects.

      Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will be responsible for producing and developing 3D design models for electrical installation and cable routing packages.

      This is a great opportunity for an experienced mid-level CAD Engineer with strong 3D modelling capability and ideally experience working within nuclear or other highly regulated project environments.

      Responsibilities

      • Produce and develop 3D CAD models for electrical installation and cable routing packages.
      • Develop and coordinate cable routing and cable tray layouts within a multidisciplinary environment.
      • Produce accurate models in line with project, quality and engineering requirements.
      • Identify and resolve design clashes and develop practical engineering solutions.
      • Support design reviews and provide technical input throughout project delivery.
      • Work closely with engineers and other disciplines to deliver project requirements.

      Requirements

      • Proven experience as a CAD Engineer / CAD Designer within nuclear, engineering, construction or another highly regulated environment.
      • Strong experience using 3D CAD / modelling software.
      • AVEVA E3D or PDMS experience preferred.
      • Experience with cable tray, cable and/or process pipework routing.
      • Experience producing 3D models for electrical, mechanical, electrical or HVAC (MEH) projects.
      • Strong BIM / 3D modelling experience will be considered where direct E3D experience is limited.
      • HPC or similar major project experience would be highly advantageous.
      • Experience with other comparable 3D design/modelling packages will be considered.
      • Good understanding of multidisciplinary design coordination and clash resolution.

      If you’re a mid-level CAD Engineer with strong 3D modelling and routing experience looking for a long-term opportunity within the nuclear sector, we’d love to hear from you.
