      The Opportunity

      We are recruiting for 1 x CAD Engineer to support the delivery of major UK nuclear projects. Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you’ll be responsible for producing and developing 3D design models for electrical installation and cable routing packages.

      This is an excellent opportunity for a junior to mid-level CAD Engineer looking to develop their experience within a major nuclear engineering environment.

      Responsibilities

      • Produce and develop 3D CAD models for electrical installation and cable routing packages.
      • Support the design and coordination of cable routing and cable tray layouts within a multidisciplinary environment.
      • Ensure designs comply with project, quality and nuclear industry standards.
      • Assist with resolving design clashes and developing practical engineering solutions.
      • Support design reviews and provide technical input throughout project delivery.
      • Work closely with engineers and other members of the design team to deliver project requirements.

      Requirements

      • Previous experience working as a CAD Engineer / Designer within the nuclear, engineering or similar highly regulated sector.
      • Experience working with 3D CAD / modelling software.
      • AVEVA or PDMS experience is preferred, but candidates with strong transferable CAD experience will also be considered.
      • Experience producing 3D design models for electrical or multidisciplinary engineering projects.
      • Understanding of cable routing, cable tray layouts and/or BIM coordination would be beneficial.
      • Good attention to detail and the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
      • Candidates with less experience but strong CAD capability are encouraged to apply.

      If you’re a junior to mid-level CAD Engineer looking for a long-term opportunity within the nuclear sector, we’d love to hear from you.
