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.

• 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.

• 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.
