Job Description

Job Specification for:

CAD Manager We are looking for a talented and proactive CAD Manager to take a leading role in the production and

coordination of MEP designs across a wide range of projects — from small-scale refurbishments to

large housing, education, and commercial developments.

As an integral member of our Croydon-based team, you’ll ensure our drawings, models, and design

information meet the highest technical and quality standards, working closely with engineers in Croydon

and our Manila office to deliver coordinated, accurate, and timely outputs that supports the success of

every project.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a driven CAD professional with an eye for detail, who values technical

excellence, team collaboration, and the satisfaction of seeing high-quality designs come to life.

• Translate engineers’ mark-ups and briefs into clear, high-quality CAD drawings.

• Manage MEP drawings, models, worksets, and sheets to project and company standards.

• Ensure effective coordination across MEP, architectural, and structural disciplines.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Liaise daily with the engineers to understand project deadlines and receive incoming CAD

Requests

review of incoming CAD Requests each morning to ensure consistency of output.

• Undertake CAD duties and drawings production within the Croydon Office throughout the day.

• Mentor and provide technical guidance to CAD technicians.

• Support engineers at design team and client meetings, contributing to project coordination and

technical discussions.

Quality, Standards & Process

• Follow and enhance QA and BIM processes in line with company standards.

• Maintain compliance with Building Regulations, British Standards, and industry best practice

(CIBSE, BSRIA, UK BIM Framework, ISO 19650).

• Ensure all drawings and models are stored and managed in accordance with company

document control and digital engineering procedures.

• Ensure document control by managing published outbox and document issue sheets for each

project

Skills & Experience Required

• 5–10 years’ proven experience producing MEP drawings using AutoCAD.

• Strong understanding of building services, coordination, and construction processes.

• Experience working in a small to medium-sized consulting engineering practice.

• Experience in managing and providing drawings production across multiple projects and

deadlines.

• Confident in setting up and managing 2D layouts, schematic drawings, and MEP models.

• Excellent communication and organisational skills, with strong attention to detail.

• Commercial awareness and understanding of project delivery and deadlines.

• Knowledge of Building Regulations, CDM Regulations, and British Standards.

• A collaborative mindset with the ability to work across teams and disciplines.

Software Skills

• AutoCAD – essential

• Revit – preferred

• Navisworks – preferred

• Microsoft Excel / Word – essential

• IES – desirable (not essential)

Why This Role Matters

As CAD Manager, you will be a pivotal role in our design delivery process — the person ensuring that

every drawing, model, and coordination effort meets the technical precision and professional standards

our clients expect.

Your leadership in maintaining drawing quality, managing information flow, and mentoring others will

directly influence our efficiency, reputation, and the success of every project we deliver.

You will also be central to fostering a strong and collaborative relationship with our Manila team,

ensuring they feel valued and supported as integral members of the business. Through open

communication, balanced workloads, and effective coordination between both offices, you will help

maintain a seamless and unified approach to design delivery.
