CAD Engineer

About the Role Our client is a specialist provider of industrial air quality consultancy and engineered solutions, with decades of experience designing, manufacturing, and installing bespoke dust and fume extraction systems. Serving sectors from pharmaceuticals and food processing to welding, woodworking, and chemical manufacturing, our client prides itself on delivering "right-first-time" systems that meet stringent global safety and environmental standards. As a CAD Engineer, you will be instrumental in creating detailed 3D models and 2D drawings that translate project concepts into manufacturable, installable engineering solutions. You'll collaborate closely with design, engineering, and project teams to ensure compliance with ATEX, COSHH, and other regulatory requirements. If you're passionate about technical accuracy, design efficiency, and environmental safety, this role offers a compelling opportunity to engineer systems that protect both people and the planet. Key Responsibilities Develop precise 3D CAD models and 2D fabrication drawings for ductwork, extraction systems, structural support, and assemblies. Interpret engineering briefs and collaborate with engineers and consultants to refine layouts and mechanical systems, ensuring efficient dust/fume extraction performance. Adapt existing designs to accommodate diverse industries-biomass, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, welding fumes, wood/paper dust, plastics, and more.
