About You

You are an experienced Technical Designer who enjoys bridging the gap between creative vision and practical delivery. You understand how great design is realised through intelligent detailing, efficient construction methods, and clear technical communication.

Working remotely, you are naturally organised, self-motivated, and accountable. You take ownership of your projects, manage your workload effectively, and confidently seek out the information required to keep projects moving.

Rather than simply drafting what you're given, you think critically about how something will be built, identifying potential issues before they arise and proposing practical solutions. You are comfortable working to milestone-driven programmes, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and producing technical documentation that enables smooth fabrication and installation.

If you thrive in a fast-paced design and build environment and enjoy delivering exceptional projects, we'd love to hear from you.
