• Prepare accurate, detailed, and consistent drawings and design documentation in accordance with relevant standards and specifications.
  
  
  


• Interpret and incorporate utilities, statutory undertaker, and other relevant information into technical highway designs.
  
  
  


• Review drawings, plans, surveys, and technical information to identify potential issues and ensure design accuracy.
  
  
  


• Undertake mapping, data analysis, statistical searches, and other data-driven activities to support highway planning and delivery.
  
  
  


• Work with engineering, planning, surveying, and other technical colleagues to develop and deliver effective design solutions.
  
  
  


• Ensure all CAD outputs and technical information are produced to a high level of accuracy and consistency.
  
  
  


• Manage allocated work independently, prioritising tasks and meeting agreed deadlines.
  
  
  


• Identify discrepancies, design issues, or missing information and take appropriate action to resolve them.

• Support the wider Highways Planned Delivery function with technical and design-related activities as required.
  
  
  


• Keep up to date with relevant CAD practices, highway design standards, technical requirements, and systems.
  
  
  


• Demonstrate a proactive and self-starting approach, contributing to the continuous improvement of design processes and ways of working.
  
  
  

Requirements

• Significant experience using CAD at a high level, particularly in a highway, civil engineering, or technical design environment.
  
  
  


• Proven ability to produce accurate and technically detailed highway or engineering designs.
  
  
  


• Strong understanding of technical highway design principles and engineering drawings.
  
  
  


• Experience interpreting utilities, statutory undertaker, and other infrastructure information and translating this into technical designs.
  
  
  


• Ability to work confidently with mapping systems, technical data, statistics, and other data-driven information.
  
  
  


• High level of accuracy and attention to detail, with a consistent approach to technical work.
  
  
  


• Ability to work independently and demonstrate initiative as a CAD self-starter.
  
  
  


• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage workload, prioritise tasks, and meet deadlines.
  
  
  


• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering, planning, surveying, and other professional teams.
