Take Technical Ownership of Permanent Modular Projects

Are you an experienced Architectural Technician looking for a role where your drawings genuinely drive construction delivery, not just production output?

This is an opportunity to join a specialist modular construction consultancy delivering permanent modular buildings across public sector projects nationwide.

Working within a small, technically-led team, you will take ownership of drawing packages from concept through to construction issue. This is not a production CAD role. It is a technically accountable position where your coordination decisions directly influence programme, compliance and buildability.

The business operates as Principal Designer and Principal Contractor under CDM regulations and delivers Design & Build modular schemes across education, healthcare, social housing and commercial sectors.

What Makes This Role Different

• Full lifecycle involvement – concept to construction issue


• High autonomy and direct Director reporting


• Lean, technically focused team


• Permanent modular building projects – not manufacturing detailing


• Real influence over coordination of foundations, drainage and civils interfaces

You will be trusted to manage your workload independently and deliver accurate, coordinated construction packages aligned to programme.

The Role – Architectural Technician

As Architectural Technician, you will:

• Produce coordinated GA drawings and full construction drawing packages


• Develop modular building layouts and optimise configurations


• Coordinate foundation requirements and drainage interfaces within designs


• Ensure compliance with UK Building Regulations and CDM requirements


• Liaise with structural engineers, consultants and local authorities


• Update drawings in line with site constraints and client feedback


• Maintain drawing registers and version control documentation


• Support planning and technical submissions


• Assist with resolving technical queries during live project delivery


• Attend site visits and surveys when required

Technical Requirements

To be considered for this Architectural Technician role, you must have:

• Strong AutoCAD capability


• Experience producing coordinated GA and construction drawing packages


• Understanding of UK Building Regulations


• Experience coordinating foundations, drainage and civils interfaces


• Confidence working independently within a small team environment

Desirable Experience

• Modular construction background


• Architectural consultancy experience


• Experience operating under CDM framework


• Revit exposure


• Experience liaising directly with consultants and local authorities

Working Environment

• Scarborough town centre office location


• Office-based role – no hybrid working


• 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm


• Small team structure with direct Director reporting

Salary & Benefits

• £45,000 – £50,000


• 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays


• Company pension scheme


• Stable pipeline of repeat public sector work


• Long-term permanent position
