Produce basic AutoCAD drawings for colleagues to support planning applications and working drawings.

Return to customers to obtain signed working drawings and VoC documentation.

Attend site on the first day of fit to introduce the fitting team to the customer and complete a thorough handover.

Prepare survey documentation for HSE / CDM 2015 requirements.

Maintain accurate records, update the company database, and provide weekly reporting/working drawings as required.

Provide technical and pricing support to Sales Designers and build strong cross-department relationships.
