The opportunity

We’re looking for a Trainee CAD Technician to join Guardian Electrical Compliance, supporting our field engineers by updating existing electrical schematics and creating new circuit diagrams using AutoCAD 2D.

This is a genuine entry-level role. We’ll teach you everything you need to know — what matters most is curiosity, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn by doing.

• Learning industry standards and best practice around electrical schematics

• Developing your technical skills through hands-on training and formal qualifications

• A positive, “roll-your-sleeves-up” attitude

• A genuine interest in technical or electrical work

• The ability to pick things up quickly and enjoy learning on the job

• A team-first mindset

Nice to have (but not essential):

• Some exposure to AutoCAD

• College studies in electrical engineering or a related subject

The workplace

• Office based on the outskirts of Sheffield

• Free on-site parking (limited public transport nearby)

• Modern canteen with tea & coffee, microwave and toaster

• Friendly, supportive team environment

What you’ll get in return

• 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays

• Full training, including a recognised City & Guilds qualification

• Long-term career prospects and job security

• Life assurance (3x salary)

• Access to Vivup discounts (gym memberships, holidays, major retailers)
