2 x CAD Designers | Essex | £26,000 – £40,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Our client, a respected design and manufacturing specialist, is growing. They’re now looking to welcome two new CAD Designers into their busy Essex studio — one focused on early-stage design and client collaboration, the other on production and fabrication design.

This is a chance to join a company that’s built its success on quality, trust and long-term relationships. A place where designers stay for years, not months. Where projects move from sketch to production under one roof — and where good work genuinely gets noticed.

The Roles

Each position offers its own rhythm, but both are united by precision, technical understanding and collaboration.

Design Development – Front-End CAD Designer
You’ll work closely with clients and project leads, developing layout plans, GAs and detailed design schemes in AutoCAD. It’s a role for someone who enjoys problem-solving, interpreting briefs and turning concepts into intelligent, buildable plans.

Fabrication Design – Production CAD Designer
This side focuses on design for manufacture. You’ll create detailed models and fabrication drawings in SolidWorks, helping translate bespoke ideas into tangible, precision-engineered products. Perfect for someone with a technical mindset and a love for accuracy and detail.

Why Join

• Competitive salary range: £26,000 – £40,000, depending on experience

• Annual bonus scheme, circa 4 figures.

• Nest pension enrolment

• 20 days annual leave, plus bank holidays

• Supportive and close-knit team culture — no micromanagement, no egos

• Clear progression routes with mentoring from senior designers

• Flexibility post-probation for appointments and home-working where appropriate

• Secure, long-standing company with a healthy project pipeline and loyal client base

Who You Are

Whether you’re just starting your CAD career or already operating at midweight level, this is a place to grow. You might come from manufacturing, M&E, joinery, or interior design, with strong AutoCAD or SolidWorks skills and a passion for design and delivery.

More than software knowledge, it’s your curiosity, precision, and pride in producing high-quality work that will make you stand out.

The Environment

You’ll be based full-time in a collaborative Essex studio, working closely with design, fabrication and delivery teams. It’s an open, encouraging environment where people are trusted, supported and valued and where design really matters.

If you’re a CAD Designer looking for hands-on experience, career development and a business that values design and detail in equal measure, this is the opportunity.
