Canvas Offices creates characterful, design-led flexible workspaces across London. Our Property Development team manages the design, development, and evolution of our portfolio, and we're building a long-term relationship with a freelance CAD technician to support us with ad-hoc space-planning requests and layout changes.
About the role
Most requests are small, well-defined jobs on existing measured-survey DWGs, already set up to our drawing and brand standards, with a clear brief and access to our team for questions. Typical jobs take one to three hours. This isn't just about drawing what's asked — you'll assess whether a layout actually works and flag anything that doesn't.
- Testing furniture layouts, desk capacities, and meeting room configurations
- Assessing partition changes and whether a client's requested layout is feasible
- Considering circulation, accessibility, clearances, capacity, and user experience, and flagging (not resolving) any power, data, lighting, HVAC, or MEP implications
- Delivering an updated DWG and PDF, plus a clear note on any concerns, assumptions, or feasibility issues
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Most jobs carry a two-working-day turnaround from brief to delivery, so responsiveness matters — we need someone who can acknowledge new requests promptly. You're welcome to decline individual jobs when your workload doesn't allow, and to flag ahead of time when you're unavailable.
About you
- Strong 2D AutoCAD skills and good technical drawing standards
- Good spatial awareness and an understanding of space planning
- Confident questioning a brief rather than simply reproducing it, with a basic awareness of how layout changes affect MEP, access, and circulation
- Clear written communication, strong time management, and reliability
- Based in or near London, with the flexibility to take on short-turnaround jobs regularly

- Remote-first work, with occasional site visits where it helps
- Room to grow into larger renovation, test-fit, and drawing projects over time
