Are you a CAD Technician looking for an opportunity to develop your technical design skills and work on a diverse range of projects?

We are currently recruiting for a CAD Technician to join an established and growing Design team based in Bradford. This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to develop beyond traditional drawing production and gain broader experience across technical design, drainage, earthworks, levels, and construction information.

Working closely with designers, engineers, project managers, and specialist consultants, you will play an important role in developing coordinated technical designs from initial concepts through to construction.

This is a varied role where you will have the opportunity to work across a diverse portfolio of UK based projects.

Key Responsibilities As CAD Technician

  • Prepare and develop General Arrangement drawings and associated technical information
  • Develop drainage designs, including layouts, pipe networks, chambers, falls, levels, and outfalls
  • Undertake earthworks and levels modelling, including proposed surfaces, gradients, and contours
  • Prepare cross sections, detailed construction build ups, and construction details
  • Develop coordinated technical drawing packages from concept through to construction
  • Interpret topographical surveys, site information, architectural layouts, and other technical documentation
  • Coordinate drainage, earthworks, levels, and associated infrastructure with other project disciplines
  • Work closely with Design and Development teams to develop practical and buildable technical solutions
  • Update drawings and designs in response to client comments and project requirements
  • Ensure drawings and technical information are produced accurately and to the required standards
  • Manage drawing revisions and contribute to the timely delivery of project information
  • Support multiple projects and manage workloads effectively

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
