We are on the lookout for a CAD Technician to join a long-established electronic security systems integrator, working on the design and documentation of CCTV, access control and perimeter intruder detection systems (PIDS) across some of the UK's most secure environments, custodial, critical national infrastructure, energy, healthcare and stadia.
This is a design-focused role for someone who enjoys producing accurate, buildable drawings and 3D models. You'll work alongside design engineers and project managers, turning survey data and system specifications into the drawing packs installation teams work from. Decades of heritage behind the business and a client base that isn't going anywhere, with the flexibility of a fully remote setup.
