Are you a CAD Designer or Project Manager from a bespoke joinery background, looking for a clear route to Design Manager with a competitive package, autonomy to make your mark and high-end projects, at a business backed to grow?
As the go-to CAD Designer, you'll take ownership of the development of manufacture-ready drawings across a broad range of bespoke joinery projects - working closely with internal teams to ensure every design is accurate, practical and ready for production.
Following a recent acquisition and significant financial backing, this joinery manufacturer is entering an exciting new chapter - full order book, bright future and a real opportunity to help shape it. You’ll support the roll-out of 3D CAD software across the business and help build the drawing office team, with a clear scope to progress to Design Manager as the department grows.
