I’m currently working with a well-established structural engineering practice in North London that is looking to bring an experienced Senior Structural CAD Technician into its small and growing team.
This is a great opportunity for a technician who enjoys being heavily involved in the technical delivery of projects and wants to work within a close-knit consultancy where your experience will genuinely be valued.
The Role
The position is predominantly CAD-based, with around 95% of your workload being AutoCAD. Revit experience is not essential, making this a particularly good opportunity for an experienced CAD technician who has perhaps been put off roles that place too much emphasis on BIM.
You’ll work closely with the engineers and wider design team, producing detailed structural drawings across a varied portfolio of projects.
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.
The project workload includes:
- High-end residential properties
- Hotels
- Refurbishment and alteration projects
- Office refurbishments
- Schools and education projects
- Domestic housing
- New-build developments
The projects vary in size and complexity, so there is plenty of opportunity to use your technical knowledge rather than simply producing repetitive drawings.
About You
We’re looking for someone with solid experience as a Structural CAD Technician, ideally within a UK structural engineering consultancy.
You should have:
- Strong AutoCAD skills
- Good structural detailing knowledge
- Experience producing structural drawings for construction
- A good understanding of building structures and construction methods
- The ability to work independently and take ownership of your drawings
- Experience working closely with structural engineers
- Good communication skills and attention to detail

Revit is not essential – the priority is finding someone who is genuinely strong technically in AutoCAD.
The Consultancy
You’ll be joining a small, established structural engineering team, giving you the opportunity to work closely with senior engineers and have a genuine influence on project delivery.
The company offers a friendly, collaborative environment, varied project exposure, and hybrid working, providing a good balance between flexibility and being part of the team.
If you’re an experienced Structural CAD Technician looking for a role where AutoCAD remains the primary tool, rather than being expected to become a full-time Revit technician, this could be an excellent fit.
“It took my CV and asked me questions relevant to understanding what kind of jobs to suggest for me. Suggestions were almost perfect. Jobs were exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
