Introduction
3D Technical Design Ltd (3DTD) specialise in Heat Network Design and Project Development. Offering Advanced Feasibility Studies, Detailed Project Design, Project Planning and 3D Utility and Pipe Modelling for city-wide Heat Network projects. To complement this service, 3DTD also carry out feasibility studies and detailed designs for energy centres, plant rooms and substations.
An Exciting Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a self-motivated District Heating Project/Technical Manager seeking to work in a design-and-delivery role in District Heating and the renewable energy sector. The role is heavily focused on developing and implementing the company’s Quality Management System and on managing the design team’s development and performance against the QMS. Advanced 2D CAD skills and a good knowledge of 3D CAD work is preferable.
Initial Training
The initial 3-day induction will be carried out, depending on the country of work, either online at home or office-based. A one-month training and introduction to the processes and QMS for delivery will be followed by a 5-month online mentoring, which will be home-based. The reason behind the structured training and mentor plan is due to the niche services 3DTD provide to its clients, as there are very few DHN designers in the UK or in Europe who are specialised in the buried side of heat networks, hence we need to train all new employees to allow them to deliver these designs to our high standards.
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.
