HV Cable System Design & Drafting : Create, modify, and manage detailed 2D and 3D CAD drawings for high-voltage cable systems, including routes, layouts, and cross-sections based on engineering inputs.

Develop and update electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, and termination drawings for substation projects. Ensure all drawings and designs comply with project specifications, client requirements, and relevant industry standards (e.g., BS, ENA). Incorporate red-line markups from engineering and site teams to produce accurate as-built documentation.

Project Design Collaboration: Collaborate closely with project managers and engineers to interpret design requirements, resolve technical queries, and ensure drawing accuracy. Participate in design review meetings to provide expert input on drawing feasibility, constructability, and potential clashes.

Prepare and compile comprehensive drawing packages for various project stages, including tender, construction, and final handover.

Technical Documentation & Quality Control : Maintain and manage the project drawing register and control the flow of CAD documentation within the common data environment (CDE). Perform rigorous quality assurance checks on drawings to verify accuracy, completeness, and adherence to established drafting standards.

Assist in the preparation of Bills of Materials (BOMs) and material take-offs derived from technical drawings.

HNC/HND or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction or a related technical discipline.

Minimum 3-5 years experience as a CAD Technician, preferably within the high voltage, power transmission, or utilities industry.

Experience working independently on design tasks within a project-driven environment.

BIM 360 modelling would be preferred
