Job Description
We are looking for an experienced, solution-led, and detail oriented Technical Designer to join our growing team. Reporting to the Head of Production, as a Technical Designer you will bridge the gap between creative design and fabrication, working to bring innovative designs to life by applying practical manufacturing knowledge. You will work across multiple design projects of varying size and complexity alongside a team of Production Managers to clearly detail the correct technical solutions and fabrication methodologies. Drawings will be used to communicate directly to the Workshop and external fabrication suppliers. Work will also include creating clear site and survey packs to document instals, de rigs and site surveys. The role will require working across jobs simultaneously ensuring that jobs are executed to company and client standards in a compliant and industry-leading way.
Key Responsibilities:
Providing both conceptual and detailed visual representation of projects at various stages of their lifecycle - enabling projects to move through stakeholders and achieve the relevant sign offs.
Creating articulate and accurate technical fabrication drawings for the Workshop and third party fabrication partners.
Protecting brand and company integrity by upholding construction standards, meeting and supporting our defined ways of working/manufacture.
Driving for continual improvement and innovation, This role best suits upbeat and self-motivated individuals who enjoy working systematically and productively. It is a fast paced and energised environment which relies on organisation and efficiency.

Possess excellent time management and communication skills
Understand deadlines and how to juggle workload
Be a level-headed, solution lead technical problem-solver
Be able to work to an exceptional accuracy level with an unparalleled attention to detail
The client relies on numerous cloud-based IT platforms to streamline processes and communication across departments and clients, therefore an excellent grasp of IT is required.
Requirements:
Experience: 3+ years of Technical Design experience, with a strong track record of supporting fabrication teams from design through to final build.
Strong knowledge of fabrication techniques, including cabinetry, timber construction, and metalwork, with a focus on balancing aesthetic goals with technical feasibility.
Proficient in 3D modelling software (Vectorworks, SolidWorks, Fusion 360 preferred) and advanced skills in 2D technical drawing and draughting with a solid understanding of manufacturing standards.
Demonstrated experience in design for manufacturing, with an ability to consider cost-efficiency, weight, and production complexity during the design process.
Exceptional problem-solving skills with a solution-oriented mindset, the ability to work under pressure, and a methodical approach to challenges.
Unparalleled attention to detail and accuracy in both design and fabrication, ensuring high-quality execution of complex projects.
Excellent communication skills, capable of liaising with internal teams (technical, production, creative) and external stakeholders, and translating technical requirements across disciplines.
Proven ability to multitask, prioritise, and organise workload efficiently in a fast-paced production environment.
Confident IT skills with cloud-based platforms (Google Suite preferred) to streamline
Awareness of relevant Health & Safety legislation and its impact on project planning and execution.
Strong ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team, with a flexible, ‘can-do’ attitude and willingness to take on various tasks as needed.
