The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:
Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.
We are currently working with an established contractor within the renewables sector who is looking for a CAD Technician on a permanent basis. A big part of the role is supporting the delivery of civil design packages across energy infrastructure projects, particularly BESS developments.
The role will involve producing and updating drawings such as general arrangements, site layouts, drainage, and earthworks, working from engineer mark-ups and survey information. A key part of the position is being able to take rough information or sketches and turn them into clean, accurate, and buildable drawings in line with our standards.
They’ll also be supporting temporary works and assisting with things like haul roads, working platforms, and access layouts, so there’s a good mix of design and practical work. There will also be opportunities to attend site on a weekly basis if needs be, to help better understand what is being built and how drawings translate into construction.
They will be working closely within a small team, including a senior chartered civil engineer who will provide guidance when needed, as well as another civil design technician to collaborate with and support development. Our Projects are mainly within the energy sector, so they’ll be exposed to a range of infrastructure work rather than repetitive drafting, as every site carries its unique engineering solutions.
We’re ideally looking for someone with a civil background, around 2–6 years’ experience, who’s comfortable in AutoCAD (Civil 3D and Knowledge of BIM is bonus), and able to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
