A positive and self-motivated team player, you’ll be a superb multi-tasker with outstanding technical drawing skills. You’ll also enjoy working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders. But now you want to grow your career into something that has more impact and importance. You want to do your job, but bigger. Look no further, because we’ve got the ideal opportunity for you, one that will allow you to develop and improve your design expertise and knowledge and take you to the next level of success.
As a trusted government partner, we work on a huge range of projects, and help protect the UK’s interests around the world. We design and construct secure government buildings. We help earthquake proof embassies. We keep complex developments on track, and on budget. And a whole lot more besides. Now we’re looking for a highly motivated and creative Junior CAD Technician to join our Computer Aided Drafting team and support the delivery of our vital property and construction goals.
Use all your drawing skills as you contribute to the success of our vital mission.
When you join us in this important role, you’ll start by working under supervision as you produce AutoCAD and REVIT drawings to a high and consistent standard and liaise with our customers on a wide range of design related activities. Helping to manage the templates and standards of the drawings we produce, and making sure they conform to the correct security classifications, you’ll also work alongside some of our technical experts to ensure all relevant drawing information is correctly coordinated.
Develop your skills with our learning and development courses.
Other key tasks will include integrating your security advisors’ recommendations into project proposals and distributing historical drawing data to our project teams and their clients. In addition, you’ll aim to achieve a utilisation rate of at least 70% while ensuring all relevant policies and processes are followed, and work to develop your skills and complete all the training courses we offer. We’ll also expect you to support the team as they build strong, positive relationships with a wide range of customers and stakeholders.
Use all your knowledge and skills as you help to defend and protect the nation.
With the ability to draft, write and interpret professional and technical documents, you’ll be capable of producing highly professional drawings using AutoCAD and REVIT, and be an accomplished and. confident user of the MS Office suite of software. A superb communicator and a collaborative team worker, you’ll have a good understanding of construction processes and a keen interest in building design. When it comes to formal qualifications, we’ll look for a Level 2 qualification equivalent to 5 GCSEs at Grade A-C, including Maths and English, and practical understanding of the use of SketchUp and Photoshop would be a bonus. You should also be aware of the importance of good drawing and document control, and experience of working in a design office environment would also be desirable.
Grow your career in the biggest way possible
When you join us, you’ll be contributing to protecting the nation’s interests at home and overseas – but how will we help you in return? As well as a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service pension, we’ll also support your development with training opportunities to help you advance your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, canteen, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It’s a superb package of benefits as you help to increase the safety and security of our buildings and staff around the world.
All our employees have to be security cleared before being appointed, so you’ll need to undergo a vetting process if successful in your application. You can find out more about vetting and what a career with FCDO Services can offer you at fcdoservicescareers.co.uk.
