Draughtsperson
Heavy Civils & Earthworks (Contract) Major Infrastructure Project

The Opportunity

If you’re the type of Draughtsperson who takes pride in producing accurate drawings first time — not simply moving lines on a screen — this opportunity deserves your attention.
We’re seeking an experienced Contract Draughtsperson / CAD Technician to support delivery on a major heavy civil engineering project near Bridgwater.
