* Skills in 3D CAD/modelling (e.g. Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar) to produce detailed models.

* Familiarity with graphics/design software (for example CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, or equivalents) where signage artwork is involved.

* Good understanding of materials, manufacturing/fabrication processes, especially sheet metal work, CNC, laser/routing etc.

* Strong attention to detail and accuracy: ability to work with precise dimensions, tolerances, and assembly details.

* Good communication skills: able to work with project managers, production/installation teams, and clients to clarify drawings and resolve issues.

* Ability to manage multiple drawings/projects concurrently and deliver to deadlines.
