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.
This is a long-term scheme running through to 2027/28, offering genuine continuity and the chance to become a key part of a high-performing project team.

The Project

This is a large, multi-phase infrastructure development delivering complex civil engineering works, including:

• Sheet piling
• Major earthworks
• River realignments
• Bridges and viaducts

It’s a technically demanding environment with multiple active work fronts — ideal for someone who enjoys working close to operations and producing accurate, buildable information.

The Role

You’ll play a key role supporting engineering and delivery teams by producing, updating, and maintaining accurate drawings across the project.
This is not a back-office role. You’ll work closely with engineers and site teams to ensure drawings reflect what is actually happening on site.

Key responsibilities include:

• Producing and updating construction drawings and as-built records
• Interpreting and implementing engineer mark-ups and redlines
• Supporting engineers with temporary and permanent works detailing
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date drawing registers
• Ensuring all drawings reflect latest revisions and site changes
• Working closely with site engineers to capture as-built information
• Assisting with quality assurance and document control
• Supporting coordination across multiple work sections

About You

We’re looking for a Draughtsperson who understands civils — not just CAD.
You’ll likely have experience on major infrastructure or heavy civils projects and be comfortable operating in a fast-paced, site-led environment.

You’ll bring:

• Based within one hour of Bridgwater
• Proven experience as a CAD Technician / Draughtsperson in civil engineering
• Strong AutoCAD skills (essential)
• Experience on earthworks, piling, RC, or infrastructure projects
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and redlines accurately
• Strong attention to detail and pride in producing quality work
• Confidence liaising with engineers and site teams
• Ability to manage multiple drawing packages and deadlines

Desirable:

• Civil 3D or BIM experience
• Previous experience producing as-built drawings on live projects

Rate & Package

• £350 – £400 per day (PAYE plus holiday pay)
• Long-term freelance role with excellent continuity
• Opportunity to work on a high-profile and technically interesting project

Why This Role?

If you’re a Draughtsperson who wants to be part of a major civils project — not detached from it — this is a genuine opportunity where your work will directly influence delivery.
