* Proven experience using CAD software
* Strong 2D and/or 3D drawing skills
* Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
* Ability to interpret sketches, drawings and technical information
* Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines
* Good communication and teamwork skills
* A willingness to learn and develop within a specialist engineering environment
Desirable:
* Experience with AutoCAD 3D, Navisworks, As-Built Suites or Scene
