Structural Technician

Build Maintain Recruit Limited is working with an established engineering consultancy in Exeter that is looking to appoint a Structural Technician to join its growing team.
This is a great opportunity for a Technician who enjoys a varied workload and wants to work closely with engineers rather than simply sitting within a large drawing office.
You'll be involved in a broad mixture of residential, commercial and development projects, supporting schemes from initial design through to detailed construction information.
The business takes a practical, hands-on approach to engineering, so you'll have the opportunity to develop your technical knowledge while becoming involved in different stages of a project.
The Role
As Structural Technician, you'll be responsible for:

Producing detailed structural drawings and technical information
Developing and updating CAD drawings and models
Working closely with Structural Engineers to turn designs into accurate, buildable information
Supporting projects from initial design through to detailed stages
Coordinating drawings with engineers and other project disciplines
Carrying out drawing reviews and quality checks
Assisting with site visits and surveys where required
Managing your workload across a number of live projects
Ensuring drawings are delivered accurately and within agreed timescales About You
We're keen to hear from Structural Technicians with experience gained within an engineering consultancy or similar environment.
Ideally, you'll have:

Previous experience producing structural engineering drawings
Good working knowledge of AutoCAD
Experience with Revit would be advantageous
A good understanding of building structures and construction methods
Experience across residential and/or commercial projects
Strong attention to detail
Good communication and organisational skills
A proactive approach and willingness to continue developing technically You don't necessarily need to tick every box. A solid structural background, good technical drawing skills and the right attitude are more important.

What's on Offer?
You'll be joining a supportive engineering team with a varied project workload, good exposure to different types of structures and the opportunity to develop your responsibilities as you progress.
It would particularly suit someone looking for a smaller consultancy environment where they can become an important part of the team and work closely with experienced engineers.
