About the Role

We're looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice CAD Technician to join a busy carpentry and joinery business in Maidstone. This is ideal if you're already studying a CAD Technician course, ideally in your second year or with some CAD experience and want to build a career in construction.

You'll work alongside experienced designers and technicians, seeing how technical drawings are developed and used on real projects, while continuing your college studies one day a week.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with creating and modifying CAD drawings for carpentry and joinery projects
• Interpret architectural and technical drawings
• Prepare and update detailed technical drawings and project documentation
• Support the design team with layouts, measurements and material specifications
• Keep digital drawing files and project information accurate and organised
• Work closely with colleagues and learn how drawings translate into work on site

Career Progression

This apprenticeship is the start of a long-term career in construction design. Our aim is to develop the right person into a specialist Carpentry & Joinery Design Manager:

Apprentice CAD Technician → CAD Technician → Design Manager

You'll gain a solid understanding of materials, manufacturing, installation and project delivery, and take on more responsibility as you grow, working with our design, estimating, project and site teams.

What We Offer

• Training, support and mentoring from an experienced team
• Hands-on experience applying your college learning in a professional environment
• A clear development pathway with long-term career prospects

About You

• Currently studying a CAD Technician course at college, ideally with some CAD knowledge and experience
• Genuinely interested in a career in construction (rather than architecture)
• An interest in carpentry and joinery, which would be a real advantage
• Strong attention to detail and comfortable working accurately with measurements and technical information
• Keen to learn, ask questions and develop your technical skills
• A good communicator and team player
• Organised, proactive and able to follow instructions and company procedures
