Civil CAD Technician / Assistant Civil Engineer - Birmingham


Location: Birmingham
Sector: Civil/Infrastructure Engineering
Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: £30k - £40k + Excellent Benefits


I'm currently working with a rapidly growing engineering consultancy that's looking to add a talented Infrastructure CAD Technician or Assistant Engineer to their Birmingham team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their civil engineering career, working within a supportive and forward-thinking environment.
You'll be joining a collaborative Civil/Infrastructure Engineering team that's delivering sustainable, practical solutions across a range of civil engineering and lighting design projects. The team is working on a diverse portfolio of developments across the UK - so no two days will be the same!

What They're Looking For:


They're keen to speak with candidates who enjoy being hands-on with design and drawings, supporting engineers through the preparation of technical plans, and contributing to infrastructure solutions. This role would suit someone with strong CAD experience and a desire to grow professionally in a supportive, fast-paced consultancy environment.

What You'll Need:

  • A BTEC / HNC in Civil Engineering or a related subject.
  • At least 2 years' relevant experience - ideally within a consultancy or private sector development setting.
  • Solid AutoCAD skills (or similar CAD software), with the ability to work from mark-ups, sketches, and specifications.
  • Understanding of UK highway design principles; lighting design experience is a bonus (training provided if not).
  • Knowledge of Section 38 and 278 drawings for planning, tender, and construction.
  • Familiarity with relevant UK guidance such as Manual for Streets, DMRB, and local authority standards.
  • Experience with 3D software (e.g. Site3D or Civil 3D) would be a plus - but not essential.
  • A positive, proactive attitude and the ability to take on increasing responsibility within the team.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Work on a diverse range of private sector infrastructure projects.
  • Join a team with a strong growth trajectory and genuine opportunities for progression.
  • Enjoy a healthy work-life balance, professional autonomy, and the backing of a collaborative team.
  • Access to ongoing learning, training, and career development support.


This is a great chance to join a consultancy where you'll feel valued and supported while making a real impact on the projects you work on. If you're looking for a role that offers variety, development, and a strong team culture - this could be the one for you!
