Design Technician
North Yorkshire
£30,000

Working as part a factory-based product design team, under the leadership of the Design Team Leader, the Design Technicians play a pivotal role in driving and controlling the Engineering Change Request system as the design evolves.

You will be involved in a variety of design and drafting activities, including preparing and updating the product 3D models, preparing assembly and manufacturing drawings in an appropriate 2D format and maintaining part and component hierarchies. You will also maximise the flexibility of the design and deal effectively with the increasing requirement for product variety and variations.


Primary Responsibilities:

  • Prepare dimensional drawings and 3D models and produce 2D drawings from 3D models
  • Revise and update existing drawings to reflect changes properly approved the change control process
  • Work with the Director of Engineering and Design Manager to produce and implement guidelines for the design and construction of the product
  • Act as a source of information about the design and the design guidelines for the Operations and product build teams
  • Maintain appropriate issue control management, with documentation and calculations, to show product evolution
  • Advise the Supply Chain team whether changes should be implemented immediately, at given date and how inventory already in the supply chain at a different revision level should be treated



About you

  • Ideally a degree in an engineering or science-based discipline
  • HNC or BTEC level 3 in a relevant discipline or City & Guild in CAD 2D & 3D
  • Significant Inventor experience is essential
  • Other 2D & 3D modelling experience is an advantage
  • Familiar with the principles and practice of parametric design
  • Knowledgeable about drafting and engineering standards
  • Experienced in appropriate industrial sectors. Previous construction experience is not essential and experience in sectors such as automotive, heavy engineering, aerospace or defence will be considered an advantage.
  • Positive, self-motivated and able to work effectively without close supervision
  • Excellent communications skills, oral, written and using PowerPoint or similar
  • With the ability to work as part of a multi-functional team, respecting alternative professional skills and opinions
  • Skilled in the use of IT equipment and common office products such as the Microsoft Office suite and email
