Document Controller in Elephant & Castle, Greater London

Document Controller (Trainee CAD Supervisor)

Linea Group is working with a well-established [building services contractor / M&E consultancy] looking for an experienced Document Controller to join its CAD and technical team. You’ll start in document control, and there is a clear path from there to CAD Supervisor and then CAD Manager.

If you already work in document control in building services and want a long-term career rather than another sideways move, this role is worth a conversation.

The Role

You’ll be the main point of control for project drawings and technical documents. You’ll keep information accurate, up to date and moving smoothly between the CAD team, engineers, project managers and external stakeholders.

• Upload and manage information on Common Data Environments (e.g. Viewpoint, Aconex, ACC/BIM 360, Asite)
• Liaise with design teams, contractors and clients to keep information flowing on time
• Support the CAD team with workload planning, drawing checks and quality control
• Help develop and improve document control procedures and CAD standards
• Over time, take on supervisory duties: coordinating CAD technicians, setting priorities and reporting to senior management

About You

• Essential: proven experience as a Document Controller (or similar) within building services, M&E or the wider construction industry
• A strong understanding of drawing management, revision control and project documentation
• Experience using CDE platforms and document management systems
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD and/or Revit, or a clear interest in building your CAD skills
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• A confident communicator who can work with engineers, designers and site teams
• Ambition to progress into a supervisory and then management role

What’s On Offer

• A structured route from Document Controller to CAD Supervisor to CAD Manager

• Exposure to a varied portfolio of projects
• Competitive salary of £35,000
