Junior CAD Engineer
Recruit Mint Ltd
The work you help design could appear at major arena shows, world tours and flagship live events. This is your chance to start out as a Junior CAD Engineer with a team trusted to deliver them.
As a Junior CAD Engineer you will join an established design and fabrication business that creates bespoke, large-scale builds for the live events industry, based in Bedfordshire. You will learn the craft from people with decades of combined experience, working from designers' concepts through to detailed 2D and 3D drawings that the workshop team build from. The aim is simple. If you want to learn CAD properly in a hands-on, varied environment rather than sat behind a desk on repetitive work, this role rewards that ambition.
Job Responsibilities
- Producing 2D and 3D CAD drawings and models for bespoke builds and structures using AutoCAD or Inventor
- Working from designers' sketches, briefs and concept ideas to develop accurate technical drawings
- Detailing drawings so the welding, fabrication and machining teams can manufacture directly from them
- Amending and updating drawings as projects develop and design changes come through
- Producing cutting lists, parts breakdowns and assembly details for the workshop
- Checking dimensions and tolerances so components fit and assemble correctly on site
- Keeping the drawing library and project files organised, version-controlled and easy to find
- Supporting senior CAD and design staff across several live projects at once
Skills and Experience
To succeed as a Junior CAD Engineer from day one you will need:
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD or Inventor, whether gained through study, an apprenticeship or early work experience
- The ability to read, interpret and produce technical drawings in both 2D and 3D
- A real eye for detail and accuracy, because the workshop builds exactly what you draw
- A qualification in CAD, engineering, design or a related subject, or equivalent hands-on knowledge
- A genuine willingness to learn the trade and act on feedback
Pay and Benefits
- Salary up to £30,000, depending on experience
- Monday to Thursday, 7.30am to 4.30pm
- Friday, 7.30am to 1.00pm
- Hands-on training and exposure to high-profile live event projects from day one
- Genuine variety, with no two projects ever quite the same

Roles like this do not come up often. Few employers will trust someone at the start of their career with real responsibility on projects of this scale, alongside a team with this much experience to learn from. If you want your drawings to end up behind shows that thousands of people see, and you are ready to build your CAD career somewhere your work genuinely matters, apply today and take your first step as a Junior CAD Engineer.
