  • Software Proficiency: Autodesk Inventor 2024 and Autodesk AutoCAD 2024.
  • Technical Skills: Strong understanding of retail shopfitting, joinery, and metal fabrication, experience creating detailed CNC-ready cutting paths, ability to produce manufacturing-ready drawings for wood and metal components, and familiarity with flat pattern metal design and laser-cut part preparation.
  • Education & Experience: Mid-Level: 3+ years of experience in a CAD drafting role related to retail, joinery, or shopfitting. Senior Level: 5+ years of experience with strong project delivery capabilities. Relevant tertiary qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, Architectural Technology, or a related field, and a strong portfolio of past projects in retail store design, fixtures, or shopfitting.

Work Environment & Benefits

  • UK working hours (5 days a week).
  • 19 days annual leave + UK bank holidays.
  • R1500 monthly medical allowance.
