You'll ideally have:
- 3+ years' experience in a similar façade design position
- Excellent knowledge of AutoCAD 2D & 3D and Autodesk Inventor
- Ability to confidently read and interpret architectural drawings
- Good understanding of construction detailing and buildability
- Understanding of BIM project delivery

- Exciting pipeline of upcoming projects
- Opportunity to take genuine ownership of your designs
- Long-term career development within a growing design team
