This is an exciting opportunity to join teams delivering major infrastructure and water projects in India and the Middle East.

Responsibilities:

Create and manage accurate 2D/3D drawings, models, and surface data for civil engineering projects using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and GIS. Your work includes developing detailed designs, digital terrain models, grading plans, and as‑built documentation while ensuring all outputs meet company and client standards. You collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, supporting engineers and project managers with coordinated inputs, timely updates, and participation in design reviews. You maintain high quality and compliance with CAD and data management protocols, stay updated with evolving software workflows, and actively share knowledge.

Is this role right for you?

3–5 years of post‑graduate experience, primarily on India‑based projects, with added value from any UK project exposure.
