Basildon, Essex, United Kingdom Modus Careers Full time

2 x CAD Designers | Essex | £26,000 - £40,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Our client, a respected design and manufacturing specialist, is growing. They're now looking to welcome two new CAD Designers into their busy Essex studio, one focused on early-stage design and client collaboration, the other on production and fabrication design.

This is a chance to join a company that's built its success on quality, trust and long-term relationships. A place where designers stay for years, not months. Where projects move from sketch to production under one roof, and where good work genuinely gets noticed.

The Roles

Each position offers its own rhythm, but both are united by precision, technical understanding and collaboration.

Design Development - Front-End CAD Designer

You'll work closely with clients and project leads, developing layout plans, GAs and detailed design schemes in AutoCAD. It's a role for someone who enjoys problem-solving, interpreting briefs and turning concepts into intelligent, buildable plans.

Fabrication Design - Production CAD Designer

This side focuses on design for manufacture. You'll create detailed models and fabrication drawings in SolidWorks, helping translate bespoke ideas into tangible, precision-engineered products. Perfect for someone with a technical mindset and a love for accuracy and detail.

Why Join

  • Competitive salary range:
    £26,000 - £40,000
    , depending on experience
  • Annual bonus scheme, circa 4 figures.
  • Nest pension enrolment
  • 20 days annual leave, plus bank holidays
  • Supportive and close-knit team culture, no micromanagement, no egos
  • Clear progression routes with mentoring from senior designers
  • Flexibility post-probation for appointments and home-working where appropriate
  • Secure, long-standing company with a healthy project pipeline and loyal client base

Who You Are

Whether you're just starting your CAD career or already operating at midweight level, this is a place to grow. You might come from manufacturing, M&E, joinery, or interior design, with strong AutoCAD or SolidWorks skills and a passion for design and delivery.

More than software knowledge, it's your curiosity, precision, and pride in producing high-quality work that will make you stand out.

The Environment

You'll be based full-time in a collaborative Essex studio, working closely with design, fabrication and delivery teams. It's an open, encouraging environment where people are trusted, supported and valued and where design really matters.

If you're a CAD Designer looking for hands-on experience, career development and a business that values design and detail in equal measure, this is the opportunity.
