Job Description
We are seeking a highly capable Senior Maritime Design Technician to lead the production, coordination and quality of technical drawings for maritime infrastructure projects.
The successful candidate will play a key role in delivering clear, accurate and buildable drawing packages that support the planning, design and construction of maritime infrastructure projects across Scotland and the UK.
Typical projects include ferry terminals, piers, jetties, quay structures, dolphins, linkspan support structures, slipways, seawalls and associated landside infrastructure such as pavements, drainage and utilities.
This role is ideally suited to a practical and detail-oriented technician who takes pride in producing high-quality engineering drawings and understands how those drawings are used by contractors to build infrastructure safely, efficiently and accurately.
We are seeking someone who can work proactively with engineers to develop complete, coordinated and construction-ready drawing packages, rather than simply drafting information provided by others. The successful candidate will understand how engineering information should be presented, what drawings are required, what details and annotations are needed, and how to communicate design intent clearly and consistently.
Working within a specialist maritime team, the successful candidate will help establish and maintain drawing quality, presentation standards, document control processes and technical consistency across projects.
Success in this role will be measured through the quality, clarity and consistency of project deliverables, the efficiency of drawing production, and the ability to support successful project delivery through well-presented and coordinated engineering documentation.
