Contract Design Engineer

Contract Design Engineer IR35 Status: Out

Contract Term – Ad hoc

Location – Remote

Join a well-established specialist operating within the construction supply sector, known for delivering high-quality bespoke architectural components and façade solutions. The business specialises in translating architectural intent into practical, manufacturable designs, supporting projects from concept through to production.

With established in-house design capabilities and a growing pipeline of work, the company is continuing to expand its design and engineering function. They utilise advanced 3D modelling and scan data to deliver accurate, high-quality outputs for the built environment.

Responsibilities, but are not limited to

• Regularly receive 2D design information to assemble into comprehensive 3D models
  
• Utilise 2D overlays provided at the start of a project to compare and align engineering models with architectural intent
  
• Create accurate as-built 3D models in SolidWorks. While 3D scan data is utilised for refurbishment projects, the current norm for new builds remains working from 2D inputs
  
• Support the development of façade elements (panels, rails, interfaces) based on existing conditions or 2D specifications
  
• Beyond 3D modelling, you will be responsible for presenting designs onto 2D presentation drawing sheets for formal approval
  
• Work independently or with a small remote team to support peaks in workload and ensure models are manufacturing-ready
  

Experiences required

• Proficient in creating detailed 3D models using SolidWorks (2025 or compatible versions)
  
• Proven ability to work with and interrogate 3D scan data to produce accurate solid models
  
• Ability to interpret architectural drawings and integrate them into engineering models
  
• Background in construction, façade design, or related building industries is highly desirable
  
• Able to work independently in a remote, ad hoc contract environment
  
• Must provide own SolidWorks licence
  
• Must provide own CAD-capable workstation
