Apprentice Design Technician

At Network Plus, we are committed to developing the next generation of talent. As an Apprentice Design Technician, you will gain practical experience supporting our design team while developing your skills in technical drawing, surveying and utilities design.

Working alongside experienced colleagues, you will learn to use AutoCAD, gather information on site and produce drawings that meet our clients’ standards. You will receive training and guidance as you build your confidence and take on more responsibility.

No previous design, AutoCAD or water industry experience is required. A full driving licence and access to your own car are essential, as the role involves regular travel to sites.

The engineering principles and design processes used in clean water and wastewater projects. How to follow client asset standards and drawing specifications. How to communicate with colleagues and clients and manage work to agreed deadlines.
