Job DescriptionContract Design Engineer (SolidWorks) Full-Time / IR35 Status: Out
Contract Term – 6 months (with a likely 6-month extension)
Location – Remote, London
Our client is delivering a critical infrastructure project involving the installation of steelwork and fire cladding within a 660-metre tunnel. You will work directly alongside the Project Lead to finalise complex engineering assemblies for one of the UK’s most high-profile transport hubs.
The project is currently managed by a single Lead Engineer who requires a dedicated SolidWorks expert to transition modelled components into a comprehensive library of "as-built" assemblies and client-ready drawings.
Responsibilities, but are not limited to
- Producing a large volume of "as-built" models based on site-specific installations
- Generating fully assembled drawings for complex steelwork and cladding systems
- Developing a series of 42 dimensional drawings (3D/2D) for client approval
- Conducting on-site visits as required to verify dimensions and progress
- Collaborating closely with the Project Lead to ensure all engineering aspects meet stringent tunnel standards
- Due to the nature of the projects, there is an expectation to work night shifts (typically 11:00pm to 4:30am) for approximately two nights every 2–3 weeks
Experiences required
- Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks is essential
- Proven background in Engineering, specifically with steelwork and cladding systems
- Experience producing high-accuracy as-built drawings for large-scale infrastructure
- Self-sufficiency: The contractor must provide their own workstation and SolidWorks license
- Ability to work independently as part of a small, senior-level team
