The posting

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.

What You’ll Learn

How to use AutoCAD to create accurate technical drawings. How to gather and record site information using GNSS/GPS surveying equipment. 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.

About the Apprenticeship

You will combine practical workplace experience with structured apprenticeship learning. Our experienced team will support you as you develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to build a career in design within the utilities sector.

Key Responsibilities

  • Attend site visits and surveys alongside experienced colleagues to gather information for detailed designs and as-laid drawings.
  • Learn to produce as-laid drawings using AutoCAD, following client asset standards and procedures.
  • Work with internal teams to obtain information and help complete drawings within agreed timescales.
  • Support the arrangement of client walk-off meetings and attend with colleagues.
  • Assist the design team in preparing technical drawings, plans and general arrangements.
  • Learn to create private land notice plans in accordance with client processes and specifications.
  • Provide regular updates on your work to the Design/Commercial Manager.
  • Support the design team with administrative tasks, record keeping and document management.
  • Complete apprenticeship learning and assessments, applying your developing skills in the workplace.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

  • A full driving licence and access to your own car.
  • An interest in design, engineering or the utilities industry.
  • Enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn.
  • Basic IT skills, including familiarity with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.
  • Good attention to detail and a methodical approach to tasks.
  • A willingness to develop your numerical and problem-solving skills.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team.
  • The ability to organise your workload with support and guidance.
  • A willingness to work both in the office and on site.
  • You do not need previous design experience or an engineering qualification to apply. Training will be provided in AutoCAD, surveying equipment and relevant industry processes.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
