Salary: £42,000 per annum

Hours: 42.5 hours per week, Monday-Friday

Location: Swadlincote, Derbyshire, DE11 8EA

Same-day delivery across the UK
Six strategic locations, including our National Distribution Centre
Extraordinary growth since 2010
️ Industry innovators setting new standards

Ready for an exciting journey in a thriving company? Join First Fence, where we're not just securing spaces; we're securing the future. ️ #FirstFence #SecurityInnovation #JoinOurTeam

Position:

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Senior Drawing Engineer to lead our design and drafting operations. In this role, you will be responsible for translating architectural concepts, site surveys, and structural requirements into precise, production-ready manufacturing and installation drawings.

You will work across a diverse product line—ranging from high-security perimeter fencing, acoustic barriers and automated gate systems. As a senior member of the team, you will bridge the gap between initial client consultation, structural engineering compliance, and shop-floor fabrication.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design & Drafting

Create comprehensive 2D fabrication drawings, component details, and 3D models using CAD software (AutoDesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or AutoCAD).
Develop detailed site layouts, elevation drawings, and installation guides for field crews and project managers.
Incorporate structural engineering calculations into final fence and gate designs.
Generate accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and cutting lists to optimise material utilisation and minimise scrap on the shop floor.

2. Leadership & Process Optimisation

Establish, maintain, and enforce drafting standards, layering conventions, and drawing revision controls.
Mentor and review the work of junior drafters/designers to ensure 100% accuracy before production release.
Build and maintain a standardised CAD part library for modular fencing components (posts, brackets, pales, panels, and hardware) to speed up future lead times.
Collaborate with production teams to troubleshoot manufacturing bottlenecks and implement Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles.

3. Client & Project Collaboration

Review architectural plans, civil engineering site layouts, and tender specifications to identify potential design constraints.
Interface with clients, suppliers and manufacturing to resolve design discrepancies and provide technical value-engineering suggestions.
Assist the sales team by providing preliminary drawings or material take-offs for complex, custom bids.

Requirements:

Qualifications & Skills

Required Experience

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Structural Design, or equivalent technical experience/certifications.
Experience: 3+ years of experience in steel fabrication, architectural metalwork, or a closely related manufacturing sector (direct fencing or gate industry experience is highly desirable).
Software Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in 3D modelling (SolidWorks, Inventor) and 2D drafting (AutoCAD). Experience with structural analysis software is a major plus.

Technical & Core Competencies

Manufacturing Knowledge: Deep understanding of metal fabrication techniques (laser cutting, welding, punching, bending, hot-dip galvanizing, and powder coating).
Mechanical Aptitude: Strong grasp of moving parts, hinges, latch mechanisms, and cantilever gate geometry.
Precision & Detail: Exceptional spatial reasoning skills with strict adherence to tolerances, clearances, and geometric dimensioning.
Communication: Ability to clearly explain technical design choices to non-technical stakeholders, clients, and installers.
