- Collaborating with the workshop team to ensure designs are practical to manufacture and meet our high standards of craftsmanship.
- Supporting the CAD team with pre-production checks, administration and 3D scanning.
- Maintaining organised digital workflows and ensuring CAD files are completed accurately and on time.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has experience using Rhino or MatrixGold for fine jewellery CAD.
- Has around one to two years' experience in fine jewellery CAD, whether gained through employment or a high-quality placement.
- Has excellent attention to detail and enjoys producing precise technical work.
