About the Role
We’re looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice CAD Technician to join a busy carpentry and joinery business in Maidstone. This is ideal if you’re already studying a CAD Technician course, ideally in your second year or with some CAD experience and want to build a career in construction.

Apprentice CAD Technician → CAD Technician → Design Manager
You’ll gain a solid understanding of materials, manufacturing, installation and project delivery, and take on more responsibility as you grow, working with our design, estimating, project and site teams.
