Our client is a leading UK specialist installer of structured cabling, audio visual and security systems and smart buildings technology.

We are seeking to recruit an experienced CAD technician with experience in at least one of these industries.

As this is an immediate vacancy, the plan is that the role should start initially on a contract basis then become permanent after a few months which will allow the company to offer tremendous opportunities for career promotion.

To be considered for this role you must have experience of designing network cabling systems within buildings.

Key Responsibilities:

Create detailed 2D and 3D drawings of building systems and components using CAD software like AutoCAD or Revit. These drawings may include floor plans, elevations, sections, and schematics.
Learn how to use and understand Heatmap Survey, CCTV Field of View and cable measuring CAD software packages.
Work closely with designers, project teams and other stakeholders to understand design requirements and translate conceptual sketches into accurate CAD drawings.
Incorporate smart building technologies into designs, such as IoT devices, sensors, and automated systems. Ensure that these technologies are seamlessly integrated into the building's design.
Utilize BIM software to develop intelligent models that capture both geometric and non-geometric data about building components. This facilitates coordination and collaboration among different project disciplines.
Maintain and update CAD drawings as design changes occur throughout the project lifecycle. Ensure that all drawings reflect the most current design information.
Assist in coordinating design efforts with various project stakeholders, including architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers.
Ensure that CAD designs comply with building codes, safety regulations, and environmental standards. The plan is that the role should become permanent after a few months which will allow the company to offer tremendous opportunities for career promotion. Job Overview:

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.

The Skills Gap in Edge Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Edge computing is rapidly moving from niche concept to critical infrastructure. As organisations deploy connected devices, sensors, autonomous systems and real-time analytics, processing data closer to where it is generated has become essential. From smart cities and manufacturing to healthcare, transport, defence and telecommunications, edge computing underpins systems where latency, reliability and resilience matter. Demand for edge computing skills across the UK is rising steadily — yet employers consistently report difficulty finding candidates who are genuinely job-ready. Despite growing interest and academic coverage, universities are not fully preparing graduates for real edge computing jobs. This article explores the edge computing skills gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in edge computing.
