Street Furniture SolidWorks Designer

CADagency is delighted to be working with a manufacturing company based in Blackburn. The company designs and manufactures street furniture within its onsite fabrication facilities. Their products range from outdoor seating, litter bins and planters to walkways, canopies and bollards.

Due to on going high workload there is a requirement for an additional SolidWorks Designer to develop and communicate the technical and visual aspects of the companies products. For this role you will also be required to manage projects and liaise with clients giving regular project updates and solving issues that arise along the way.
