We are now looking for a Trainee CAD Operator to join our busy team in Thetford!

Working out of our Thetford manufacturing unit, we are looking to train a selected individual to become a CAD (Computer Aided Design) operator, whose job it would be to “digitise” and input furniture template pieces onto a CAD system. To begin with, you will learn the manufacturing process for handmade chair and sofa loose covers, alongside the benefits of technology and multi-site manufacturing. Working as part of a small team you will learn quickly, before progressing to become a key part of this exciting and successful area of the Plumbs business, which has seen growth year on year.

You will liaise with several members of Plumbs staff throughout the course of each order to ensure the perfect creation of bespoke furniture covers that fit each furniture item like a glove. You will be provided with a constant workflow so it will be essential for you to keep on top of your work.

Trainee CAD Operator Requirements:

Those who have any CAD experience or have worked in upholstery will be at an advantage. However, this role would equally be ideal for a College leaver or someone who is interested in a change of career, as full training will be provided.

• Precision and attention to detail.
• Knowledge of IT, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets and Mathematical Skills.
• Good communicator and able to work within a team environment.

• 24 days holiday + bank holidays
• Early finish on Friday
• Free onsite parking
