Contract Design Engineer

London, United Kingdom Posted on 19/02/2026

Contract Term - 6 months (with a likely 6 month extension)

Location - Site based, London

Our client is delivering a critical infrastructure project involving the installation of steelwork and fire cladding within a 660 metre tunnel. You will work directly alongside the Project Lead to finalise complex engineering assemblies for one of the UK's most high profile transport hubs.

The project is currently managed by a single Lead Engineer who requires a dedicated SolidWorks expert to transition modelled components into a comprehensive library of "as built" assemblies and client ready drawings.

Responsibilities, but are not limited to

• Producing a large volume of "as built" models based on site specific installations
• Generating fully assembled drawings for complex steelwork and cladding systems
• Developing a series of 42 dimensional drawings (3D/2D) for client approval
• Conducting on site visits as required to verify dimensions and progress
• Collaborating closely with the Project Lead to ensure all engineering aspects meet stringent tunnel standards
• Due to the nature of the projects, there is an expectation to work night shifts (typically 11:00pm to 4:30am) for approximately two nights every 2-3 weeks

Experiences required

• Expert level proficiency in SolidWorks is essential
• Proven background in Engineering, specifically with steelwork and cladding systems
• Experience producing high accuracy as built drawings for large scale infrastructure
• Self sufficiency: The contractor must provide their own workstation and SolidWorks license
• Ability to work independently as part of a small, senior level team
