Speculative Application – CAD Manager (Architecture Practice)
Standardise drawings, streamline workflows and keep every line perfectly aligned.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and professional community dedicated to architects, designers and the technical specialists who ensure production runs smoothly. Our practice clients rely on CAD Managers to own drafting standards, maintain libraries and mentor teams in best practice. They brief us early—often before advertising—so we keep an active shortlist of CAD leaders ready to jump in.
What our clients typically ask for
Extensive experience setting up and policing AutoCAD (and often Revit) standards across multiple projects and offices
Skill creating title blocks, dynamic blocks, layer naming conventions and plot styles, plus automating repetitive tasks with AutoLISP scripts or Dynamo routines
Confidence running drawing audits, issuing CAD protocols and coordinating with BIM Managers to keep 2D and 3D deliverables in sync
Familiarity with common-data environments such as BIM 360, Asite or Aconex and a working grasp of ISO 19650 file naming
A calm, methodical approach to troubleshooting user issues, training colleagues and rolling out software upgrades
Clear communication—able to translate technical jargon into plain guidelines for architects, consultants and externals
If your portfolio shows watertight drafting systems, tidy detail libraries and a knack for elevating team capability, we want to hear from you.
