Canvas Offices creates characterful, design-led flexible workspaces across London. Our Property Development team manages the design, development and evolution of our portfolio, and we're building a long-term relationship with a freelance CAD technician to support us with ad-hoc space-planning requests and layout changes.

Most requests are small, well-defined jobs on existing measured-survey DWGs, already set up to our drawing and brand standards, with a clear brief and access to our team for questions. Typical jobs take one to three hours. This isn't just about drawing what's asked — you'll assess whether a layout actually works and flag anything that doesn't.

• Testing furniture layouts, desk capacities and meeting room configurations

• Assessing partition changes and whether a client's requested layout is feasible

• Considering circulation, accessibility, clearances, capacity and user experience, and flagging (not resolving) any power, data, lighting, HVAC or MEP implications

• Delivering an updated DWG and PDF, plus a clear note on any concerns, assumptions or feasibility issues

Most jobs carry a two-working-day turnaround from brief to delivery, so responsiveness matters — we need someone who can acknowledge new requests promptly. You're welcome to decline individual jobs when your workload doesn't allow, and to flag ahead of time when you're unavailable.

• Strong 2D AutoCAD skills and good technical drawing standards

• Good spatial awareness and an understanding of space planning

• Confident questioning a brief rather than simply reproducing it, with a basic awareness of how layout changes affect MEP, access and circulation

• Clear written communication, strong time management and reliability

• Based in or near London, with the flexibility to take on short-turnaround jobs regularly

This could suit a junior CAD technician, interior designer or architectural technician building an ongoing freelance relationship alongside other work — strong fundamentals matter more to us than years of experience.

• An ongoing relationship, not a one-off brief — we'd rather work with one freelancer regularly than a different one each time

• Training on our drawing standards, workplace planning principles, furniture and brand standards

• Remote-first work, with occasional site visits where it helps

• Room to grow into larger renovation, test-fit and drawing projects over time

• Around six space-planning requests a month, with no guaranteed minimum hours
