From Trainee to Established CAD Operator

Written 18.02.2026

We’re proud to celebrate Michal Mankowski who has officially qualified as a CAD Operator.

Supported by our Head of Training and Development, Jacob, Michal has developed strong CAD fundamentals, advanced skills, and the ability to deliver complete drawings independently for large projects.

We are delighted to share some excellent news regarding a member of our team, Michal Mankowski. Michal joined QDOS in July 2024 as a Trainee CAD operator and has now completed his qualification, becoming a CAD operator.

Our supportive culture is something we’re proud of at QDOS, and we make sure everyone feels confident when asking questions and developing at their own pace. Michal has worked closely with Jacob, Head of Training and Development, throughout his journey.

Michal shared his experience of the training:

“Training has been very good with Jacob; he explains things well and makes stuff easier to understand. All other members of staff are very happy to help too”

Jacob was full of praise for Michal’s approach, and his progress made. Michal’s willingness to learn, take feedback on board and apply it in practice has been key to his success.

“Michal was very easy to teach, as he picks things up quickly and takes feedback on board well. He has flourished into an important member of the team.”

Now that he’s fully qualified, Michal will continue to play an important role within the CAD team. He is now able to work on any of the jobs we complete here at QDOS, as he has covered all CAD fundamentals, developed advanced CAD skills, and completed fire alarm device layouts training, resulting in the ability to deliver complete drawings for large projects independently.

Gavin, Managing Director, shared

“I am delighted that Michal has completed all levels of training to become a much-valued CAD Operator in our growing team. We pride ourselves on our detailed training programme, which is run by our Head of Training and Development, Jacob, and this further strengthens our position as the leading supplier of compliant fire alarm drawings”

Michal’s journey reflects the culture we work hard to build at QDOS, one where people are supported, encouraged and given the opportunity to grow.

All whilst following our QDOS code:

  • We put the customer first
  • We connect
  • We exceed expectations

  • Congratulations to Michal on a fantastic achievement and thank you to Jacob and the wider team for their continued support.
