SUMMARY:
We are looking for a Junior Draughtsman / Detailer in the Facade & Cladding Systems, Johannesburg

POSITION INFO:

The drawing office is responsible for turning architects’ drawings into shop drawings, works orders, and material take-offs that drive both factory production and site execution. As the busiest part of the production chain, the office is expanding and seeks to appoint a junior draughtsman/detailer to increase capacity, ease team workload, and support the transition toward parametric and automated detailing.

Reporting and Team

The role reports to the Drawing Office Manager / Technical Manager. The successful candidate will work within a small team of draughtsmen and coordinate closely with estimating, factory, and site teams.

Key Responsibilities

Shop & Fabrication Drawings
Produce detailed shop drawings from architects’ AutoCAD/Revit designs for the panel cladding system, including panels, subgrids, brackets, louvres, copings, flashings, canopies, and related metalwork.
Material Take-offs & Works Orders
Generate accurate quantity take-offs, material requisitions, and works orders for factory production.
Approvals & Revisions
Submit drawings for approval and manage revision cycles (Rev 1/2/3, etc.) accurately and within deadlines.
Coordination & Accuracy
Align drawings with site measurements and estimating inputs to ensure works orders reflect actual construction, minimizing re-measures and rework.
Standards
Work according to internal detailing standards and system rulebooks and contribute to keeping them up to date.
Modernisation (Developing)
Participate in the implementation of parametric templating and automated take-off processes as the drawing office evolves.

Requirements

Diploma or degree in drafting, architectural technology, mechanical/structural drafting, or equivalent practical experience.
Proficiency in AutoCAD (Revit or other 3D/BIM experience is a strong advantage).
Experience in detailing façades, cladding, aluminium/sheet metal, curtain walling, or structural steel — or a strong aptitude and willingness to learn the company’s cladding system.
Strong attention to detail and accuracy, with the ability to interpret architectural and structural drawings and specifications.
Ability to manage revisions, work under production pressure, meet deadlines, and collaborate in a team environment.

Advantageous

Familiarity with aluminium extrusion and sheet metal fabrication processes.
Exposure to material take-offs, estimating data, and works-order systems.
Interest in Building Information Modelling (BIM), parametric design, and automation, with opportunities for growth as the office modernises.

What We Offer

A diverse and engaging detailing role within an established specialist company, offering a clear development path as the drawing office adopts modern tools.

The indicative total cost of employment ranges from R240,000 to R380,000 per year, depending on experience and aligned with current market conditions and role level.
