Requirements

• A 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 detailing for facade, cladding, aluminium/sheet-metal, curtain walling or structural steel — or a strong aptitude and willingness to learn the Company system.
• Strong accuracy and attention to detail; able to read architectural and structural drawings and specifications.
• Able to manage revisions and meet deadlines under production pressure, and to work as part of a team.

• Familiarity with aluminium extrusion and sheet-metal fabrication processes.
• Exposure to take-off / estimating data and works-order systems.
• Interest in Building Information Modelling (BIM), parametric design and automation — the office is actively modernising, and there is room to grow with it.

• Material take-offs & works orders — generate accurate quantity take-offs, material requisitions and works orders for the factory.
• Approvals & revisions — submit drawings for approval and manage the revision cycle (Rev 1/2/3…) cleanly and to deadline.
• Coordination & accuracy — reconcile drawings with site measurements and estimating inputs so that works orders match what is built, reducing re-measures and rework. 
• Standards — work to Companies detailing standards and the Companies rulebook; help keep them current. 
• Modernisation (developing) — take part in the drawing office’s adoption of parametric templating and automated take-offs as these are introduced.
