ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a uniquely qualified Architectural & Structural Draftsperson with proven senior-level capability across design, drafting, project management, and pre-construction coordination. The ideal candidate will be deeply proficient in multi-platform BIM software, project delivery from early concept to contract administration, and must demonstrate a minimum of 15 years’ progressive experience across residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments.
This is not an entry-level or drafting-only position. The selected candidate will directly support our leadership team on complex, fast-track construction projects, acting as a key contributor across design, compliance, contracts, tendering, and technical drafting.
Minimum Criteria (applications not meeting all requirements will not be considered)
- Bachelor of Architecture Degree
- Diploma (AQF Level 6) in Building & Construction (Australia).
- Minimum 5 years Experience in a general management/project leadership role in construction or architectural firms.
- Minimum 1 year of relevant experience in Australia in a local drafting/project coordination capacity.
- Demonstrated experience with Revit, Tekla Structures, SpaceGASS, and AutoCAD across integrated disciplines (architecture + structural).
- Proven ability to produce high-detail construction drawings and independently handle contract documentation, tenders, and site instructions.
- Experience in Design & Build projects with full lifecycle coordination — from concept development to contractor finalisation.
- Proven ability to liaise with consultants, subcontractors, clients, and statutory authorities with minimal supervision.
- Working knowledge of Australian NCC, AS/NZS standards, and construction industry legislation.
- Strong English communication skills (both written and verbal).
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Translate design concepts into working drawings, specifications, and contract documentation suitable for tendering and construction.
- Prepare detailed architectural and structural drawings using software such as Revit, Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, and SpaceGASS, ensuring accuracy and coordination across disciplines.
- Assist in the development and modification of building designs in accordance with project requirements and stakeholder input.
- Interpret and apply relevant building codes, planning regulations, the National Construction Code (NCC), and AS/NZS standards in all drafting and documentation tasks.
- Coordinate documentation and design details across architectural, structural, and engineering consultants to ensure cohesive project execution.
- Support the preparation and review of documentation for Development Applications (DA), Construction Certificates (CC), and Occupation Certificates (OC).
- Liaise with consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, clients, and statutory authorities to facilitate design compliance, approvals, and project delivery, with minimal supervision.
- Participate in site inspections, prepare site instructions, and incorporate field changes into as-built drawings.
- Manage drafting work for Design & Build projects, providing full lifecycle support from initial concept through to construction and completion.
- Maintain organised records of project drawings, revisions, and documentation throughout the design and construction process.
