Structural Drafter

My client a growing engineering consultancy whose niche is remedial and diagnostic engineering is looking to add a Structural Drafter to their team.

On the back of producing high quality work, they have grown their client base year on year, and they have offices not only in Melbourne but nationwide.

You wont be just office based but will also be involved in site and client visits.

We are ideally looking for drafters/technicians with a solid background in residential low rise projects, be they housing or town houses.

Must have at least 12 months local experience

The role:

• Interpretation of site measurements and converting these into site drawings
• Drafting of structural/architectural plans including: timber frame layouts and floor framing on residential and commercial projects
• Site inspections of damaged buildings and measurements
• Working in project teams on building diagnostic projects with engineers and senior drafters.

***- A technical qualification in drafting

• Previous drafting experience on residential projects can be in either architectural studio or engineering firm.
• Previous local experience of at least 12 months with knowledge of codes etc.
• Solid experience with latest versions of Autocad
• Ability to work autonomously and as part of a team.

My client is very big on work life balance and this isn't the type of role where you will be expected to work all hours, with drafters typically doing a 38 hour week.

They also operate a family friendly environment, so when we say work-life balance, they mean it

You also be mentored by a drafting manager as well as go to site and liaise with key stakeholders and builders throughout the project.
