Transform Your Skills as a Structural Designer in the Australian Defence Force

We are seeking skilled individuals to join our team as Draughtspersons, where you will utilize your mathematical skills and passion for architecture to create detailed designs and construction plans on various projects.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Combine mathematical skills and architectural knowledge to develop concept design and prepare sketches for bespoke project requirements
  • Conduct site investigations, surveys, and analysis, and apply building codes and regulatory requirements to develop design and documentation
  • Create 3D CAD model flythroughs and apply technical skills to model building design projects

A Day in the Life:

You will spend time visiting sites to understand design requirements, then bringing them to life using 3D technologies. You'll work with Combat, Engineering, Infantry, and Cavalry units, tackling a wider variety of projects than non-military roles.

Training and Progression:

You don't need prior experience; we'll provide training through Initial Employment Training (IET). Upon completion, your first posting will likely be to Sydney, Brisbane, or Ipswich. You'll learn all necessary skills, including site inspection and assessment, designing compliant products, and creating building layouts.

Benefits:

You'll have high levels of responsibility from day one, leveraging quick-thinking and resourcefulness to work autonomously and juggle multiple projects. Regular travel opportunities and engagement with diverse cultures are part of this role.

In-Service Information:

This role is known as Drafting Technician within the Army. The estimated salary range for this position is $80,000 - $120,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
