  • Maintain organized file management and drawing registers across all projects.
  • Ensure all work aligns with Australian residential construction practices and building standards.
  • Deliver construction-ready documentation that meets industry expectations.

Requirements:

  • Must have previous experience as a Drafter working directly with Australian architects, builders, or clients.
  • Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD (2D drafting, xrefs, and file structuring).
  • Demonstrated knowledge of Australian residential construction techniques and standards.
  • Strong understanding of Australian documentation conventions and market expectations.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to produce high-quality work with minimal supervision.
  • Strong English communication skills for effective remote collaboration.
  • Bonus if you have 3D modelling and rendering skills.
