Job Overview

Our client is seeking an AutoCAD Draftsperson to serve as the technical backbone for a boutique interior design practice, translating creative concepts into precise construction-ready drawings.

This role offers significant autonomy and the opportunity to contribute design thinking while managing the drafting cycle for mid to high-end residential interiors.
