Significant project wins mean we are expanding our Sydney team. We are seeking an experienced and driven Designer / Drafter to join our award-winning consultancy. This role offers the opportunity to work on technically complex façade and structural projects both locally and internationally, as part of a highly collaborative and innovative multi-disciplinary team. The position involves leading the technical drafting and modelling delivery of façade and structural packages, working closely with Engineers and supporting Junior Drafters to ensure high-quality outcomes across all project stages — from concept development through to construction and site inspections.

The Role

  • Leading the production of high-quality 2D drawings and 3D models for façade and structural systems, including steel, concrete, timber, glazing, and composite assemblies.
  • Working on interstate and international projects across a diverse range of building types.
  • Providing technical guidance and mentoring to Junior Drafters, reviewing outputs, and assisting with resource planning and workflow coordination.
  • Liaising directly with Engineers and Clients to support smooth project delivery and ensure deadlines are met.
  • Developing and maintaining company CAD/BIM standards, templates, libraries, and document control procedures.
  • Coordinating drawing packages across multiple disciplines and managing consultant interfaces.
  • Participating in site inspections, project meetings, and contributing to technical documentation and reports.

Qualifications, Skills, and Experience

  • Tertiary qualification or trade/technical background in Drafting, Architecture, Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 3+ years of relevant experience in façades with senior-level responsibility.
  • Strong experience across a wide range of façade systems, including but not limited to glazing systems (window wall, curtain wall, stick system, skylights, etc.), metal cladding, masonry, CFC, terracotta/ceramic, composite facades & associated interfaces.
  • Experience in DBPA project drafting will be considered advantageous.
  • Experience in structural drafting will be considered advantageous.
  • Demonstrated experience preparing detailed structural drawings for steel, reinforced and post-tensioned concrete, and timber structures.
  • Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and 3D modelling software (e.g. Revit, Rhino, or similar).
  • Strong understanding of construction methodologies, shop drawing standards, and buildability considerations.
  • Ability to interpret engineering concepts, design intent, and technical specifications accurately.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities concurrently.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively within a team environment.

All applicants must be either Australian citizens or permanent residents.
