Job Description
\n
Supersuite is a design and drafting studio in Beverley. We design and document commercial facades and prefabricated construction for major projects in South Australia and nationally — aluminium facade systems, curtain wall, GRC and resin composite forms, structural steel & sheet metal.
\n
Why this role is different
\n
Most facade drafting roles are one seat in a documentation line. Ours isn't. The team is small enough that you'll take a package from architectural intent through to shop drawings, fabrication detailing, preparation for manufacture and on-site delivery, work directly with the workshop on how it gets built, and see it go up.
\n
We're a team of five. You'd also work alongside our major client's team day to day, so a good part of the role is coordinating directly with them.
\n
Most of our construction work runs through a long-term partnership with one of South Australia's major facade contractors, generally on landmark projects across the state. You can see a selection of our previous work here: .au
\n
What you'll do
\n
\n - 3D CAD model facade, cladding and structural steel packages, through to shop drawings for architectural, engineering and builder approval
\n - Contribute to concept development on design-and-construct projects, from early sketch development to final documentation
\n - Prepare fabrication documentation and CAD/CAM output, and work alongside workshop staff through production
\n - Interpret architectural and structural specifications and drawings, identifying scope, key features and risks early
\n - Extract quantities and material estimates from 3D models
\n - Liaise with architects, engineers, project managers and site staff, including on-site inspection of facade elements
\n - Manage drawing revisions and document control to our CAD and drafting standards
\n
\n
What you'll need
\n
\n - Four + years of CAD experience, drafting for construction, fabrication or manufacturing
\n - Strong 3D CAD skills — SolidWorks preferred, Inventor or Rhino translate well
\n - Working knowledge of laser cutting, CNC machining, brake processing, rolling and general metal fabrication processes
\n - Ability to read architectural and structural drawings, spot inconsistencies and raise them early
\n - Clear written and verbal communication to coordinate project detail directly with project managers, workshop and on-site staff
\n - Comfortable running your own packages and pulling in the team when you need to
\n - Able to work to delivery programmes and critical path milestones
\n - Strong general IT and spreadsheet skills
\n - Disciplined digital organisation and document management
\n
\n
Helpful, not essential
\n
\n - Facade, curtain wall or cladding experience
\n - Structural steel, sheet metal or general metal fabrication drafting
\n - Prefabricated construction methodology
\n - Experience with 3D scanning and point cloud survey data as modelling reference
\n - Mechanical CAD design background — assembly modelling or manufactured products
\n - Relevant degree, diploma or TAFE qualification
\n
\n
About the wider business
\n
Supersuite is also a product design and commercialisation consultancy — that's the work on our website. The facade and construction side runs as a separate arm with its own clients, and it's where this role sits. A product or industrial design background is useful here, and there are occasional crossover work opportunities — but this is a facade and construction drafting role.
\n
What we offer
\n
\n - Genuine ownership of your own packages, with senior support close by
\n - A small, fast-moving team on real deadlines — direct, well-organised, and short on bureaucracy
\n - Work that gets built, and built locally
