• Produce reinforcement detailing for reinforced concrete, as well as structural steel, timber, masonry, and precast concrete documentation.
• Prepare steel fabrication and connection details, temporary works drawings, and as-built documentation where required.
• Interpret engineering calculations and specifications to develop practical, construction-ready details.

2. BIM Modelling and Coordination

• Develop and maintain accurate 3D structural models using Autodesk Revit.
• Coordinate models with architects, structural engineers, and other consultants.
• Identify and resolve design clashes using BIM coordination tools such as Navisworks.
• Generate construction documentation from coordinated BIM models.

3. Project Coordination and Quality Assurance

• Coordinate drafting deliverables with engineers, architects, builders, contractors, and other consultants.
• Review architectural drawings and identify potential structural implications.
• Check drawings for accuracy, completeness, constructability, and compliance with project specifications.
• Ensure documentation aligns with applicable Australian Standards, the National Construction Code (NCC), and client drafting standards.
• Maintain drawing registers, revisions, document control, and project records.
• Assist with site inspections, drawing updates, and responses to Requests for Information (RFIs) when required.

4. Technical Leadership

• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior draftspersons.
• Review completed drawings and help maintain consistent drafting standards.
• Support task allocation, workflow coordination, and the development of drafting templates and procedures.
• Recommend practical drafting solutions and improvements to enhance constructability and documentation quality.

Qualifications and Experience

• Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Civil or Structural Engineering Drafting, or an equivalent qualification.
• Minimum 10 years of structural drafting experience.
• Extensive experience working on Australian structural engineering projects.
• Strong understanding of structural engineering principles, construction methods, and applicable Australian Standards and the NCC.
• Demonstrated experience detailing reinforced concrete, structural steel, timber, masonry, and precast concrete structures.
• Experience with temporary works, fabrication details, and construction documentation is highly desirable.
• Previous experience mentoring or reviewing the work of junior draftspersons.
