1. Design Drafting & Technical Documentation

• Prepare, develop, and maintain architectural drawings, details, and documentation to required project standards.
• Support drafting requirements across architectural, structural, and MEP elements to ensure coordinated outputs.
• Produce detailed plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and construction details suitable for execution.
• Assist in updating and revising drawings based on design development, coordination, and site feedback.

2. BIM Modelling & Revit Production

• Develop and manage Revit models in line with project BIM standards and workflows.
• Perform cut-throughs, detailing, and model-based documentation directly from coordinated BIM models.
• Prepare schedules, quantities, and drawing outputs extracted from the model.
• Support model coordination and clash awareness across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines.
• Maintain model integrity, accuracy, and consistency across drawing packages.

3. CAD Production & Drawing Control

• Produce and manage AutoCAD drawings, layouts, and technical details where required.
• Ensure correct use of layers, standards, line weights, and drawing conventions.
• Maintain drawing registers and support document control processes.

4. Detailing & Design Support

• Develop high-quality construction details, focusing on buildability, interfaces, and execution clarity.
• Support design refinement through detailed drawing development and technical resolution.
• Assist senior designers and engineers with design coordination and detailing requirements.

5. Visualisation & Graphic Support

• Use Photoshop and visual tools to enhance drawings, diagrams, and technical presentations.
• Support visual clarification of design intent for internal reviews and project communication.
• Assist with renderings, presentation layouts, and graphical enhancements as required.

6. Coordination & Design Interface

• Coordinate drafting outputs across disciplines to ensure alignment and consistency.
• Incorporate comments from technical managers, consultants, and coordination reviews.
• Support issuance of coordinated drawing packages for design, construction, and approvals.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Diploma or degree in Architecture, Architectural Drafting, or a related discipline.
• 10 years experience working as an Architectural Draftsman within a multi-discipline design or construction environment.
• Strong exposure to building projects requiring coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP documentation.

Technical Skills & Software Proficiency

• Expert-level proficiency in AutoCAD for drafting and detailing.
• Advanced working knowledge of Revit (BIM), including modelling, detailing, schedules, and documentation extraction.
• Strong understanding of BIM workflows, coordination principles, and model-based production.
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop for drawing enhancement and visual support.
• Familiarity with visualisation and design tools such as Rayon Design or similar platforms is preferred.
• Strong understanding of construction detailing, materials, and buildability considerations.
