Senior Engineering Draftsman

An established structural engineering consultancy is looking for a Senior Structural Drafter to join its Adelaide team.

This is a hands on role at the centre of the project delivery process. You will turn engineering design into accurate, build ready documentation across a varied workload. Commercial, industrial, residential all feature.

The business has a strong project pipeline and a reputation for quality. You will work directly with engineers and project leads, not at arm's length from them. Your detailing will carry real weight in how projects get built.

What You Will Do

Produce structural drawings and documentation for steel, concrete and timber structures

Develop models and detailed drawings from engineer sketches, markups and design intent

Detail connections, footings, slabs, framing and reinforcement to a high standard

Coordinate documentation with architects, builders and other consultants

Run drawing registers and keep document control tight across project stages

Check and mentor junior and intermediate drafters where needed

Flag buildability and coordination issues early and offer practical fixes

Keep documentation aligned with relevant Australian Standards and project specifications

What You Bring

Strong structural detailing experience across multiple materials and project types

Confidence working independently from engineer markups with minimal rework

Sound knowledge of structural documentation standards and detailing conventions

A sharp eye for accuracy, coordination and buildability

The ability to manage your own workload across several live projects

Clear communication with engineers, drafters and external consultants

A collaborative approach and a willingness to lift the standard of those around you

Software

Revit (structural)

AutoCAD

Strong Revit capability is highly regarded.

Why This Role

Permanent role with a consultancy that values its drafting team

Direct line to the engineers, not buried under layers of process

Genuine project variety rather than the same job on repeat

Scope to grow into a lead detailing or coordination role over time
