Junior Drafter

We are seeking a technical specialist in Civil Drafting to join our high-performing Waste and Resource Recovery team in Newcastle. This role is strictly focused on the high-quality delivery of construction-ready civil documentation and precision modelling for complex environmental infrastructure.

Supporting two Senior Designers on a national project pipeline, you will be responsible for the drafting and modelling of landfill cells, capping systems, and supporting civil infrastructure. This is a role for a drafter who takes pride in the "craft" of civil documentation—ensuring accuracy, consistency, and technical excellence across every plan set.

Core Civil Drafting Responsibilities

• Construction Documentation: Produce comprehensive civil drawing packages, including site plans, long sections, cross sections, and detailed design drawings for landfill cells and caps.
• Infrastructure Design: Draft and detail stormwater management systems, drainage networks, leachate collection systems, and heavy-duty access roads.
• Standards Management: Ensure all drafting adheres strictly to company and project-specific CAD standards, maintaining high-level presentation and technical clarity.
• Digital Workflows: Manage and sync design data across Autodesk Vault and ACC (BIM 360) , ensuring a "single source of truth" for the national team.

Technical Toolkit

• AutoCAD: Expert-level 2D/3D drafting, including sheet set management and Xref coordination.
• Autodesk Vault & ACC: Proven experience in engineering document control and cloud-based collaboration.
• Synergy: Ability to manage project tasks and time-tracking within a structured system.
• 12D Model: Advanced proficiency in civil modeling, tin generation, and drainage strings.

Experience & Requirements

• Years of Experience: 3+ years in a dedicated Civil Drafting role (consultancy experience preferred).
• Civil Expertise: A strong background in heavy civil infrastructure, earthworks, or environmental engineering projects.
• Collaboration: Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, including providing clear instructions and feedback to offshore delivery partners.
• Detail-Oriented: A rigorous approach to QA/QC, ensuring drawings are error-free before they reach the Senior Designer or Client.

What We Offer

• A Newcastle-based role supporting high-impact, national projects in the growing resource recovery sector.
• A Tier 1 consulting environment with sophisticated digital delivery workflows.
• The opportunity to work within a specialized, high-performing team that values technical drafting excellence.
