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.
Why this role is different
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.
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.
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: https://facade.supersuite.com.au
What you'll do
- 3D CAD model facade, cladding and structural steel packages, through to shop drawings for architectural, engineering and builder approval
- Contribute to concept development on design-and-construct projects, from early sketch development to final documentation
- Prepare fabrication documentation and CAD/CAM output, and work alongside workshop staff through production
- Interpret architectural and structural specifications and drawings, identifying scope, key features and risks early
- Extract quantities and material estimates from 3D models
- Liaise with architects, engineers, project managers and site staff, including in office inspection of facade elements
- Manage drawing revisions and document control to our CAD and drafting standards
What you'll need
- Four years of CAD experience, drafting for construction, fabrication or manufacturing
- Strong 3D CAD skills — SolidWorks preferred, Inventor or Rhino translate well
- Working knowledge of laser cutting, CNC machining, brake processing, rolling and general metal fabrication processes
- Ability to read architectural and structural drawings, spot inconsistencies and raise them early
- Clear written and verbal communication to coordinate project detail directly with project managers, workshop and on-site staff
- Comfortable running your own packages and pulling in the team when you need to
- Able to work to delivery programmes and critical path milestones
- Strong general IT and spreadsheet skills
- Disciplined digital organisation and document management
Helpful, not essential
- Facade, curtain wall or cladding experience
- Structural steel, sheet metal or general metal fabrication drafting
- Prefabricated construction methodology
- Experience with 3D scanning and point cloud survey data as modelling reference
- Mechanical CAD design background — assembly modelling or manufactured products
- Relevant degree, diploma or TAFE qualification
About the wider business
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.
What we offer
- Genuine ownership of your own packages, with senior support close by
- A small, fast-moving team on real deadlines — direct, well-organised, and short on bureaucracy
- Work that gets built, and built locally
How to apply
