Robust working knowledge of 12D, supported by AutoCAD
Strong capability in civil design and drafting for complex, multidisciplinary projects

Open and adaptable to working with offshore design and drafting resources
A collaborative approach and a passion for mentoring junior designers
Be part of a consultancy actively growing its Mining & Resources capability
Work on complex, technically challenging resources projects
Genuine flexibility on location the business isn't location-based, with team members across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba
