Job Description
Fitin Pty Ltd - Seven Hills, Sydney NSW Full-Time | Flexible working arrangements available for the right candidate

About Fitin
n
Fitin is a growing Sydney-based joinery manufacturing company delivering residential and commercial joinery projects.
n
As our workload continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Joinery Draftsperson / Project Coordinator who can take ownership of projects from initial documentation and drafting through client approval, material procurement and release to production.
n
This is not an entry-level drafting position.
n
We are looking for someone who understands how joinery is actually manufactured and who can manage the technical and coordination side of a project - not simply produce drawings.
n
The Role
n
You will receive a project including architectural drawings, specifications, schedules, site information and other relevant documentation and coordinate it through the pre-production process.
n
Your primary responsibility will be producing accurate joinery designs and shop drawings using Mozaik Cabinet Software, while also coordinating revisions, materials, purchasing, documentation and project information required by our factory.
n
You will work closely with management, clients/builders, suppliers and our production team to make sure each project is properly documented, approved, ordered and ready for manufacture.
n

- Generate and verify material requirements from Mozaik and project documentation

- Prepare board, hardware and component requirements
