Job Description
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.
n
Why this role is different
n
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.
n
We're a team of five. You'd also work alongside our major client's team day to day, so a valuable part of the role is coordinating directly with them.
n
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:

n
What you'll do
n
n
3D CAD model facade, cladding and structural steel packages, through to shop drawings for architectural, engineering and builder approval
n
Contribute to concept development on design-and-construct projects, from early sketch development to final documentation
n
Prepare fabrication documentation and CAD/CAM output, and work alongside workshop staff through production
n
Interpret architectural and structural specifications and drawings, identifying scope, key features and risks early
n
Extract quantities and material estimates from 3D models
n
Liaise with architects, engineers, project managers and site staff, including on-site inspection of facade elements
n




Manage drawing revisions and document control to our CAD and drafting standards

n
What you'll need
n
n
Four + years of CAD experience, drafting for construction, fabrication or manufacturing
n
Strong 3D CAD skills — SolidWorks preferred, Inventor or Rhino translate well
n
Working knowledge of laser cutting, CNC machining, brake processing, rolling and general metal fabrication processes
n
Ability to read architectural and structural drawings, spot inconsistencies and raise them early
n
Clear written and verbal communication to coordinate project detail directly with project managers, workshop and on-site staff
n
Comfortable running your own packages and pulling in the team when you need to
n
Able to work to delivery programmes and critical path milestones
n
Strong general IT and spreadsheet skills
n
Disciplined digital organisation and document management
n
n
Helpful, not essential
n
n
Facade, curtain wall or cladding experience
n
Prefabricated construction methodology

Experience with 3D scanning and point cloud survey data as modelling reference
n
Mechanical CAD design background — assembly modelling or manufactured products
n
n
About the wider business
n
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.
n
What we offer
n
n
Genuine ownership of your own packages, with senior support close by
n
A small, fast-moving team on real deadlines — direct, well-organised, and short on bureaucracy
