Job Description
Fitin Pty Ltd - Seven Hills, Sydney NSW Full-Time | Flexible working arrangements available for the right candidate
About Fitin
Fitin is a growing Sydney-based joinery manufacturing company delivering residential and commercial joinery projects.
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.
This is not an entry-level drafting position.
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.
The Role
You will receive a project including architectural drawings, specifications, schedules, site information and other relevant documentation and coordinate it through the pre-production process.
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.
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.
Key Responsibilities
Mozaik Drafting & Design
Prepare detailed joinery and cabinetry shop drawings using Mozaik Cabinet Software
Interpret architectural drawings, specifications, schedules, site measurements and client requirements
Develop practical and manufacturable cabinetry solutions from the design documentation
Prepare plans, elevations, sections, dimensions and relevant construction details
Ensure cabinetry dimensions, materials, finishes and hardware are correctly documented
Review designs for practicality, manufacturing efficiency and material usage
Prepare production-ready information including cut lists, material lists and CNC/manufacturing data where required
Check your own drawings carefully before they are issued
Shop Drawing & Approval Coordination
Prepare and issue shop drawings for client/builder review
Maintain accurate drawing registers and revision control
Review client, architect and builder comments
Make required amendments accurately and promptly
Reissue revised drawings for approval
Track outstanding approvals and information
Ensure the latest approved drawings are clearly identified before anything is released to production
Identify discrepancies or missing information before they become factory or installation problems
Material Take-Off & Allocation
Once a project is approved:
Generate and verify material requirements from Mozaik and project documentation
Prepare board, hardware and component requirements
Calculate quantities required for production
Check available stock before purchasing additional material
Allocate existing stock to projects where appropriate
Consider material optimisation and wastage when calculating requirements
Confirm specified colours, finishes, thicknesses and hardware before ordering
Purchasing & Supplier Coordination
Prepare and place purchase orders for project materials and hardware
Liaise with board, hardware and other relevant suppliers
Obtain pricing where required
Confirm availability and lead times
Coordinate deliveries with the production programme
Follow up outstanding orders
Confirm ordered materials have been received
Check deliveries against purchase orders and project requirements
Escalate shortages, incorrect materials or delivery issues before they affect production
Project Coordination
Maintain visibility of each allocated project from drafting through production release
Coordinate project information between management, client/builder, suppliers and factory
Track key dates including drawing submission, approval, material ordering and production readiness
Identify potential delays or technical problems early
Keep project documentation organised and current
Assist with variations and changes throughout the project
Provide management with clear updates on project status and outstanding actions
Project Cost Control
Assist with maintaining project cost information
Record major material and hardware purchases against projects
Compare estimated material requirements with actual purchasing where required
Identify significant material or scope variations
Assist management with basic project cost tracking
Maintain organised supplier quotations, purchase orders and project records
Production Support
Release accurate and approved information to production
Communicate technical requirements clearly with the factory
Respond to production queries and resolve drawing or material issues
Make controlled drawing changes where necessary
Help ensure the factory is always working from the latest approved information
Support continuous improvement of drafting, purchasing and production workflows

Strong attention to detail
Valuable organisational and time-management skills

The Person We're Looking For

What materials do we need?
What do we already have in stock?
What needs to be ordered?
Has everything arrived?
Is the project genuinely ready for production?
Accuracy, organisation and ownership are extremely important in this position.
