Canberra, ACT | Full-time
We are seeking an experienced
CAD Draftsperson
to support the design and delivery of technically complex building projects in Canberra.
This role is suited to someone with strong AutoCAD capability and, importantly, practical experience preparing drawings for
electronic, electrical or ICT systems within built environments
.
You will work closely with project managers, engineers, technicians and other building-services disciplines to produce accurate, coordinated and construction-ready documentation across the full project lifecycle.
The Role
You will be responsible for developing and maintaining detailed technical documentation for building-based electronic systems, from initial design and tender documentation through construction, installation and final as-built drawings.
Your responsibilities will include:
Producing detailed CAD drawings including plans, layouts, schematics, cable routes, elevations, details and system block diagrams
Preparing documentation for electronic and electrical systems installed within commercial and institutional buildings
Developing drawing packages for tender, construction, installation, client approval, commissioning and as-built handover
Reviewing and updating drawings to reflect design changes, site conditions and final installations
Interpreting architectural drawings, electrical drawings,



specifications and scopes of work
Coordinating documentation with architectural, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, ICT and other building-services disciplines
Identifying clashes, incomplete information and constructability issues before they reach site
Working closely with engineers, project managers, technicians, estimators and subcontractors to ensure designs are practical and buildable
Maintaining drawing registers, revision control and document-management standards
Participating in design reviews and occasional site inspections to verify installation conditions and capture as-built information
These responsibilities reflect the emphasis in the position description on detailed CAD documentation, cross-disciplinary coordination and producing practical, buildable designs.
What We're Looking For
The key requirement for this position is
experience drafting electronic or electrical systems within buildings
.
You may have come from electrical, communications, ICT, building automation, controls, AV, fire, data, building services or another technically comparable environment. The specific industry is less important than your understanding of how electronic systems are documented, coordinated and physically installed within buildings.
You will ideally bring:
Demonstrated skilled experience using
AutoCAD or similar CAD software
Experience preparing technical drawings for
building-based electronic, electrical or ICT systems
A good understanding of building plans, services coordination and construction documentation
Experience producing layouts, schematics, cable routes,



equipment locations and installation details
Ability to interpret specifications, architectural drawings and electrical documentation
Strong understanding of drawing revisions, registers and document-control principles
High attention to detail and accuracy
Ability to manage multiple drawing packages and competing priorities
Strong communication skills and the confidence to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Current Australian driver's licence
The original position description specifically requires demonstrated CAD experience and experience drafting building and services drawings.
Highly Regarded
Experience with any of the following would be advantageous:
Revit, BIM or other 3D drafting environments
Complex commercial, government or institutional building projects
Electrical or electronic systems integration
Construction-stage design coordination
Site surveys and preparation of as-built documentation
Formal qualifications in drafting, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or a related discipline
Clearance Requirement
Due to the nature of some projects, applicants must either:
hold a current Australian Government NV1 security clearance, or be eligible and willing to obtain NV1 clearance.
The underlying position requires the ability to maintain NV1 clearance.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on technical drafting position with exposure to significant, technically demanding building projects. You will work across the full documentation lifecycle rather than simply producing drawings in isolation, with direct involvement in design coordination, constructability, installation documentation and final handover.
If you are an experienced CAD Draftsperson with a background in
building electronics, electrical systems or integrated building technology
, we would like to hear from you.
