Job description

Veridian Environments designs bespoke, passive solar homes across the ACT and NSW, led by our registered architect. What makes us different: we also make our own insulated precast concrete panels in our own yard. The drawings you produce don't sit in a folder. You'll see them become panels, then a home.

We're looking for an architectural draftsperson who takes pride in a clean, accurate drawing set and wants to work closely with a principal architect.

What the work involves

• Preparing DA, CDC and Construction Certificate drawing sets for homes in the ACT and NSW
• Turning concept designs into full documentation in Revit: plans, elevations, sections and details
• Building 3D models in SketchUp for design development and client presentations
• Making amendments from client, council and consultant feedback
• Coordinating with engineers, energy assessors and certifiers
• Keeping drawing registers and revisions tidy

You'll have

• 2+ years drafting residential work in Australia
• Strong, proven experience in both Revit and SketchUp
• A working knowledge of the NCC and of ACT and/or NSW approvals
• A careful eye for detail. You check your own work before anyone else does.
• Clear communication and good at managing your own workload

Highly regarded

• Precast or concrete construction experience
• BASIX or NatHERS experience
• A drafting qualification (Diploma of Building Design or similar)

What we offer

• Real design work on architect-designed homes, not volume builds
• A small team where your work is seen and valued
• Hands-on learning across design, precast and approvals
• Room to grow into a senior role as we grow
