Role Overview

Our client is an established SME construction firm seeking a hands-on, meticulous Draftsman to join their lean technical team. In this role, you will play a key operational part in translating architectural concepts and structural plans into accurate, buildable construction drawings. You will work closely with the Project Managers, Site Engineers, and external consultants to ensure all drawings meet local regulatory submission standards and site execution needs.

• Site Verification & Measurement: Conduct on-site measurements and site walk-throughs to verify dimensions and reconcile design drawings with actual site conditions.
• Drawing Management & Version Control: Organise, update, and maintain a systematic drawing register, ensuring site teams and sub-contractors are always working from the latest revised drawings.
