The Company:

An award-winning and highly established high-end but affordable home building company, due to continued growth are looking to hire an experienced Building Designer/Architectural Draftsperson to join their growing design and drafting team. 

Purpose of the role:

The role is to initially design a portfolio of single-storey homes ranging from approx: 130m2 to 240m2 and then create master drawings for these designs.

The designs would also require a series of façade options and standard floor plan adjustment options. This stage would involve researching competitor offerings and collaborating with our architecture partners and in-house design team to come up with a product that makes us stand out from the crowd.
  
Once the new designs and master drawings are complete, the role would shift more towards a production drafting role where the master designs would be turned into working drawings for specific job sites. Master drawings would still require continued development after the initial design phase to incorporate feedback from the construction team and other regulatory changes as needed.

• Design a series of façade options and standard 'plug in' floor plan options to suit the new portfolio, including creating separate master drawings to suit.
