Newcastle-based role supporting high-impact, national projects in the growing resource recovery sector.
Tier 1 consulting environment with sophisticated digital delivery workflows.
Opportunity to work within a specialized, high-performing team that values technical drafting excellence.

About SMEC

Delivering exceptional outcomes starts with having exceptional people.

SMEC provides unique opportunities to work on iconic industry projects with experienced colleagues and leadership teams. Every employee plays a key role in shaping our business and is driven by teamwork, progressive thinking and creative ideas. We are committed to providing platforms to enable our people to engage in the business, deliver value to clients

Infrastructure

At SMEC, we understand that our continued success within the infrastructure market is the result of building long-term client relationships. We listen and understand the specific needs of our clients and deliver a complete value chain of services to provide sustainable solutions across major infrastructure projects worldwide.

The role

We are seeking a technical specialist in Civil Drafting to join our high-performing Waste and Resource Recovery team in Newcastle. This role is strictly focused on the high-quality delivery of construction-ready civil documentation and precision modelling for complex environmental infrastructure.

Supporting two Senior Designers on a national project pipeline, you will be responsible for the drafting and modelling of landfill cells, capping systems, and supporting civil infrastructure. This is a role for a drafter who takes pride in the "craft" of civil documentation—ensuring accuracy, consistency, and technical excellence across every plan set.

Core Civil Drafting Responsibilities

Construction Documentation: Produce comprehensive civil drawing packages, including site plans, long sections, cross sections, and detailed design drawings for landfill cells and caps.
Infrastructure Design: Draft and detail stormwater management systems, drainage networks, leachate collection systems, and heavy-duty access roads.
Standards Management: Ensure all drafting adheres strictly to company and project-specific CAD standards, maintaining high-level presentation and technical clarity.
Digital Workflows: Manage and sync design data across Autodesk Vault and ACC (BIM 360), ensuring a "single source of truth" for the national team.

Technical Toolkit

AutoCAD: Expert-level 2D/3D drafting, including sheet set management and Xref coordination.
Autodesk Vault & ACC: Proven experience in engineering document control and cloud-based collaboration.
Synergy: Ability to manage project tasks and time-tracking within a structured system.
12D Model: Advanced proficiency in civil modelling, tin generation, and drainage strings.

Experience & Requirements

Years of Experience: 3+ years in a dedicated Civil Drafting role (consultancy experience preferred).
Civil Expertise: A strong background in heavy civil infrastructure, earthworks, or environmental engineering projects.
Collaboration: Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, including providing clear instructions and feedback to offshore delivery partners.
Detail-Oriented: A rigorous approach to QA/QC, ensuring drawings are error-free before they reach the Senior Designer or Client.

What We Offer

Flexible/work from home (WFH) options
Dynamic career pathways and “SMEC” Adventures
Professional Development Programs from graduates to leaders
Mentoring by industry leaders
Tertiary Education Assistance
Annual “Celebration Day” leave
Purchased additional annual leave
Generous paid parental leave (primary and secondary)
Wellbeing benefits
Active social club and events
