- Identify inefficiencies and implement improvements across drafting processes, tools, and systems
- Ensure all deliverables consistently meet client, industry, and road authority standards
- Manage multiple concurrent projects, priorities, and deadlines
- Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and quality oversight to junior drafters
About You
- Extensive experience in a senior drafting role within survey, civil, or utilities environments (this is not a graduate or entry-level position)
- Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD or BricsCAD, with the ability to optimise workflows and outputs
- Strong working knowledge of 12d Model outputs and their integration into CAD environments
- Demonstrated experience interpreting complex survey, design, and utility information
- Proven track record in developing or implementing CAD standards, systems, or process improvements
- Ability to operate autonomously and take ownership of technical outcomes
