Job Overview:
A well-established joinery and interiors company based in NSW is seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled Drawer/Drafter to join the design and engineering team. This role is pivotal in translating design concepts into precise, production-ready technical drawings and 3D models using Pyther.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of commercial furniture construction, materials, and manufacturing processes, with the ability to produce accurate and efficient documentation that supports both design intent and production efficiency.
 
Key Responsibilities:

1. Technical Drafting & 3D Modelling

• Create highly detailed 2D technical drawings and 3D models of commercial furniture including desks, cabinets, workstations, and custom joinery items.
• Develop parametric models using Pyther, ensuring optimal structure, material use, and manufacturability.
• Apply correct joinery methods, material specifications, hardware placement, and dimensions as per project and client requirements.

1. Production-Ready Documentation

• Generate cut lists, material takeoffs, assembly drawings, and CNC-ready files.
• Ensure all documentation complies with internal manufacturing standards, Australian building codes, and client specifications.
• Collaborate with CNC programmers or directly export compatible files for automated production workflows.

1. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with product designers, project managers, engineers, and production teams to interpret design intent and ensure manufacturability.
• Engage in design reviews and offer insights to improve cost-efficiency, ease of manufacturing, and overall product quality.
• Liaise with the workshop floor to resolve technical questions or adapt drawings to fit production constraints.

1. Revision Management & Quality Assurance

• Update and revise drawings based on stakeholder feedback or design changes.
• Conduct self-checks and peer reviews to maintain quality control and accuracy across all documents and files.

1. Software & File System Management

• Organize and maintain drawing files, models, and specifications within Pyther and other PLM systems.
• Stay current with Pyther updates, training opportunities, and industry best practices to continuously enhance workflow efficiency.

 
Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Proficient in Pyther (parametric CAD/CAM software for furniture design).
• Strong understanding of furniture construction methods, commercial joinery, and materials.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes including CNC routing, laminating, edge banding, and hardware integration.
• Ability to read and create technical drawings, shop drawings, and production documents with high accuracy.
• Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to spot inconsistencies or inefficiencies in drawings before production.
• Strong time management skills with the ability to prioritize multiple projects and meet deadlines.

 
Preferred Experience & Background:

• Education or training in Industrial Design, Interior Architecture, Drafting, or Manufacturing Technology.
• Experience in designing custom or modular commercial furniture.
• Familiarity with other software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Cabinet Vision, or Microvellum.
• Prior experience working in a bespoke joinery or commercial fitout environment is highly desirable.

 
What We Offer:

• A collaborative and forward-thinking workplace focused on design excellence and craftsmanship.
• Opportunity to work on diverse, high-end commercial projects.
• A supportive team environment with access to state-of-the-art equipment and tools.
• Ongoing training and professional development in the latest software and design methodologies.
