ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our client is an independent Australian commercial construction company, founded in 1988 with family business roots and now in its second generation of leadership, delivering design and construction projects nationally. The business specialises in childcare and education, medical and hospital, and veterinary sector projects, alongside general commercial office fit-outs and renovations.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You are here to produce accurate, coordinated and buildable documentation for the company's childcare, medical and veterinary projects.
You will take established design intent, client requirements and consultant information and turn them into clear documentation that can be priced, approved and constructed.
This is a documentation role, not a concept design role — you don't need to be the person developing the big design idea. The company needs someone who enjoys taking a design and making it work technically, documenting it properly and getting it ready to build.
Documentation draws on information supplied by the internal design team, engineers and consultants — but external coordination with consultants and contractors is handled by a dedicated preconstruction team, so this role's coordination is primarily internal, incorporating information that's provided to you rather than chasing it down yourself.
PRIMARY PURPOSE
To produce accurate, coordinated and timely construction documentation — taking established design intent, client requirements and consultant information and turning them into drawings and schedules that can be priced, approved and constructed, with minimal rework and minimal RFIs.
▸ Commitment to Clients and Quality
Produce accurate, coordinated and timely documentation
Review drawings thoroughly and identify gaps, clashes and risks
Maintain design intent through the documentation process
Coordinate information from Designers, consultants, clients, Technical and Delivery
Maintain drawing revisions and project files
Take ownership of documentation tasks and communicate issues early
Work collaboratively and calmly under project deadlines
▸ What You'll Deliver
Produce plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules for construction
Develop documentation from established design concepts
Coordinate architectural, interior, consultant and technical information
Maintain accurate drawings and schedules through revisions
Identify and resolve documentation issues before construction
Meet agreed documentation milestones and project deadlines
Support the Delivery team with documentation queries during construction
▸ Industry & Technical Knowledge
Apply demonstrated construction documentation experience to every drawing set
Draw on a strong understanding of construction methods, materials and detailing
Apply working knowledge of the NCC/BCA, Australian Standards and approval requirements
Produce documentation in Revit and other relevant documentation software
Recognise when further technical advice is required, and find the right person to ask
▸ Working Hours
Full-time, aligned to Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) business hours, working the same calendar as the Australian-based team
These values are non-negotiable:
Make it happen — take ownership and get things done
Know what you're doing — build technical knowledge and earn trust
We are a family business — contribute to a positive and respectful culture
We treat people well — work collaboratively and respectfully
Minimum 5 years of demonstrated experience producing construction documentation — plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules
Comfortable developing documentation from an established design concept, rather than originating the design
Experience applying architectural, interior, consultant and technical information into one buildable set — coordination on this role is internal, with the design team, not external with consultants or contractors
Able to work full time on hours aligned to Australian business hours (AEST)
Strong understanding of construction methods, materials and detailing
Working knowledge of the NCC/BCA, Australian Standards and approval requirements
Proficiency in Revit, applying provided templates and families with accurate tagging and dimensioning (advanced Revit modelling or custom family-building is not required for this role)
Methodical and detail-focused — reviews drawings thoroughly and identifies gaps, clashes and risks before they reach construction
Ability to identify when further technical advice is required, and find the right answer rather than guess
Takes ownership of documentation tasks and communicates issues early, working calmly under project deadlines
A capable computer able to run Revit smoothly, and a private home office suitable for full-time remote work
Prior documentation experience specifically in childcare/education, medical/hospital or veterinary sector projects
Familiarity with additional documentation or coordination software such as AutoCAD, Bluebeam or Navisworks
Experience with joinery documentation — detailing and populating an already-positioned layout (cupboards, sinks, overhead cabinetry) rather than making placement decisions
Experience supporting a Delivery/construction team with documentation queries during the build phase
