Draftsperson

An exciting opportunity has become available at Renrow Steel . We are currently seeking an experienced structural Draftsperson to join our Canberra Team.

About the role: 

We’re looking for someone who can work collaboratively with our projects team to produce effective shop drawings for fabrication and installation purposes. Some projects will require us to draft to engineer’s specifications, whilst other projects will require collaboration and design between you and the Project Manager to achieve innovative outcomes for our clients. We supply and install over a thousand tonnes of steel and aluminium each year across Canberra and Sydney, so we’ll continue to work closely with our team of external draftspeople to spread the load, and there’ll be times where you’ll be integral to coordinating projects with them. 

The types of work we draft include structural steel for commercial and industrial buildings, high-end commercial and residential architectural steel, and metalwork like balustrades, handrails, decorative facades/screening, etc. The right candidate will have a good eye for detail, an effective work ethic, and good communication skills. They’ll be motivated by design and collaboration, interested in steel and aluminium, and attracted to the constant pursuit of improvement. 

The role is based in our head office in Hume, ACT.   

About us:

We recently completed a three-storey prefabricated modular concrete building at Canberra Hospital (the first of its type in Canberra), and we’re currently working on several modular timber and CLT projects that complement our existing skillset. 

Our team is brimming with energetic people who are excited about what we do. We enjoy being able to see our work when it’s finished and know that our contributions made a difference to the outcome. The leaders of our company care greatly for the growth and happiness of employees from which our company culture is firmly set.
