1. Basic function:
The AutoCAD draftsman/technical detailer is responsible for producing accurate and coordinated technical drawings, layouts, and detailed documentation for interior fit-out works.

  - Produce technical documentation for architecture, interior, and MEP integration as required.
  - Create and update drawing sets in line with project stages — from concept to construction.
  - Ensure all drawings follow company standards, templates, and layering conventions.
• Coordination support
  - Work closely with the senior technical designer to incorporate redline comments, design changes, and coordination inputs from other disciplines (MEP, structural, etc.).
  - Ensure that all drawing revisions are clearly tracked and updated across sets.
  - Coordinate closely with the site team to reflect buildability and installation requirements in drawing outputs.
• Material & detail support
  - Assist in developing detailed drawings for bespoke joinery, finishes, and fixtures.
  - Coordinate with suppliers and subcontractors to reflect accurate product dimensions and specifications in the drawings.
  - Support in preparing technical submittals and drawing packages for authority or client review when required.
• File & data management
  - Maintain organized drawing files in the project database in coordination with the senior technical designer and document control.
  - Ensure correct file naming, version control, and layering in line with internal QA/QC procedures.
  - The employee may be required to undertake any other duties or responsibilities as assigned by management from time to time, in line with the role and organizational needs.
