Your designs will need to be structurally sound and quality work. The goal is to create impactful designs that capture and sell our clients company vision.

You will be working as part of the larger design team to understand the concept and requirements of a project from a clients brief. You will then start by drafting conceptual and prototype structures using SketchUp, structural elements and fabricated assets, developing new ideas and streamlining processes. Once a design is formulated you will work with structural engineers to ensure every structure is fit for purpose.

The next step is to produce technical documents such as structure carcass drawings, piece/component drawings, sections, floor plans and electrical plans using AutoCAD and Vectorworks.
