Are you an experienced Structural Draftsperson or Technician ready for a fresh challenge - and perhaps a change of scenery?
Our partner in regional New South Wales is offering a superb opportunity for a skilled drafter from New Zealand to relocate to Bathurst, where you can combine rewarding work with an enviable lifestyle.
The Role
You'll join a long-established engineering consultancy working across residential, commercial, and industrial projects. This is a hands-on technical role producing high-quality drawings and documentation for steel, concrete, and timberstructures.
You'll collaborate closely with structural engineers, helping to deliver detailed plans and supporting documentation from concept to completion.
Key responsibilities include:
- Drafting and detailing using AutoCAD and/or BricsCAD
- Preparing documentation for residential, commercial, and light-industrial buildings
- Applying Australian and New Zealand standards to structural designs
- Coordinating with engineers and project teams to ensure accuracy and compliance
- Contributing to efficient workflows and quality assurance
What We're Looking For - Minimum 10 years' structural drafting experience across multiple building sectors
- Strong understanding of steel, concrete, and timber structural systems
- Proficiency in AutoCAD (BricsCAD experience an advantage)
- Familiarity with AS/NZS design codes
- Excellent attention to detail, documentation accuracy, and teamwork
Why Bathurst? Just two and a half hours west of Sydney,
Bathurst offers the perfect balance of professional opportunity and relaxed regional living.
It's a city known for its
heritage architecture, vibrant community spirit, and world-class motor-racing culture (home of Mount Panorama). You'll enjoy
affordable housing,
short commutes, and
a welcoming local atmosphere - ideal for families or anyone seeking space and a slower pace without losing access to good schools, healthcare, and modern amenities.
Surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, Bathurst also sits close to the
Blue Mountains and
Central Tablelands, making weekend escapes easy. Many professionals relocating from New Zealand find Bathurst's lifestyle familiar yet sunnier, with outstanding value for property and a genuine sense of community.
What's on Offer - $80 - 95 k AUD + superannuation, depending on experience
- Permanent, full-time position with immediate start available
- Supportive, down-to-earth local team environment
- Assistance with relocation logistics and settling-in guidance
