Mechanical Draftsperson HVAC | AU | Onsite
Job Summary
- Drafting & Documentation (Primary Responsibility)
- Produce CAD drawings for mechanical/HVAC installations including ductwork layouts plant rooms and equipment installations.
- Draw to the level of detail a duct manufacturer needs to fabricate the ductwork directly from your drawings. This includes duct dimensions bend/radius sizing insulation thickness allowances and set-downs. Nothing should be left for the duct shop to guess at.
- Make it fit properly. Every duct run pipe and piece of plant you draw has to be checked and coordinated against the structure and against every other trades services so whats on the page is what will actually go in on site.
- Include the detail site installers need to install the work exactly as designed including duct height and level and locations referenced against fixed identifiable site features.
- Nominate every air outlet individually. Every grille diffuser and louvre needs its type size and design airflow shown on the drawing with its own unique reference number or tag.
- Keep drawings and schedules in lockstep. Tag numbers sizes and airflows shown on the drawing must match the schedule exactly.
- Where a single drawing becomes cluttered or difficult to read split information across multiple drawings to improve readability.
- Self-review all work before submission by checking for clutter missing tags incorrect dimensions missing information or inconsistencies before presenting for approval.
- Equipment Selection & Schedules
- Prepare equipment schedules and present them to clients for review and sign-off.
- Once a schedule is approved liaise directly with suppliers to obtain equipment data including physical dimensions spigot sizes and duct connection sizes and incorporate this information accurately into drawings.
- Project Close-Out Documentation
- Assist with compiling operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals at project completion including collating manufacturers technical data sheets for all installed equipment.
- Write clear plain-language descriptions explaining how building occupants operate and interact with air conditioning systems for inclusion in client handover manuals
- Every element on a drawing has to earn its place. Nothing is included without being thought through and nothing is left off because it seemed too minor to matter.
- "Good enough" isnt the bar. We want someone who is naturally self-critical about their own output and asks whether a drawing is genuinely correct before it reaches the client.
- Precision in the small things is what protects the big things. Correct grille tags airflows set-downs and clearances are essential.
- Take the time needed to get it right the first time. Preventing drawing errors is far more valuable than fixing issues after fabrication or installation.
- Key Attributes Were Looking For
- Methodical and meticulous with a focus on detail rather than rushing to completion.
- Genuinely self-critical and comfortable reviewing and marking up their own work before submission.
- Takes ownership and pride in the accuracy and presentation of work produced.
- Understands or is willing to learn why every piece of detail on a mechanical drawing exists not just how to draw it.
- Required Skills & Experience
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g. AutoCAD) with experience drafting mechanical/HVAC services.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word.
- Proficiency with Adobe applications (e.g. Acrobat) for PDF markup and document preparation.
- Strong attention to detail and a self-critical approach to checking the quality of your own work
