We seek skilled hsbCAD professionals, with a strong knowledge of timber frame, light steel frame / light gauge steel (LSF / LGSF), SIPS or CLT construction to join this motivated and well cultured team.

The company has a unique, flexible and innovative offsite manufactured panelised system, and is set for rapid growth and expansion given the 100% success rate in tendering and strong interest from tier 1 builders. Although relatively new their system is certified and approved, and has high performance values for all key metrics. They are aiming at a broad range of commercial markets with this as a whole building structure solution.

Reporting directly to the Design Manager you will be responsible for creating detailed and accurate hsbCAD models, shop drawings, cutting lists, CNC exports from Architectural and Structural Drawings

  • Expert hands on hsbCAD Designer - this is highly desirable and candidates with this experience will be given priority

Full assistance will be given towards visa processing, relocation and flights. Whilst living expenses in Australia are currently a little higher than the UK the salaries are considerably higher. Whilst salary shouldn't be your primary motivator, you can expect to achieve very attractive remuneration. Working in Western Australia won't suit everyone but if you like the idea of being able to finish (most days) in time to go to the beach, this could be your ideal.
