Drafter Wanted In Singapore

We are looking for a Senior Structural Draftsperson or BIM Modeler with at least three years of experience in architectural and steel structural drawings. You will develop detailed construction shop drawings using AutoCAD and Tekla, manage submissions and revisions with clients, and conduct on-site measurements to resolve clarity gaps. This is not an entry-level drafting role. You need to understand how steel goes together, how architectural interfaces work, and how to communicate technical information clearly to clients and site teams. If you are meticulous, independent, and ready to take ownership of the drawing process from submission to approval, this role offers responsibility, competitive compensation, and career progression.

Company Overview

We are a established structural steel and architectural metalwork contractor serving Singapore’s construction and engineering sectors. Our projects range from commercial buildings and industrial facilities to infrastructure works requiring complex steel framing, architectural features, and precision fabrication.

Unlike large consulting firms, we are a contractor which means our drawings are not theoretical. They are built from. Every detail you model, every dimension you place, and every revision you coordinate directly impacts our fabrication shop and site erection teams. We need a draftsperson who understands that clarity in a drawing prevents rework on the ground. If you are looking for a role where your technical skill directly contributes to project success and you are valued for your expertise, you have found it.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop detailed construction shop drawings and fabrication details using AutoCAD and Tekla Structures software for architectural and steel structural projects.
• Prepare 2D and 3D models, including BIM modeling, to accurately represent steel framing, connections, cladding interfaces, and architectural metalwork.
• Manage the full submission and revision cycle with clients, consultants, and approval authorities, ensuring comments are addressed promptly and accurately.
• Conduct on-site measurements and verification exercises with clients to resolve dimensional ambiguities, interface conflicts, or as-built discrepancies.
• Coordinate closely with project managers, engineers, and fabrication teams to ensure drawings reflect constructible, cost-effective solutions.
• Respond to technical queries from site teams and revise drawings as required to address field conditions.
• Maintain organized drawing registers, revision histories, and submission records in accordance with company quality procedures.
• Ensure all drawings comply with relevant Singapore building codes, SS standards, and client specifications.
• Perform other ad-hoc duties as assigned to support project delivery and business development activities.

Qualifications

Experience:

• Minimum 3 years of working experience in 2D and 3D drafting, BIM modeling, and shop drawing production.
• Proven experience dealing with architectural and steel structural related drawings and works.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D and 3D) is mandatory.
• Proficiency in Tekla Structures (BIM modeling) is mandatory.
• Familiarity with structural steel connections, cladding interfaces, and fabrication detailing.
• Understanding of Singapore building codes and submission requirements is an advantage.

Personal Attributes:

• Details and meticulous you catch errors before they become site issues.
• Able to work independently with minimal supervision, managing multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
• Strong coordination and communication skills to interface effectively with clients, consultants, and internal teams.
• Problem-solving mindset you do not just draft what you are told; you identify issues and propose solutions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Senior Executive specialization in Engineering – Civil-Construction-Structural or equivalent.
• Diploma or Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or related field is an advantage but not mandatory.
• Singaporean candidates are welcome to apply.

Working Arrangement:

• Probation: 5.5 working days (Monday to Friday 9:00 am – 6:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am – 1:00 pm).
• Upon confirmation: Alternate Saturday off.
• Permanent full-time position.

Benefits and Perks

• Competitive monthly salary ranging from $3,500 to $6,000 SGD, commensurate with experience and technical capability.
• Permanent full-time employment with a established structural steel and architectural contractor.
• Alternate Saturday off upon confirmation of employment work-life balance without sacrificing project momentum.
• Tekla and AutoCAD environment. You will work with industry-standard BIM and drafting software.
• Ownership and autonomy. You are not a CAD operator taking instructions; you are a technical contributor whose judgment is trusted.
• Direct client coordination. Your communication skills are valued and utilized.
• Varied project portfolio. Commercial, industrial, and infrastructure works no two projects are identical.
• Career progression pathway to Senior Modeler, BIM Coordinator, or Project Coordination roles.
• Singaporean candidates encouraged to apply.

How to Apply

If you have at least three years of Tekla and AutoCAD experience in structural steel and architectural drafting, and you are ready to take ownership of shop drawing production and client coordination, we want to hear from you.
