Start Date: Available Now

Westera Partners is a leading consulting engineering firm with offices across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. We not only deliver high-quality, value-driven civil, structural, and environmental solutions — we’re equally recognised for the way we look after people —both our clients and our team. We pride ourselves on building trusted relationships, fostering professional growth, and creating a workplace where excellence and collaboration are pillars of our long-standing success.

The Opportunity

Due to increasing demand for our services, we are looking for highly motivated Structural Drafters with 8+ years of experience to join our Brisbane and Gold Coast structural engineering teams.  Whether at Southport or in Newstead, our teams consist of talented and capable professionals who love what they do, along with supportive leaders in a people-focussed workplace.

You’ll enjoy working with respected industry professionals and possess the agility required to consistently deliver high-quality work across a diverse range of projects, including:

  • Luxury and Prestige Residential
  • Townhouses and Multi-residential (3–9 storeys)

Requirements for Success

  • Cert IV in Drafting and/or Associate Diploma in Engineering
  • 8+ years relevant experience, ideally gained within a QLD workplace.
  • Advanced skills in AutoCAD with some exposure to Revit.

Key to your success is your ability to problem-solve technical issues and communicate proactively with delivery managers and engineers.  You will have exceptional attention to detail and take pride in producing drawings and documentation of a standard that is second to none.  You understand the challenges that can arise on structural design projects and are able to comfortably demonstrate an ability to keep cool while maintaining pace and the quality of your work.  Our Brisbane and Gold Coast teams value effective communication and collaboration, so we are looking for senior drafters who can demonstrate success working as an integral part of a close-knit team.
