DUT Projects is looking for an experienced, versatile Senior Draftsperson / Design Technician to join our growing team. This role is best suited to someone with a solid understanding of construction site operations and a proven ability to translate complex, multidisciplinary requirements into clear, coordinated technical drawings.
We operate at the intersection of construction planning, temporary works design, and BIM integration — and we’re looking for someone who thrives in that space.
What You’ll Be Doing
Your day-to-day will span multiple disciplines, including but not limited to:
- Developing site layout plans for a range of construction and temporary works scenarios.
- Preparing Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) and Pedestrian Accommodation Plans (PAPs) with accurate signage layouts and routing.
- Assisting with temporary site establishment designs, including hoardings, access routes, and logistics planning.
- Supporting the team with 3D visual representations, construction sequencing diagrams, and technical presentation material (depending on skillset).
- Interpreting and integrating architectural, civil, and services information into coordinated construction drawings.
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years of relevant experience, either on-site or within a design/coordination role.
- Strong AutoCAD proficiency (essential).
- Revit experience is a strong advantage, particularly in multi-disciplinary coordination.
- Deep understanding of construction methodology, site logistics, and technical drawings.
- Must be based in Cape Town, South Africa.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and interface with project managers, engineers, and technical staff.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with South African road signage standards and construction traffic layouts.
- Familiarity with BIM workflows, model-based planning, or rendering software such as Twinmotion, Lumion, or similar.
- A portfolio showing multidisciplinary technical work.
About DUT Projects
