Electrical Design Drafter

Brisbane | Newcastle | Wollongong

Tired of pumping out drawings no one respects or uses properly?

This role is different.

At Alliance Automation, drafting sits right in the middle of project delivery — not off to the side. You’ll be working directly with engineers on industrial systems that actually get built and commissioned, across water, mining, energy and manufacturing.

No recycling old drawings. No endless markups with no context. Just real work, done properly.

Why people move into this role

• You get variety — multiple industries, different project types
• You work with engineers who know what they’re doing
• Your drawings actually mean something on site
• You’re not boxed into one narrow scope of work
• You get exposure across full project lifecycles

If you’re currently stuck doing repetitive drafting or disconnected from the real job — this fixes that.

What you’ll be doing

• Producing clear, accurate electrical drawings in AutoCAD
• Working alongside engineers to turn concepts into buildable outputs
• Supporting projects from early design through to delivery
• Managing your work to hit deadlines without sacrificing quality
• Applying Australian Standards properly — not just ticking boxes

What we actually care about

• You can use AutoCAD properly — fast, clean, structured
• You understand how drawings relate to real industrial installations
• Ideally, you come from an electrical trade background (highly regarded)
• You’ve got 3–5+ years of electrical drafting experience, preferably in industrial or project environments
• You take pride in your work — not just “get it out the door”
• You communicate well with engineers and project teams

Where you can be based

We’re flexible — this role can be based in:

Brisbane | Newcastle | Wollongong

The bottom line

If you want an easy, repetitive drafting role — this isn’t it.

If you want to get better, work on proper projects, and build something long-term — and actually see your work come to life — you’ll fit in well here.
