Structural Drafter

Mitchell Vranjes is a respected, owner-operated structural engineering consultancy with over 30 years of delivering clear, constructible solutions for commercial, industrial, large residential and specialist projects across Auckland and beyond. The firm takes pride in documentation that site teams trust — drawings that prioritise buildability, early watertightness and efficient construction. MV models reinforcing bars in 3D so connections actually work on site, and the team continually looks at new tools, products and smarter ways of working (including AI) to keep improving.

This is a hands-on Structural Drafter role focused on producing accurate 3D Revit models and extracting high-quality 2D structural documentation. You will work on a mix of projects with a strong emphasis on reinforced concrete (from both building and infrastructure backgrounds is fine, provided you also bring solid building-industry experience). You’ll model and detail structures, manage revisions, support the drafting team to hit deadlines, and collaborate closely with engineers, architects and the wider office while upholding MV’s standards and processes. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Produce precise 3D Revit models and detailed 2D structural drawings for construction using primarily Revit
• Support the drafting team to meet project deadlines while maintaining high standards of accuracy and clarity
• Manage drawing revisions, plans and supporting documentation promptly and professionally
• Work both independently and collaboratively, following company processes, filing guidelines and quality standards
• Communicate clearly with engineers, clients and colleagues; flag potential delays early
• Contribute to day-to-day office operations as required and uphold Health & Safety practices
• Actively take part in training and professional development to keep skills current

About You:

• Minimum 3 years’ relevant structural drafting experience
• Minimum 3 years’ hands-on project delivery in Revit Structures (creating models, not just mark-ups or amendments)
• Strong experience in reinforced concrete detailing
• Solid knowledge of NZ building methods, materials and structural detailing
• Excellent attention to detail, organisation and self-management
• Clear communicator with a practical, problem-solving approach who works well with people at all levels
• Team player who asks questions, challenges assumptions when needed, and is comfortable seeking guidance

Why Join Mitchell Vranjes?

Work in a supportive, personable Grafton office with genuine mentorship from highly experienced seniors, exposure to varied and interesting projects, and the satisfaction of producing documentation that performs well on site. The culture values integrity, collaboration, continuous improvement and work-life balance.
