Support Designers and Art Directors by producing high accuracy AutoCAD construction drawings for events, exhibition, and theatre scenic fabrication.
Strengthen design accuracy and attention to detail, ensuring drawings reflect the original design intent, approved 3D renderings, and accurate site measurements.
Prepare comprehensive drawing sets, including overall plans (layouts), elevations, sections, detailed scenic item drawings, key aesthetic details (e.g., moldings, lighting integration), equipment concealment, and all line drawings required for fabrication and contractor PE submissions.
Incorporate site information so scenic elements are correctly scaled and venue appropriate.
Support designers when coordinating with technical teams (rigging, equipment, safety distances, etc.).
Clarify discrepancies or unclear information with assigned designers to deliver precise, buildable construction drawings.
Conduct site measurements with designers when required to support accuracy.
When assigned by the Team Lead, prepare layout proposals (e.g., initial business study layouts such as seating capacity studies).
Assist with design tasks when assigned by the Team Lead, depending on workload and priorities.
Coordinate with multiple designers based on project timelines, and proactively discuss capacity with the Team Lead for prioritization and task delegation.
On-site installation and factory inspections are generally not required, unless specifically assigned by the Team Lead.
Support designers/art directors when they review and confirm changes, and implement updates after clarification and approval.
Requirements:
Diploma or higher in a related field.
Minimum 3 years of relevant drafting experience in events, exhibitions, theatre, or related industries.
Proficient in AutoCAD (mandatory) and basic Microsoft Office tools.
Basic knowledge of SketchUp or other 3D software to read/study 3D files and convert them into accurate AutoCAD drawings (additional skills in 3ds Max, Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator are a plus).
Strong understanding of scenic fabrication methods, materials, and construction logic relevant to events, exhibition, and theatre environments.
Able to produce clear, accurate, and efficient construction drawings.
High attention to detail, good communication with designers/art directors, and a proactive approach to clarifying design intent.
Able to work in a fast-paced environment supporting multiple designers with varying timelines.
