JOB OVERVIEW

Draftsman Position Available

Geelong Cable Locations is one of Victoria’s leading suppliers of specialist services to locate and protect underground utilities such as buried cables and pipes. Established more than 18 years ago, the company enjoys an excellent reputation and an impressive list of clients in both the public and private sectors.

Position Available

We are looking for a full-time and skilled Draftsman to provide technical drawings and administrative support. You will be working for 40 hours per week, Mondays to Fridays, during Australian business hours. You will be paid $4.00 (AUD) per hour. You must be proficient with AutoCAD, and have a good understanding of English (preferably Australian or UK English rather than US English).

Duties Required

Your duties will include but are not limited to:

- drawing up plans of underground cables and pipes
- converting hand-drawn plans to CAD plans
- taking offset from older plans that were created in imperial and drawing them up in AutoCAD showing metric measurements
- combining several plans into one CAD plan
- splitting combined plans into separate layered plans
- overlaying photos and aerial images onto plans
- saving plans as PDF files so they can be viewed on iPads
- adding attributes to plans that have already been drawn up

You will also be required to complete some administrative duties that are in line with the plans you create.

You may even be required to help out with other roles from time to time—so you will need to be flexible and easy-going.

Characteristics Prefered

The ideal candidate will preferably have the passion and attitude for drafting services. He/she is always punctual and on time; has a strong work ethic and will go the extra mile when needed. The candidate is also preferably willing to learn and develop his/her skills, coupled with a great sense of initiative. He/she must also possess EXTREME ATTENTION TO DETAIL. We rely greatly on perfection and get very annoyed when little things on the plans have not been drawn up correctly or are untidy. We will not accept “close enough is good enough”.

We are, therefore, looking for someone who takes pride in their work. We also expect that you will make suggestions along the way about how we can improve the plans you create and the systems and procedures we have in place.

Ideally you will have a good internet connection, with good upload and download speeds, as the majority of programs we use are cloud-based and we often send videos explaining what we need drawn up or changes that we need made.

Benefits

Although we have been in business for many years, we are a very progressive company with a young team and others that are not as young, but are still young at heart :)

A lot of the staff do have young families and we do very much value our family time.

Although the company is based in Australia, we still do honour all Philippine public holidays, as well as give generous annual leave allowances. We very rarely require staff to work overtime, and when it is required it is returned to staff as time in lieu.

Aptitude Test

We run all applicants for any position within the company through an aptitude test prior to reading through resumes and cover letters. The aptitude test generally takes around 60 minutes to complete.

Those who have completed the aptitude test and have been shortlisted will then be interviewed over Skype.

Of the interviewees, the top 3 candidates will then be put through a series of tests to determine their skill level in drafting, personality, ability to follow instructions, communication skills and interaction among staff.

Note that you WILL be paid for your time and effort in completing the final testing stage, but you will not be paid to complete the aptitude test or attend the Skype interview.

How to apply

If you would like to apply for this position, then please sit the aptitude test by going to the following link: http://bit.ly/2ed7iMN

While on the aptitude testing site, can you please also upload your resume and cover letter?

Note: if there is no cover letter or resume uploaded to this site, then we will not consider your application.

Are you the one?

This is a long-term position, so we are looking for someone who is looking for a stable job that they can settle into and keep for many years to come.

If you have read up to this point, then hopefully this position is exactly what you are looking for. We wish you all the best in your application—and, hopefully, you are exactly what we are looking for.

Thank you.
