The role

Drawing support that fits your work.

Tell us your discipline, software and workload. We find candidates with relevant project experience for you to assess.

01

Production drawings

Turn your mark-ups, sketches and project information into plans, elevations and details. Look for a portfolio in the discipline and project types your business handles.

02

Revisions and document sets

Update drawings, maintain revision records and prepare registers, transmittals and issue sets using your conventions and review process.

03

BIM and model support

For roles that need it, recruit for model development, schedules, families or coordination experience. Agree the software and level of responsibility before the search.

04

Tender and construction documentation

Prepare and update tender, construction or as-built drawing sets from the information your team supplies. Include take-offs or other supporting tasks only where they fit the role.

Your drafter works as part of your team, using your software, templates and drawing standards. Lynk handles employment and local support.
