About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever found yourself sketching the perfect space layout in your head, wishing you could bring it to life in stunning 3D? If you have a sharp eye for detail and a knack for turning concepts into beautifully rendered interiors, this could be your next move. We’re looking for a skilled Draftsman to join our team on Al Murror Street, Abu Dhabi, specializing in fit-out shop drawings and high-quality 3D visualizations. Whether you’re aiming to grow your creative portfolio or simply want to see your designs become real, this is a solid opportunity in the heart of the city.
About the Company
We’re a close-knit interior design company that thrives on collaboration, creativity, and a touch of daily humor (our WhatsApp group is legendary for its memes). Our projects range from sleek modern offices to cozy boutique spaces, and we take pride in seeing our ideas come to life right here in Abu Dhabi. You’ll be joining a team that values open feedback, celebrates project wins with spontaneous team lunches, and believes that great design is all about the details.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Transforming design concepts into precise fit-out shop drawings for a variety of interior projects.
- Creating detailed 3D models and photorealistic renderings using 3ds Max and V-Ray—your flair for lighting, texture, and realism will really shine here.
- Collaborating with designers and project managers to ensure drawings match client visions and site requirements.
- Making revisions based on feedback from the team and clients—sometimes it’s three tweaks, sometimes it’s thirty.
- Managing your own workflow to meet project deadlines (we respect your process, but we do love a well-organized file system).
- Occasionally helping with site measurements or coordination if a project calls for it.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Proven experience working on fit-out shop drawings for interior projects.
- Mastery of 3ds Max and V-Ray, with a strong portfolio of 3D renders—show us your best!
- Solid understanding of interior detailing and space planning.
- Indian nationality preferred, as per our current team requirements.
- Must possess own valid visa for UAE.
- Comfort communicating and collaborating in a multicultural work environment.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Hands-on experience with other visualization or drafting tools (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop).
- Prior exposure to Abu Dhabi or UAE-based projects.
- A great sense of humor and a willingness to share the occasional chai with the team.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary between AED 2,000–2,500, based on your experience and skills.
- Centrally located office on Al Murror Street—easy access, vibrant neighborhood.
- Supportive, friendly team that values your input (and your design inspiration boards).
- Opportunities to build a rich portfolio with diverse interior projects.
- Regular team catch-ups, lunches, and a relaxed, collaborative culture (we’re serious about good coffee).
- Flexibility to manage your workflow—what matters is the quality you deliver, not how many hours you clock.
Here, your technical skills and creative eye will help shape some of Abu Dhabi’s most inviting spaces. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and see your designs take shape, we’d love to see what you can do.
