Mark Berryman Design is looking for an experienced and highly detail-oriented CAD Draughtsman to join our yacht interior design studio.

Working closely with our interior design team, the role will focus on translating design concepts, layouts and technical information into accurate, well-considered 2D CAD design intent drawings.

You will play an important role in developing our designs from concept through to detailed design, ensuring the creative intent is clearly communicated to shipyards, contractors, manufacturers and other project stakeholders.

This role would suit someone with excellent technical drawing skills who also has a strong appreciation of interior design, proportion, detailing and materials.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce high-quality 2D AutoCAD design intent drawings for luxury yacht interiors.
• Develop drawings from initial concepts, sketches, General Arrangements (GAs), reference imagery and information provided by the design team.
• Prepare detailed plans, elevations, sections and interior details that clearly communicate the intended design.
• Develop bespoke joinery, cabinetry, furniture, ceiling, flooring and architectural details.
• Work closely with the interior designers to translate creative concepts into technically coherent drawing packages.
• Review shipyard, contractor and manufacturer drawings against MBD’s design intent and identify discrepancies where appropriate.
• Incorporate comments and revisions accurately while maintaining drawing consistency across the project.
• Coordinate drawings with relevant technical information supplied by shipyards, naval architects, suppliers and other consultants.
• Maintain clear drawing standards, naming conventions, revision control and organised project files.
• Help ensure that the original design vision is maintained as projects progress through the detailed design stages.

About You

We are looking for someone who combines strong CAD capability with a good design eye.

You will ideally have:

• Proven professional experience as a CAD Draughtsman, CAD Technician, Interior Architectural Technician or similar.
• Excellent proficiency in AutoCAD, particularly 2D drafting and detailing.
• Experience producing detailed interior design or architectural drawing packages.
• A strong understanding of interior construction, joinery, materials and detailing.
• The ability to interpret sketches, concepts and technical information and turn them into clear, accurate drawings.
• Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to drawing production.
• An understanding of the distinction between design intent drawings and fabrication/construction drawings.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with designers.
• The ability to manage multiple drawing packages and priorities within a busy studio environment.

Experience within superyacht design, luxury residential, hospitality or another high-end interior design environment would be particularly beneficial.
