About the role

This is not a back-office drafting job. You will work as a shadow to the Principal Designer — in the room for client meetings, on site during walkthroughs, and at the desk when drawings and presentations are being built.

The purpose of the role is simple: the Principal should never lose time to coordination, file-hunting, follow-ups, or first drafts. You absorb that layer. In return you get an unusually close view of how design decisions actually get made, from first client brief to final installation.

The right person is organised by instinct, fast on software, and comfortable being the one who remembers what everyone else forgot.

What you'll do

Shadow support
- Accompany the Principal to client meetings, site visits,



vendor discussions and coordination calls with architects and contractors.
- Take structured meeting notes and circulate minutes with clear action points, owners and deadlines — same day.
- Track every open point to closure and flag anything slipping before it becomes a problem.
- Prepare the Principal before each meeting: agenda, relevant drawings, previous minutes, pending items, client history.

Scheduling & coordination
- Own the Principal's calendar — schedule, reschedule, protect focus time, and avoid clashes.
- Send timely reminders for meetings, site visits, submission deadlines and follow-ups.
- Coordinate with clients, architects, contractors and vendors to lock timings and confirm attendance.
- Maintain a live project tracker: what's due, what's pending, what's waiting on whom.

Drawing & documentation (AutoCAD)
- Prepare and update layouts, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections and detail drawings.
- Mark up drawings duri
