Office Position - 'Floorplan Department Manager'

What do we do?

• We have professional photographers all over the country who visit properties to take photographs. The photographers often do other things during the same visit such as draw detailed floor plans. Here at the office we pull these all together, process them as necessary, and send them out to customers. We upload things directly to customers' websites, we use some of the info to print digital brochures for them, and we even make mini websites for some customers. It all has to be done the next day.
• Despite the time pressure, quality and accuracy are essential. All pictures must leave here looking great, floorplans must be 100% accurate. All clients have different requirements - we have lots of established relationships, but are adding new clients all the time too.

What will you do?

• In this role you will Manage the Floorplans department, spending all of the time dealing with the digital floorplans produced by our team of draftsmen. You will analyse them for accuracy, compare them to the initial sketch to ensure they are consistent, and investigate any anomalies.
• In addition you will:
• Review the quality of the sketches coming from our team of photographers, and suggest and monitor improvements where necessary.
• Amend and evaluate and sometimes draw from scratch more complex digital floorplans yourself using AutoCAD.
• Use your initiative to suggest improvements and modifications to the way we operate.
• Interact a great deal with our custom developed in-house database.

What education and experience should you have?

• You must have a degree in Engineering or Engineering Drawing
• You must have completed a professional training course in Autocad and be very proficient using AutoCAD LT in 2D
• You must have at least a year of practical experience drawing floorplans using Autocad
• You should ideally have some knowledge of other graphical software, although this is not essential.
• You must show considerable attention to detail.
• You should be the sort of person who takes fulfillment out of solving puzzles and identifying small errors.
• You must be flexible and willing/able to try new things when required. You must never say "that's not my job".
• You must be personable, enthusiastic, and good at managing other people.
• You must not be a clock watcher. We don't work late hours all the time, but similarly we don't leave until the work is done.
• And most importantly, you must demonstrate a passion for excellent customer service.

What do we pay?

We offer a very competitive salary + company performance bonus + share option scheme to the right candidate (a qualifying period of 6 months applies to the bonus and share scheme).
