Drafting, Interior Design, and Architecture
Permanent Hires for Designers and Drafters Who Understand the Build
A strong designer or drafter does more than make something look good on screen.
They understand how the work gets built.
They think about materials, measurements, production, site conditions, installation, client expectations and the details that can make or break a job before it reaches the workshop or site.
That is where Trial By Fire Recruitment helps.
We specialise in permanent recruitment for design and drafting roles across joinery, interiors, furniture, fitout and production-led businesses.

Design That Works Beyond the Brief
You are not hiring for a creative agency.
You are hiring for someone who can help turn ideas into real work.
That might mean a joinery drafter who understands workshop flow, a designer who can speak with clients and production teams, or a technical specialist who knows how to create drawings that actually make sense on the floor.
We understand the difference between a strong portfolio and a person who can design, detail and communicate in a real working environment.

We Understand the Skills Behind the Software
Software matters, but it is not the whole story.
A strong drafter or designer needs to understand how a drawing becomes a real product, fitout, kitchen, workspace, showroom or piece of furniture.

From the Workshop to the Workspace
Some of the best design and drafting people come from hands-on backgrounds.
They may have worked on the tools, operated machinery, installed joinery, worked in production or learned through years of being close to the work.
Others come from interior design, architecture or technical drafting backgrounds, with the ability to connect creative thinking with practical delivery.
We help you find the person who fits your business, not just the person with the right software listed on their CV.

Real Matches, Not Just Good Portfolios
A portfolio can show what someone has worked on.
It does not always show how they communicate, handle pressure, solve problems or work with a production team.
That is why we screen for the real job.
We want to understand what someone has actually delivered, the environments they have worked in and whether they can fit your team long term.
