Drafting A Plan

D & E Air Conditioning is a leading provider of air conditioning and mechanical services in Australia, whose skilled engineers use their experience to create and construct small and large scale air conditioning solutions to clients.

Here we talk to Michael Wapsas, a draftsman for D&E Air Conditioning. Years ago he had been studying graphic design, whilst also working for a company that manufactured parts for air conditioners. His boss at the time noticed his interest in both drawing and manufacturing and suggested that Michael look into becoming a draftsperson, and so he took up this suggestion and has not looked back.

Michael enjoys being a draftsperson and particularly likes the problem solving aspect of his job, likening it to working on a giant 3D puzzle every day. Watch the video for an insight into his job!
