Draftsman (225-1013)

A Draftsman, also known as a Drafter, plays a critical role in translating design concepts into detailed technical drawings and plans. These professionals work in various fields such as architecture, engineering, manufacturing, and construction to create precise and accurate representations of structures, systems, and components. By working closely with architects, engineers, and project managers, draftsmen transform ideas and sketches into comprehensive blueprints that guide the building and manufacturing processes. They employ computer-aided design (CAD) software to enhance accuracy and efficiency, ensuring that the projects meet specific requirements, adhere to codes, and accommodate design complexities. Not only do draftsmen need to possess advanced technical skills, but they must also have a keen eye for detail, enabling them to identify and troubleshoot potential challenges in the design phase.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with architects and engineers to understand project specifications and requirements.
• Create detailed technical drawings and plans using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
• Translate design concepts and sketches into precise blueprints and diagrams.
• Review and update drawings as needed to reflect changes and improvements in designs.
• Ensure all drawings comply with industry standards and building codes.
• Conduct site visits to obtain accurate measurements and insights for projects.
• Communicate effectively with project managers and construction teams to clarify design details.
• Maintain organized records of all drawings and related documents for easy retrieval.
• Work within project deadlines to deliver high-quality technical drawings on schedule.
• Assist in the preparation of project documentation and specifications as required.
• Provide technical support and problem-solving solutions during project execution phases.
• Continuously update knowledge of CAD software and industry technology advancements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in drafting, architecture, engineering, or a related field.
• Proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) software and related technologies.
