Civil Draftsman 18N25

A Civil Draftsman, also known as a CAD Drafter, is a vital part of the engineering and construction team, responsible for creating precise and detailed technical drawings that are used in the design and construction of various civil projects. The position of a Civil Draftsman requires a keen eye for detail, proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) software, and a strong understanding of engineering principles. Primarily working under the supervision of civil engineers, the draftsman plays a key role in transforming design concepts into workable drawing plans that can be interpreted by construction teams and other stakeholders involved in the project. The work not only involves drafting and design but also requires effective communication to ensure that plans are accurately executed according to specifications. This role is crucial in ensuring projects comply with local building codes and regulations.

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed and precise technical drawings for civil engineering projects.
• Collaborate with civil engineers and architects to annotate drawing plans.
• Utilize CAD software to create accurate digital blueprints and layouts.
• Ensure that all plans conform to the latest industry standards and regulations.
• Review and modify designs based on feedback from engineering teams.
• Maintain a detailed record of all drafted plans and project documentation.
• Coordinate with project managers to understand project specifications clearly.
• Support the preparation of civil engineering reports and documentation.
• Convert sketches and ideas into technical drawings to guide construction teams.
• Analyze technical challenges and propose solutions to engineering staff.
• Update and revise drawings as per new data and project developments.
• Collaborate with construction teams to address on-site drafting adjustments.

Requirements
