Draughtsman (Drainage) (225-822)

A Draughtsman specializing in drainage is a technical professional responsible for creating detailed plans and drawings for drainage systems, such as stormwater infrastructure or waste management systems. These professionals are adept at converting engineering designs into precise, detailed and accurate technical diagrams or blueprints, which are pivotal for construction projects. Their work involves collaborating with engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to ensure plans meet industry standards and client specifications. They must utilize specialized software to produce layouts that are both efficient and environmentally compliant, ensuring that water run-off is effectively managed to prevent flooding and environmental issues. Their role is crucial in planning sustainable urban and rural areas, working towards minimizing the impact on the natural ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Draft detailed drainage system designs using specialized CAD software tools efficiently.
• Collaborate with civil engineers to translate specifications into technical drawings accurately.
• Review and revise drainage designs based on feedback or changes to project scope.
• Ensure compliance with local building codes and drainage regulations in designs.
• Conduct site visits to gather data, analyze conditions, and incorporate findings in designs.
• Coordinate with project managers to align drawings with project timelines and budgets.
• Maintain updated documentation of all technical drawings and revisions securely.
• Liaise with municipal authorities for necessary permits and compliance submissions.
• Assist in estimating materials and resources required based on drainage plans.
• Attend project meetings to provide technical insights related to drainage systems.
• Train junior draughtsmen on best practices in drainage system drafting techniques.
• Ensure designs integrate sustainable practices and minimize environmental impact effectively.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Draughtsman with a focus on drainage systems is essential.
• Proficiency in CAD software programs, such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks, is required.
• Strong understanding of civil engineering and construction principles is necessary.
• Familiarity with local drainage regulations, codes, and environmental standards is crucial.
• Excellent communication skills to work collaboratively with engineers and project teams.
• Ability to create high-quality technical drawings with attention to detail and precision.
• An educational background in civil engineering or a related field is highly preferred.
