Civil Draftsman (225-702)

A Civil Draftsman plays a critical role within the construction and infrastructure development sectors. They are responsible for creating detailed technical drawings and plans used in the development of civil projects such as highways, bridges, pipelines, and water systems. With a keen eye for precision and attention to detail, Civil Draftsmen transform engineers' and architects' designs into schematic representations that guide the implementation phase of construction projects. They work closely with civil engineers and project managers to ensure that designs comply with industry standards and specifications. Proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) software is essential for this role, along with a foundational understanding of engineering principles, construction methods, and building materials. A successful Civil Draftsman combines technical skills with creativity to contribute effectively to a project's success from conception to completion.
