Autocad Draftsman

Responsibilities:

• Develop detailed drawings and plans for infrastructure projects using AutoCAD, adhering to project requirements and specifications.
• Work closely with engineers and project managers to translate conceptual designs into accurate technical drawings.
• Create and modify drawings for infrastructure components such as roadways, drainage systems, pipelines, bridges, and other utilities.
• Ensure compliance with local regulations, industry standards, and project requirements in all drafting activities.
• Collaborate on multiple projects within a PMC environment, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams to align project goals and timelines.
• Review and revise drawings based on feedback from engineers, architects, and clients to ensure final deliverables meet all specifications.
• Maintain organized records of drawings and revisions, following proper documentation procedures.
• Perform quality checks on drawings and identify any errors or inconsistencies to ensure accuracy.
• Site Coordination and Field Verification: Conduct occasional site visits to verify drawing accuracy, collect on-site data, and understand real-world constraints that affect design.
• Ensure that all drawings conform to PMC and client standards, including layer management, dimensioning, and line weights, to maintain a consistent and professional standard across all projects.
• Develop 3D models for infrastructure components, such as roadways, utility corridors, and structures, using Civil 3D or other compatible software to assist in project visualization and coordination.
• Conduct detailed checks to ensure all drawings meet quality standards and are free of errors, using quality control processes to minimize revisions and improve accuracy.
• Communicate with subcontractors and suppliers to ensure that the drawings reflect all necessary details for procurement, fabrication, and installation.
• Assist engineers in calculating material quantities and other key measurements based on drawings to support cost estimation and project planning.
• Organize and maintain a well-structured digital library of drawings and project documents to ensure easy retrieval and reference throughout the project lifecycle.
• Maintain a systematic approach to tracking and documenting all drawing revisions, ensuring project stakeholders are aware of any updates or changes.
• Review and incorporate “redline” comments from engineers and supervisors, making updates to drawings quickly to reflect any design changes or field modifications.
• Collaborate with other disciplines (e.g., structural, electrical, and mechanical) to ensure accurate integration of all infrastructure elements within the drawing set.
• Prepare utility mapping and relocation plans to prevent clashes and conflicts in coordination with other infrastructure projects.
• Prepare and finalize as-built drawings based on final construction details and specifications for project handover and future reference.
• Assist in the development of drafting and design standards for the PMC, ensuring a streamlined and standardized approach to all drafting practices.
• Use project management software (like Primavera, MS Project, or other PMC tools) to update drawing schedules, submission timelines, and any dependencies in the project.
• Ensure that all designs consider safety and environmental impact as per PMC policies and local regulations, incorporating sustainable design practices when possible. 

Essential Requirements:

• Minimum of 10 years of experience in AutoCAD drafting for infrastructure projects.
• Experience working on PMC (Project Management Consultancy) projects is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and other relevant drafting software, with strong knowledge of infrastructure components.
• Excellent attention to detail to ensure the accuracy and quality of drawings.
• Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders.
• Familiarity with industry standards and regulations related to infrastructure and civil engineering projects.
• Diploma or associate degree in Civil Engineering, Drafting, or a related field (preferred).
