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).
