Structural Draftsman (2-4 yrs)
1. Creating Technical Drawings: Prepare detailed drawings, plans, and blueprints using computer-aided design (CAD) software. These drawings serve as the basis for the construction of buildings and structures.
2. Collaborating with Engineers and Architects: Work closely with structural engineers and architects to understand design specifications and requirements. Incorporate their input and make necessary adjustments to the drawings.
3. Detailing Structural Components: Provide detailed drawings of structural components such as beams, columns, foundations, and other elements. Ensure that the drawings adhere to building codes and regulations.
4. Material and Quantity Takeoffs: Estimate and calculate the quantities of materials required for construction. This may involve creating material takeoff lists and collaborating with the procurement team.
5. Reviewing and Revising Drawings: Review drawings for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with design standards. Make revisions as necessary based on feedback from engineers, architects, or other stakeholders.
6. Ensuring Compliance with Codes and Standards: Stay updated on building codes, regulations, and industry standards. Ensure that all drawings and plans adhere to these standards to guarantee the safety and stability of the structure.
7. Coordination with Other Disciplines: Coordinate with other drafting disciplines, such as architectural and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) draftsmen, to integrate various aspects of the design into a cohesive set of construction documents.
