Role Context
This assignment combines architectural drafting with detailed engineering documentation. The specialist will convert project requirements into clear drawing sets while coordinating information across building
Accuracy across multiple sheets and disciplines is essential because the completed documentation will support technical review, coordination, construction, manufacturing, and project delivery.
Key Responsibilities
* Prepare detailed architectural floor plans based on approved project information.
* Develop internal and external elevation drawings with accurate dimensions and annotations.
* Produce coordinated CAD drawings for architectural and engineering applications.
* Organize views, layers, references, symbols, line weights, and drawing standards consistently.
* Translate technical requirements into clear two-dimensional and three-dimensional CAD outputs.
* Create geometric dimensioning and tolerancing callouts for relevant manufacturing documents.
* Verify dimensions, tolerances, notes, and references before issuing drawings for review.
* Develop multi-sheet electrical schematics using recognized symbols and drafting conventions.
* Maintain continuity of circuits, equipment references, and connection information across sheets.
* Prepare or review PCB layouts for manufacturability, functionality, and component organization.
* Coordinate PCB-related information with electrical and broader project documentation.
* Identify clashes, omissions, inconsistent dimensions, and unclear technical instructions.
* Raise focused clarification requests when requirements or source information are incomplete.
* Incorporate reviewer comments and maintain control of drawing revisions.
* Compile complete documentation packages aligned with project milestones.
* Check title blocks, sheet numbering, drawing registers, issue status, and revision histories.
* Conduct final quality reviews before submitting deliverables.
* Collaborate remotely with architects, engineers, designers, and technical reviewers.
* Maintain orderly project files and follow agreed naming and document-control practices.
* Deliver assigned drawing sets within established quality and schedule expectations.
Ideal Profile
Candidates should have at least three years of recent experience in architectural CAD and construction documentation. Strong capability with professional two-dimensional and three-dimensional CAD tools is required.
