* Organize and manage CAD files with correct version control, naming rules, file storage, and traceability within document management systems.
* Prepare drawing lists, indexes, registers, transmittal inputs, and submission package records.
* Produce and package drawing sets for design submissions, permit applications, construction issue packages, review cycles, and as-built documentation.
* Assist in preparing as-built drawings using field redlines, contractor updates, survey information, inspection records, and approved revisions.
* Coordinate with engineers, designers, project managers, and field staff to collect information and resolve drafting-related issues.
* Attend design coordination meetings when required and provide input on drawing requirements, drafting constraints, and document readiness.
* Work with civil, structural, electrical, and utility teams to support integrated, coordinated, and clash-aware drawing outputs.
* Support external coordination with clients, utility owners, contractors, and stakeholders regarding drawing formats, drafting standards, and submission requirements when directed.
* Maintain organized CAD records, drawing histories, revision logs, and project drafting files.
* Follow project quality expectations and help ensure drawing deliverables support safe, efficient, and compliant utility construction.
