Demonstrated knowledge, proficiency, application, and practical experience of:

• Foundational technical drawings, manual (hand) drawings, engineering CAD drawings and modelling, and the application of drawing tools/techniques in urban planning and design at well-defined and broadly-defined levels.
• CAD drawings inclusive of sectional views and structural element sections, elevation drawings, plan layouts, reinforced concrete detailing and structural steelwork, bending schedules, orthographic and isometric projections, framework analyses, architectural drawings, contour plans and mapping, and earthworks and mass-haul diagrams.
• CAD drawings for civil engineering infrastructure, e.g., buildings, roads, and water, stormwater, and sewer reticulation systems.
• General civil design principles and the integration/incorporation thereof in engineering drawings.
• Software applications related to engineering drawings, e.g., AutoDesk (AutoCAD, Civil-3D & Infraworks), ArcGIS, QGIS, and SketchUp.
• A strong working knowledge of AutoDesk (AutoCAD 2D drafting and 3D modelling), e.g., ability to create and edit engineering plans, sections and detail drawings, and setting up layers, blocks, title blocks, and standard templates.
• A strong working knowledge of AutoDesk (Civil-3D), e.g., proficiency in surface modelling and terrain analyses, corridor modelling for roads and highways, intersection design, road alignments, pipe networks for water, stormwater and sewer systems, profiles, and assemblies and quantity take-offs.

Desired Qualification, Knowledge and/or Experience 

• Master’s degree at NQF Level 9 in Civil Engineering plus PrEng/PrTechEng (Civil Eng.) registration with ECSA if in possession of an NQF 8 qualification.
