Additional Technical Information
Ensure that all relevant information for draughting is at hand before commencing drawing.
Review and analyse specifications, rough sketches, drawings, ideas, and related engineering / architectural data to assess factors affecting plant / structure / component designs and the procedures and instructions to be followed.
Utilize the relevant Project Directory to perform draughting work.
Draft plans and detailed engineering drawings and designs for structures, installations, and construction projects as required by the project.
Utilise approved software and other analysis tools in drafting / drawing designs for customer projects, develop detailed design drawings and specifications for specified plant / components / structures, using approved computer-assisted draughting (CAD) equipment.
Effect Design Engineer instructions and comments onto drawings.
