We are looking for a detail-oriented and skilled Construction Draftsman to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for creating accurate and detailed technical drawings and plans used in the construction of buildings, infrastructure, and other structures. Working closely with architects, engineers, and construction managers, the Construction Draftsman will translate conceptual designs into precise blueprints and schematics that guide the construction process.
The Construction Draftsman must have a strong understanding of construction methods, materials, and regulations. Proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) software is essential, as is the ability to interpret architectural and engineering drawings. The role requires excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work under tight deadlines.
Key responsibilities include preparing detailed drawings and layouts, revising designs based on feedback, ensuring compliance with building codes and standards, and maintaining documentation for all drafting work. The Construction Draftsman will also collaborate with project teams to resolve design and technical issues and may be involved in site visits to gather data or verify dimensions.
This position is ideal for someone with a background in drafting, architecture, or engineering who enjoys working in a collaborative environment and contributing to the successful completion of construction projects. A strong portfolio of previous drafting work and familiarity with industry standards will be advantageous.
If you are passionate about design, precision, and construction, and you thrive in a fast-paced, project-driven environment, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
