• Prepare engineering drawings and plan sets for all project phases.
• Conform design drawings to both internal and client design requirements.
• Apply standard drafting/design principles and theories to complete assignments.
• Read and understand orthographic (2D) and/or isometric (3D) designs.
• Prepare 3D renderings of facilities.
• Work with equipment manufacturers and suppliers to integrate manufacturer’s details into designs.
• Prepare quantity take-offs for use by others in construction cost opinions.
• Provide junior design/drafting personnel with design sketches and guidance for preparation of finished design drawings and general layouts.
• Assist engineering staff with the review of construction submittals for conformance with design plans and specifications.
• Mentor others in their development and training in CAD and BIM.
• Review the quality of final design products before release to the client.
