Cad Operator

Role & responsibilities

• Drafting & Design: Generate precise civil engineering drawings, including site plans, structural layouts, foundations, road networks, cross-sections, and drainage systems.
• Revision & Optimization: Update and modify existing technical drawings based on feedback from site engineers, architects, or client requests.
• Technical Compliance: Ensure all drafts and architectural schematics align with local building codes, safety guidelines, and standard engineering practices.
• Data Validation: Interpret engineering notes, calculations, and survey data to convert raw measurements into accurate technical blueprints.
• Documentation Management: Organise, catalogue, and maintain a digital database of drawing revisions and project files to ensure seamless data accessibility for team members.
• Site Support: Occasionally conduct site visits to verify measurements, gather field data, and assess layout limitations against digital plans.

Requirements & Technical Skills

• Education: Diploma in Civil Engineering from an accredited technical institution. A professional certification in computer-aided software (AutoCAD) is highly preferred.
• Software Mastery: Strong proficiency in industry-standard software, primarily AutoCAD (2D). Familiarity with software like AutoCAD, Revit, or BIM tools is a distinct advantage.
• Blueprint Literacy: Exceptional ability to read, interpret, and process complex architectural and civil structural layouts.
• Core Concepts: Solid foundation in basic mathematical calculations, arithmetic layouts, and structural engineering principles.
