How do they match: Architectural and Civil Drafters

  • Represent architect or engineer on construction site, ensuring builder compliance with design specifications and advising on design corrections, under supervision.
  • Produce drawings, using computer-assisted drafting systems (CAD) or drafting machines, or by hand, using compasses, dividers, protractors, triangles, and other drafting devices.
  • Coordinate structural, electrical, and mechanical designs and determine a method of presentation to graphically represent building plans.
  • Draw maps, diagrams, and profiles, using cross-sections and surveys, to represent elevations, topographical contours, subsurface formations, and structures.
  • Explain drawings to production or construction teams and provide adjustments as necessary.
  • Plot characteristics of boreholes for oil and gas wells from photographic subsurface survey recordings and other data, representing depth, degree, and direction of inclination.

  • Analyze operational data to evaluate operations, processes or products.
  • Create graphical representations of civil structures.
  • Create graphical representations of energy production systems.
  • Create graphical representations of structures or landscapes.
  • Estimate technical or resource requirements for development or production projects.
