  • Determine the order of work and method of presentation, such as orthographic or isometric drawing.
  • Draft plans and detailed drawings for structures, installations, and construction projects, such as highways, sewage disposal systems, and dikes, working from sketches or notes.
  • Explain drawings to production or construction teams and provide adjustments as necessary.
  • Represent architect or engineer on construction site, ensuring builder compliance with design specifications and advising on design corrections, under supervision.
  • Supervise or conduct field surveys, inspections, or technical investigations to obtain data required to revise construction drawings.

  • Prepare detailed work plans.
  • Review technical documents to plan work.
