  • Prepare detailed drawings of architectural and structural features of buildings or drawings and topographical relief maps used in civil engineering projects, such as highways, bridges, and public works. Use knowledge of building materials, engineering practices, and mathematics to complete drawings.

  • Analyze building codes, by-laws, space and site requirements, and other technical documents and reports to determine their effect on architectural designs.
  • Calculate weights, volumes, and stress factors and their implications for technical aspects of designs.
  • Correlate, interpret, and modify data obtained from topographical surveys, well logs, and geophysical prospecting reports.
  • Draw maps, diagrams, and profiles, using cross-sections and surveys, to represent elevations, topographical contours, subsurface formations, and structures.
  • Locate and identify symbols on topographical surveys to denote geological and geophysical formations or oil field installations.
  • Plot characteristics of boreholes for oil and gas wells from photographic subsurface survey recordings and other data, representing depth, degree, and direction of inclination.
  • Prepare cost estimates, contracts, bidding documents, and technical reports for specific projects under an architect's or engineer's supervision.
  • Supervise and train other technologists, technicians, and drafters.
  • Supervise or conduct field surveys, inspections, or technical investigations to obtain data required to revise construction drawings.

  • Survey land or bodies of water to measure or determine features.
  • Create maps.
  • Estimate technical or resource requirements for development or production projects.
  • Evaluate technical data to determine effect on designs or plans.
  • Explain engineering drawings, specifications, or other technical information.
  • Prepare technical reports for internal use.
  • Provide technical guidance to other personnel.
  • Recommend technical design or process changes to improve efficiency, quality, or performance.
  • Review technical documents to plan work.
  • Review details of technical drawings or specifications.
  • Supervise engineering or other technical personnel.
