  • 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.

  • 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.
  • Produce drawings, using computer-assisted drafting systems (CAD) or drafting machines, or by hand, using compasses, dividers, protractors, triangles, and other drafting devices.
  • Calculate excavation tonnage and prepare graphs and fill-hauling diagrams for use in earth-moving operations.
  • 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.

  • Supervise engineering or other technical personnel.
  • Analyze operational data to evaluate operations, processes or products.
  • Create graphical representations of energy production systems.
  • Determine operational methods.
  • Estimate operational costs.
  • Estimate technical or resource requirements for development or production projects.
