Drafter - L2

Description

• Develop and maintain detailed 2D and 3D CAD models specifically for Transmission Station disciplines, including Civil/Structural, Electrical, Mechanical, Protection & Control (P&C), and Telecom.
• Identify non-standard situations where existing CADD standards may need adjustment and collaborate with senior team members to find solutions.
• Maintain and organize project files within a formal Drawing Management System to ensure data security and version control.
• Calculate precise dimensions, elevations, slopes, base loads, and material quantities to ensure design accuracy and safety.
• May involve occasional site visits to transmission stations to verify field conditions or perform basic survey tasks.
• Produce specialized technical documentation such as isolation/operate drawings, crossing permits, right-of-way permits, and elevation profiles.
• Analyze minimal engineering instructions to determine project-specific requirements for drawing layouts.
• Apply tools, guides, and standards to all drafting tasks.
• Participate in technical committees or working groups to develop new CADD standards, manuals, or block libraries.
• Perform rigorous quality checks on drawings to flag conflicting data or non-standard designs for the Engineer or Designer of record.
• Provide on-the-job orientation and technical guidance to CAD 1 team members.
• Support the procurement process by creating detailed drawings for vendor tendering to illustrate required materials and equipment specifications.
