• Assist other CAD Technicians to ensure all drawings are complete and meet tight deadlines.
• Experience with QGIS is desirable but not essential.
• Collaborate with the Project Manager to ensure timely completion of jobs.
• Manage your workload effectively, ensuring all relevant information from briefs is incorporated.
