Your Purpose - Responsibilities and Other Requirements

• Produce accurate and reliable 2D structural drawings and 3D models from engineering sketches.
• Deliver structural steelwork drawings, reinforced concrete drawings, RC detailing, and schedules. Experience with packages such as CADS RC would be beneficial but not essential.
• Mentor apprentice technicians.
• Work closely with engineers to understand and anticipate practical challenges within a design and collaborate to resolve them.
