Key Responsibilities:

• Create Technical Drawings: Produce accurate 2D and 3D drawings, including site plans, topographic maps, and boundary surveys, using CAD software (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, etc.).
• Interpret Survey Data: Analyze and convert raw survey data (such as measurements and elevations) into detailed technical drawings and maps.
• Update and Revise Drawings: Modify and update existing plans and drawings based on new data or feedback from surveyors, engineers, and clients.
• Collaborate with Surveyors and Engineers: Work closely with surveyors and engineers to ensure drawings reflect accurate survey findings and project requirements.
• Quality Control: Review drawings for accuracy, ensuring that all measurements, distances, and coordinates are correct.
• Maintain Documentation: Organize and maintain an updated library of drawings and ensure all project documentation is properly archived.
• Ensure Compliance with Standards: Adhere to local surveying codes, construction standards, and regulations when preparing technical drawings.
• Occasional Field Support (Optional): Assist with field surveys when necessary, particularly in measuring boundaries or confirming survey data.

Skills & Qualifications:

• Technical Skills: Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D). Experience in creating both 2D and 3D survey drawings and models.
• Knowledge of Surveying Principles: Understanding of land measurement techniques, topographic data, and surveying principles.
• Attention to Detail: High accuracy and attention to detail in creating and reviewing drawings to avoid errors.
• Mathematical Skills: Strong understanding of geometry and basic trigonometry for interpreting and calculating land measurements.
• Communication Skills: Ability to effectively communicate with surveyors, engineers, and clients to understand requirements and convey technical information.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to troubleshoot discrepancies in data or designs and find solutions to technical issues.
• Education & Experience: Diploma or degree in drafting, land surveying, geospatial sciences, or a related field. Previous experience with surveying firms or in a CAD drafting role is advantageous.
• Knowledge of Standards & Regulations: Familiarity with local surveying codes, construction standards, and industry regulations.
