Mechanical Draftsman
Summary
Creates detailed mechanical drawings for construction projects (HVAC, plumbing, fire protection) using CAD/BIM tools, ensures code compliance, and collaborates with engineers and construction teams.
Key Responsibilities:
● Drafting and Design:
- Prepare detailed mechanical drawings for construction projects, including layouts for HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and other mechanical systems.
- Ensure that designs are in compliance with building codes, regulations, and industry best practices.
- Revise and update drawings based on project changes and client feedback.
● Collaboration:
- Coordinate with engineers and project managers to understand project requirements and translate them into precise drawings.
- Communicate with construction teams to ensure that mechanical systems are correctly
- installed according to the specifications.
● 3D Modeling and BIM:
- Utilize CAD and BIM software (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.) to create 3D models and coordinate mechanical systems within the overall building design.
- Assist in clash detection and resolving design conflicts in coordination with other disciplines (architectural, structural, electrical).
● Documentation and Reporting:
- Maintain accurate records of design revisions, project drawings, and technical documentation.
- Generate reports and deliverables as required by the project team or client.
● Site Visits:
- Occasionally visit construction sites to verify mechanical installations, ensure compliance with drawings, and address on-site challenges.
● Quality Assurance:
- Review mechanical systems and drawings for accuracy, ensuring compliance with project specifications, safety standards, and regulatory requirements.
Requirements
● Education:
- Diploma or Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Drafting Technology, or a related field.
