Purpose:
Responsible for independently preparing and reviewing high-quality engineering drawings and construction design packages for OSP telecommunications projects, including execution of complex drafting assignments and support for quality control activities. This role serves as a senior technical contributor for the CAD team, providing drafting expertise, mentoring junior drafters, and driving continuous improvement across design and drafting processes.
Key Responsibilities:
Create and update a full range of 2D engineering drawings independently — including site plans, floor plans, tower elevations, and grounding plans — using AutoCAD and AutoCAD Civil 3D, to a professional standard with minimal supervision.
Train and mentor CAD Drafter I and II colleagues, sharing knowledge and best practices to build team capability.
Review completed construction drawings for accuracy and conformance with applicable standards and regulations, providing QC feedback to junior drafters.
Confer with design engineers and team members to resolve complex drawing problems and produce construction documents that meet all project requirements.
Prepare quantity take-offs independently in a professional and organized manner, contributing to project cost tracking and bid support activities.
Complete as-built drawings fully and independently, accurately reflecting final constructed conditions in all project documentation.
Fulfill assignments that require independent judgment and evaluation, applying design experience to make sound decisions without escalation.
Manage and maintain design records and files to a high standard, ensuring completeness and accuracy for project reference and audit purposes.
Participate in technical and professional development activities, contributing knowledge to team learning and continuous improvement.
Conduct minimal travel to client sites as needed, typically no more than 10% of time.
Key Measures / Key Performance Indicators:
Drawing accuracy, consistently high QC pass rate with minimal revision cycles required
As-built drawing completeness and accuracy
Mentoring impact, improvement in junior drafter output quality over time
Timeliness and reliability of deliverables on assigned project tasks
Adherence and contribution to CAD drafting standards and process improvement
