Experience creating and maintaining project base files and technical or construction-related drawings.
Understanding of architectural and engineering drawing scales.
Ability to interpret plans, markups, sketches, specifications, and other technical information and translate them into accurate drawings.
Strong attention to detail and ability to identify drafting errors or inconsistencies.
Ability to manage multiple assignments and deadlines while working independently and collaboratively; strong communication and organizational skills.
