Your work will directly support efficient fabrication, compliance with building codes, and successful on-site installation.Key Responsibilities:
- Develop detailed 2D and 3D AutoCAD models for architectural panels, cladding systems, and related metal components.
- Create shop drawings, fabrication details, and installation layouts based on architectural and structural plans.
- Interpret and incorporate information from technical blueprints, specifications, and construction documents into working drawings.
- Coordinate drawing content with project managers, engineers, and fabrication staff to resolve design and constructability issues.
- Revise and update drawings in response to design changes, RFIs, and field conditions while maintaining version control.
- Apply relevant building codes, industry standards, and company design guidelines to all drawings.
- Prepare clear, accurate dimensioning, labeling, and annotation to support fabrication and on-site installation.
