About The Civil Draughtsman Position

Responsibilities:

• Drafting and Design Development:
  • Prepare detailed 2D and 3D drawings for civil and structural components related to tunnel construction and MEP fit-out, including layout plans, elevations, sections, and detailed views.
    
  • Produce high-quality, accurate drawings and plans for civil and MEP elements, including drainage systems, ventilation, lighting, HVAC, fire protection, and utility systems.
  • Convert design concepts from engineers and architects into precise technical drawings, ensuring adherence to project specifications and standards.
  • Update and modify existing drawings as per project revisions or client feedback, ensuring version control.
• Coordination with Engineering Teams:
  • Work closely with engineers, MEP designers, architects, and project managers to integrate civil and MEP elements within the tunnel environment.
    
  • Coordinate with the site team to ensure that drawings are feasible, constructible, and compliant with safety regulations.
  • Participate in project meetings to discuss design changes, address technical challenges, and collaborate on solutions.
• Quality Assurance and Documentation:
  • Ensure all drawings comply with relevant local, national, and international standards, including building codes and safety regulations.
    
  • Adhere to the specific requirements of tunnel construction, including load-bearing structures, waterproofing, fireproofing, and other critical aspects of tunnel safety.
  • Ensure that MEP system layouts in tunnels meet all relevant technical standards and project specifications.
• Field Coordination and Support:
  • Visit the tunnel construction site as required to gather precise measurements, verify installation progress, and update drawings based on real-time feedback from the site team.
  • Provide support to site engineers and supervisors by explaining complex drawings and clarifying technical details as required.
  • Assist in resolving on-site design or drawing issues that may arise during construction or MEP installation.
• BIM Integration:
  • Assisting BIM modeling and coordination for mechanical services, ensuring 3D models are compatible with overall project BIM requirements.
  • Participate in clash detection and resolution meetings to ensure seamless MEP system integration.

Requirements:

• Education:

  • Certification in Auto CAD, Revit MEP, or equivalent drafting software is highly preferred.
• Experience:
  • Minimum 5 years of experience as a Civil Draughtsman, with at least 2 years working on tunnel construction or MEP fit-out projects.
  • Hands-on experience with MEP fit-out works, particularly civil and artchitectural systems within tunnels or underground structures.
• Technical Skills:
  • Proficient in Auto CAD, Revit, and other industry-standard drafting tools.
    
  • Experience with Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and methodologies.
  • Knowledge of civil engineering principles, MEP systems, and tunnel construction techniques.
  • Ability to create detailed 2D and 3D drawings with high accuracy and precision.
• Additional Requirements:
  • Willingness to work on-site during key project phases to coordinate drawings and provide support to site teams.
    
  • Understanding of BIM (Building Information Modeling) processes is a plus.
  • Ability to adapt to changes in design or project requirements during construction phases.
