Job Description

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and meticulous Architectural Drafting Specialist to join our office-based team. This entry-level role is ideal for a recent graduate or a professional with up to two years of experience. The successful candidate will be responsible for the precise preparation of 2D as-built documentation directly from already processed and finalized 3D laser scan point cloud data. Working under the guidance of the As-Built Survey Technical Lead, the specialist will utilize industry-standard CAD and point cloud viewing software to accurately extract architectural features and create detailed drawings that reflect existing conditions.

Key Responsibilities

For As-Built Projects from 3D Laser Scan Data:

Generate accurate and detailed 2D CAD drawings (floor plans, sections, elevations, and other architectural details) from provided, processed 3D laser scan point cloud data. Utilize point cloud viewing software (e.g., Autodesk Recap, CloudCompare, Faro Scene Viewer, Leica Cyclone PUBLISHER) to navigate, measure, and interpret spatial information. Apply advanced drafting techniques in CAD software to convert point cloud measurements into clean, precise, and dimensionally accurate architectural drawings. Ensure all as-built drawings adhere to company drafting standards, project specifications, and relevant architectural/building codes. Perform thorough self-quality checks on drafted work to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency before submission for review by the Technical Lead. Collaborate closely with the As-Built Survey Technical Lead to clarify project requirements, resolve drafting challenges, and incorporate feedback. Manage and organize project drawing files and related documentation efficiently.

General Responsibilities:

Maintain a strong understanding of best practices in 2D architectural drafting and as-built documentation. Continuously improve drafting skills and knowledge of relevant software and technologies. Contribute to the development and refinement of drafting workflows and standards under the direction of the Technical Lead. Adhere to project timelines and deliverables, ensuring efficient completion of tasks.
