- Ensuring all drawings comply with client CAD standards, project specifications, layer conventions, and BIM/CAD execution plans.
- Preparing and organizing drawing sheets for issue, including title blocks, legends, notes, and drawing registers.
- Assisting in the preparation of construction documentation, shop drawings, setting-out drawings, and as-built drawings for handover.
- Supporting clash detection and coordination between highways, utilities, structures, and other disciplines by maintaining well-organized and consistent CAD models.
- Maintaining structured electronic drawing records, ensuring that the latest approved revisions are clearly identified and readily available.
- Providing mentoring, technical guidance, and quality checks on drawings produced by junior CAD technicians.
- Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams (highways, drainage, utilities, structures, traffic, and landscape) to produce integrated and coordinated design packages.
