AutoCAD Draughtsman

Key Responsibilities

• 2D Production Drafting: Prepare clear, manufacturing-ready 2D mechanical drawings, detail part drawings, fabrication layouts, and assembly views using 2D CAD tools (such as AutoCAD).
• Drafting Conversions & Revisions: Convert engineer sketches, marked-up PDFs (redlines), and 3D models into accurate 2D drawings while strictly adhering to drafting standards.
• Dimensioning & Tolerancing: Apply linear and angular dimensions, standard fit tolerances, surface finish notations, and basic Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) per company guidelines.
• Bill of Materials (BOM): Assist in generating and updating itemized part lists, title blocks, and Bills of Materials (BOM) for fabrication and procurement teams.
• Drawing Maintenance: Update existing drawing revisions based on Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and maintain organized revision histories.
• Standard Compliance: Ensure drawings comply with industry drafting standards (such as ASME Y14.5 or ISO 1101) as well as internal layer, font, and line-weight standards.
• Cross-Department Collaboration: Coordinate with design engineers, machinists, and workshop fabricators to clarify drawing details or resolve drafting discrepancies.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Education: Diploma or ITI in Mechanical Draughtsmanship / Mechanical Engineering, or a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Experience: 1 year of professional hands-on drafting experience in mechanical drafting, detailing, or manufacturing.
• Software Proficiency: Strong foundational skills in AutoCAD (2D Mechanical) or comparable 2D drafting packages.
• Orthographic Projection: Solid grasp of first-angle and third-angle orthographic projection principles, sectional views, and auxiliary views.
• Blueprint Reading: Ability to read and interpret mechanical blueprints, machining symbols, weld symbols, and fastener details.
• Attention to Detail: High standard of precision regarding line weights, dimension placements, sheet layout aesthetics, and spelling in general notes.
