Drafting Jobs
A Drafter in the construction industry plays a crucial role in translating architectural or engineering designs into detailed technical drawings. These drawings are typically used as visual guidelines for constructing buildings or infrastructure projects. Drafters create plans for different project aspects like structural foundations, electrical systems, and piping layouts. They use specialized software to create 2D and 3D representations, which includes precise measurements, materials, procedures, and other vital construction details.
Essential skills for a Drafter include strong technical drawing abilities, proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) software, spatial understanding, and keen attention to detail. They should also have knowledge of construction methods and materials. Drafters often require an associate degree in drafting, while a certification from the American Design Drafting Association (ADDA) can help highlight their professional competence. Before becoming a drafter, a person may have roles such as a CAD technician, architectural assistant, or engineering technician, where they gain the necessary experience in technical drawing and design.
