  • Prepare detailed fabrication, assembly, and general arrangement drawings.
  • Manage drawing revisions, control documentation, and maintain drawing traceability through established systems (Vault exposure advantageous).
2. Engineering Support
  • Collaborate with Engineers to translate conceptual designs into manufacturable outputs.
  • Participate in design reviews and incorporate engineering feedback efficiently.
  • Assist in resolving design challenges, interferences, and site-related design modifications.
3. Standards & Compliance
  • Apply industry standards, codes of practice, and internal drawing conventions.
  • Ensure all drawings meet company quality standards and project specifications.
4. Manufacturing & Project Interface
  • Produce accurate bills of materials (BOMs) and support procurement with technical detail.
  • Provide drawing support to fabrication teams and address workshop queries.
  • Support the Project Management Office with layout drawings, equipment footprints, and interface details.
5. Quality control

  • Review all drawings, layouts, and detailing for technical accuracy, completeness, and constructability prior to issue.
  • Perform cross-checks between disciplines (structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, etc.) to identify clashes, inconsistencies, or interface issues.
  • Ensure drawing issue status, numbering, and document control requirements are correctly followed.
  • Identify and resolve drafting errors, omissions, and non-conformances prior to internal review or external submission.
  • Support continuous improvement of drafting and QC processes by identifying recurring issues and proposing corrective actions.
