MEP Mechanical Draftsman MACS Group

The Senior Draughtsman is responsible for producing high-quality technical drawings and plans for

industrial manufacturing processes. This role involves working closely with engineers and project

managers to create detailed and accurate designs for machinery, equipment, or plant layouts. The

Senior Draughtsman will use computer-aided design (CAD) software to draft and modify designs,

ensuring that all plans comply with industry standards and project specifications. Additionally, the role

requires mentoring junior draughtsman and ensuring that drawings and technical documentation are

completed in a timely and precise manner.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Drawing and Drafting

o Create detailed, accurate, and comprehensive technical drawings for manufacturing

processes, machinery, equipment, or plant layouts using CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD,

SolidWorks, or other relevant tools).

o Develop both 2D and 3D models, ensuring the designs meet engineering specifications

and standards.

o Modify existing drawings based on feedback from engineers, project managers, or

clients.

o Ensure that all drawings are in compliance with company standards, industry

regulations, and project requirements.

1. Collaboration with Engineers and Design Teams

o Work closely with engineers, production teams, and project managers to understand

design requirements, manufacturing constraints, and project timelines.

o Assist engineers in preparing technical drawings for complex systems, components, or

products.

o Review design proposals and provide feedback or suggestions for improvements based

on practical manufacturing considerations.

o Participate in design review meetings and assist in troubleshooting any design or

drafting issues.

1. Document Management and Revision Control

o Maintain and manage all technical drawings, specifications, and related documents to

ensure they are current and easily accessible.

o Implement a proper revision control system to track changes, ensuring that all

stakeholders are working with the most up-to-date plans.

o Ensure that drawing standards and documentation are consistent across all projects,

maintaining high levels of accuracy and quality.

1. Design Analysis and Support

o Analyze project requirements and develop draft designs that can be easily translated

into workable production specifications.

o Identify potential design flaws or inefficiencies and work with the engineering team to

resolve them.

o Evaluate the feasibility of designs, suggesting modifications to optimize performance or

manufacturability.

o Provide technical support to production teams, helping them understand and

implement design specifications.

1. Mentorship and Training

o Mentor and guide junior draughtsmen, providing advice and technical support to help

them develop their skills.

o Provide training on the use of CAD software, design principles, and industry standards to

junior team members.

o Assist in reviewing and evaluating the work of junior draughtsmen to ensure compliance

with company standards.

1. Project Coordination and Timelines

o Manage multiple drafting tasks and ensure that deadlines for project deliverables are

met.

o Coordinate with other departments to ensure designs are aligned with production

schedules and project goals.

o Prioritize tasks effectively, adjusting to changes in project scope or timelines as

necessary.

1. Quality Control and Compliance

o Ensure that all drafts and drawings meet relevant industry standards, codes, and

regulations.

o Conduct quality checks on all technical drawings to ensure accuracy, clarity, and

consistency.

o Ensure designs are cost-effective, manufacturable, and comply with all client

specifications and requirements.

1. Continuous Improvement

o Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in CAD software, drafting techniques, and

manufacturing processes.

o Suggest improvements to the drafting process, tools, and methodologies to increase

efficiency and quality.

o Participate in ongoing professional development activities to enhance technical skills

and knowledge.
