Civil Engineering Draftsperson (ANZSCO 312211)

About the role

This role involves preparing, updating and reviewing civil and telecommunications drawings and field mark-ups using AutoCAD and other drafting tools for fibre and underground infrastructure works. You will interpret civil engineering drawings, network plans, underground service information and project specifications to support accurate construction and field execution.

Key responsibilities

• Prepare, update and review civil and telecommunications drawings and field mark-ups using AutoCAD and other drafting tools for fibre and underground infrastructure works.

• Interpret civil engineering drawings, network plans, underground service information and project specifications to support accurate construction and field execution.

• Record site measurements, set-outs, field conditions and completed works for as-built documentation and drawing updates.

• Maintain drawing revisions, technical records, quality-control documentation and supporting project information throughout the project lifecycle.

• Coordinate with engineers, supervisors and field crews to translate design requirements into practical site set-outs and construction activities.

• Identify clashes, constraints and constructability issues involving existing underground utilities and assist with practical drawing and site adjustments.

• Support design and documentation for trenching, conduit routes, pits, pit-and-pipe systems, dig-down repairs, fibre remediation and underground service reinstatement.

• Check dimensions, locations, clearances and completed works against drawings, project specifications, quality requirements and site conditions.

• Conduct site inspections and assist with quality assurance to ensure civil works and reinstatement activities are completed to required standards.

• Follow WHS procedures and project requirements relating to underground services, field safety, traffic management and safe civil construction practices.
