About The Mechanical Drafter (CAD) Position

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Mechanical Drafter (CAD) to join our MEP team on a high-profile Tunnel Construction MEP Fit-Out project. The Electrical Draughtsman will be responsible for producing accurate and detailed technical drawings, layouts, and as-built plans for the electrical systems within the tunnel infrastructure. The role demands a deep understanding of tunnel-specific electrical design requirements, coordination with multidisciplinary teams, and adherence to stringent safety and technical standards.

Responsibilities:

• Drafting and Design Development:
  • Prepare detailed mechanical drawings, including HVAC, piping, fire protection, and drainage systems, using CAD software (Auto CAD, Revit, etc.).
  • Develop tunnel construction MEP fit-out plans, sections, and isometric views.
  • Generate shop drawings, installation details, and as-built drawings as per project requirements.
  • Ensure all drawings comply with project specifications, relevant codes, standards, and client expectations.
• Coordination with Engineering Teams:
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and civil engineers to integrate all MEP services in the tunnel's overall design.
  • Coordinate with structural and architectural draughtsmen to avoid clashes and ensure alignment between systems.
  • Review mechanical designs to ensure constructability and compliance with project requirements.
  • Update drawings based on feedback from design engineers, project managers, and site teams.
• Quality Assurance and Documentation:
  • Perform self-checks and quality control on drawings to ensure accuracy, clarity, and completeness.
  • Maintain an organized library of all drawing revisions and changes in compliance with document control procedures.
  • Prepare and submit drawing submittals for review and approval by consultants and clients.
• Field Coordination and Support:
  • Collaborate with site teams and assist in interpreting drawings for installation purposes.
  • Visit the project site to gather necessary information for drafting updates and modifications.
  • Modify drawings to reflect on-site changes and red-line markups from site teams.
• BIM Integration:
  • Assisting BIM modeling and coordination for mechanical services, ensuring 3D models are compatible with overall project BIM requirements.
  • Participate in clash detection and resolution meetings to ensure seamless MEP system integration.
• Compliance and Standards:
  • Ensure compliance with international and local standards, such as ASHRAE, NFPA, and BS Codes.
  • Stay updated on relevant advancements in CAD software, MEP drafting techniques, and industry best practices.

Requirements:

• Education:
  • Diploma or certification in Mechanical Drafting, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Additional certifications in Auto CAD, Revit, or BIM technology will be an advantage.
• Experience:
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience as a Mechanical Draughtsman in the construction industry, with a focus on tunnel construction, infrastructure, or large-scale MEP projects.
  • Strong experience in producing mechanical drawings for HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and other mechanical systems.
  • Previous experience working on tunnel or underground construction projects is highly preferred.
• Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency in Auto CAD, Revit, or other relevant CAD software.
  • Strong understanding of MEP systems, mechanical layouts, and tunnel construction practices.
  • Knowledge of mechanical codes, standards, and design criteria.
  • Familiarity with BIM software and processes is a plus.
• Additional Requirements:
  • Must be familiar with tunnel construction environments and safety procedures.
  • Willingness to work in both office and site environments.
  • Ability to adapt to changes in design or project requirements during construction phases.
