Architectural and Civil Drafters
Architectural and civil drafters are responsible for creating detailed
technical drawings and plans that are used in the design and
construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.
They typically use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create their
drawings, which must be accurate and detailed enough to provide the
necessary information for construction crews or engineers to complete
their work. Their work involves a variety of geoscience-related
projects, including:
-
Designing and drafting maps and topographical models of geological
features, such as fault lines, rock formations, and soil
composition.
-
Creating plans for environmental remediation or hazard mitigation
projects, such as flood control measures or earthquake-resistant
buildings.
-
Developing blueprints for mining operations or oil and gas
extraction facilities.
-
Coordinating with geologists and other professionals to ensure that
the plans meet regulations and standards.
