Structural Draftsman

Overview

The Structural Draftsman – Civil is responsible for preparing detailed structural drawings for high‑rise building projects
, translating structural engineering designs into accurate, clear, and buildable drawings. The role requires strong experience in reinforced concrete and steel structures
, coordination with multidisciplinary teams, and adherence to international and local building codes.

• Prepare detailed structural drawings for high‑rise buildings, including:
• Foundations (raft, piled foundations, pile caps)
• Columns, shear walls, beams, slabs, core walls
• Staircases, lift pits, retaining walls, and podium structures
• Develop reinforcement detailing and bar bending schedules (BBS) in accordance with approved codes
• Produce shop drawings
  , construction drawings
  , and as‑built drawings
• Interpret structural design calculations, sketches, and specifications provided by structural engineers
• Coordinate with architectural, MEP, façade, and civil disciplines to resolve clashes and ensure constructability
• Revise and update drawings based on engineer comments, site conditions, and design changes
• Ensure compliance with international standards (ACI, BS, Eurocode) and applicable local codes
• Maintain proper drawing documentation, revisions, and version control
• Support engineers during construction stage coordination and technical clarifications
• Attend coordination meetings when required and assist in resolving site‑related issues
