Other Specification

·         Strong, demonstrated proficiency in AutoCAD is essential — drawing and editing commands, layer management, blocks and external references (xrefs), dimensioning and annotation, text and leader styles, and plotting/printing to scale (layouts, viewports, and PDF output).

·         Working knowledge of Autodesk Revit (Structure) is preferred; at a minimum, the candidate must be able to maintain coordination and interoperability between AutoCAD and Revit files.

·         Ability to read and interpret structural engineering drawings, calculations, and engineer's markups/redlines, and translate them into accurate drawings.

·         Ability to produce clean, print-ready drawings following office drafting conventions and templates.

·         Experience managing drawing sets across multiple revisions, including version control and sheet numbering.

·         Comfortable working with AutoCAD and Revit templates, blocks, and title-block standards; experience customizing templates is preferred.

·         Prior exposure to structural drafting for wood-frame, steel, and/or reinforced-concrete construction; exposure to North American structural drafting standards is an added advantage.

·         Familiarity with 3D modeling or rendering software (for example, Revit, SketchUp, or similar) is an added advantage.

·         Able to independently maintain a reusable template library of typical details, CAD blocks and client title blocks, updated from past project experience and the engineer's instructions/sketches.

·         Strong attention to detail, sound time management, effective written and verbal communication in English, and a collaborative approach to taking direction from the team leader.

·         No independent design, analysis, or code knowledge is required — the project engineer provides the design intent and is responsible for code compliance.

Job Description

Himalayan Ridge Engineering (HRE) is seeking a motivated Drafter to join our structural/architectural drafting and documentation team. The successful candidate will prepare structural drawing sets — foundation plans, framing plans, sections, and connection details — as directed by the team leader, and update them in line with review comments and markups, coordinating with the project engineer as required. This is a drafting support role: all design decisions, calculations, and code compliance rest with the project engineer. This role suits a candidate with solid CAD drafting fundamentals and an eye for detail.

·         Prepare structural drawing sets — foundation plans, framing plans, sections, and connection details.

·         Translate engineering calculations, sketches, and markups into accurate, coordinated CAD/BIM drawings.

·         Coordinate regularly with the team leader and project engineer, and update drawings in line with review comments and meeting notes.

·         Manage multiple revisions efficiently and deliver assigned work within agreed project deadlines.

·         Maintain organized, up-to-date project files and drawing sets in accordance with office filing standards.

·         Perform basic quality checks on drawings prior to issue to confirm accuracy and completeness.

·         Track completed project returns, change orders, and comments needing update on a daily basis; report to the project engineer and flag drafting issues and template enhancements to the designated engineer.

·         Support the standardization of drafting templates, blocks, and title blocks to improve office efficiency (preferred, not mandatory).

·         Coordinate and facilitate intra-team communication on drafting standards, templates, issues, and workflows.

·         Undertake any other duties reasonably assigned by the team leader in line with the scope of the role.

Software & Tools

·         Required: AutoCAD.

·         Preferred: Autodesk Revit.

·         Supporting: AutoCAD DWG TrueView / design review tools, PDF markup tools (Bluebeam Revu or Adobe Acrobat), Microsoft Office, and cloud-based file management platforms.

Applying Procedure

Interested candidates meeting the above requirements are requested to fill the form with an updated CV and a portfolio/sample drawing set (PDF). Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for a drafting test and interview. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted; telephone enquiries will not be entertained.
