ATOMIC

Produce drawings, using computer-assisted drafting systems (CAD) or drafting machines, or by hand, using compasses, dividers, protractors, triangles, and other drafting devices.

ATOMIC

Draft plans and detailed drawings for structures, installations, and construction projects, such as highways, sewage disposal systems, and dikes, working from sketches or notes.

ATOMIC

Coordinate structural, electrical, and mechanical designs and determine a method of presentation to graphically represent building plans.

ATOMIC

Analyze building codes, by-laws, space and site requirements, and other technical documents and reports to determine their effect on architectural designs.

ATOMIC

Draw maps, diagrams, and profiles, using cross-sections and surveys, to represent elevations, topographical contours, subsurface formations, and structures.

ATOMIC

Lay out and plan interior room arrangements for commercial buildings, using computer-assisted drafting (CAD) equipment and software.

ATOMIC

Supervise and train other technologists, technicians, and drafters.

ATOMIC

Determine the order of work and method of presentation, such as orthographic or isometric drawing.

ATOMIC

Finish and duplicate drawings and documentation packages according to required mediums and specifications for reproduction, using blueprinting, photography, or other duplicating methods.

ATOMIC

Draw rough and detailed scale plans for foundations, buildings, and structures, based on preliminary concepts, sketches, engineering calculations, specification sheets, and other data.

ATOMIC

Correlate, interpret, and modify data obtained from topographical surveys, well logs, and geophysical prospecting reports.

ATOMIC

Check dimensions of materials to be used and assign numbers to lists of materials.

ATOMIC

Determine procedures and instructions to be followed, according to design specifications and quantity of required materials.

ATOMIC

Supervise or conduct field surveys, inspections, or technical investigations to obtain data required to revise construction drawings.

ATOMIC

Explain drawings to production or construction teams and provide adjustments as necessary.

ATOMIC

Obtain and assemble data to complete architectural designs, visiting job sites to compile measurements as necessary.

ATOMIC

Determine quality, cost, strength, and quantity of required materials, and enter figures on materials lists.

ATOMIC

Locate and identify symbols on topographical surveys to denote geological and geophysical formations or oil field installations.

ATOMIC

Create freehand drawings and lettering to accompany drawings.

ATOMIC

Calculate excavation tonnage and prepare graphs and fill-hauling diagrams for use in earth-moving operations.

ATOMIC

Prepare colored drawings of landscape and interior designs for presentation to client.

ATOMIC

Calculate weights, volumes, and stress factors and their implications for technical aspects of designs.

ATOMIC

Plot characteristics of boreholes for oil and gas wells from photographic subsurface survey recordings and other data, representing depth, degree, and direction of inclination.

ATOMIC

Reproduce drawings on copy machines or trace copies of plans and drawings, using transparent paper or cloth, ink, pencil, and standard drafting instruments.

ATOMIC

Calculate heat loss and gain of buildings and structures to determine required equipment specifications, following standard procedures.

ATOMIC

Prepare cost estimates, contracts, bidding documents, and technical reports for specific projects under an architect's or engineer's supervision.

ATOMIC

Represent architect or engineer on construction site, ensuring builder compliance with design specifications and advising on design corrections, under supervision.

ATOMIC

Review rough sketches, drawings, specifications, and other engineering data to ensure that they conform to design concepts.
