-
Creates and revises a variety of 2D and 3D engineering/design computer-aided drafting (CAD) models and drawings associated for an assigned engineering/design discipline (including but not limited to: Civil/Structural, Electrical, Mechanical, Protection & Control
-
(P&C), Telecom or Municipal) for projects in Generation, Transmission or Distribution throughout the province using BC Hydro tools, guides and standards.
-
Produces a variety of associated graphs, drawings, maps, diagrams, elevation and profile work, isolation/operate drawings, crossing permit and right-of-way permit.
-
Determines when Engineering computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) standards and specifications may need to be altered to meet non-standard situations and that their application is appropriate and applies to the ongoing drafting work and reviews with higher-level CADD team members.
-
Assesses the drawings against applicable engineering/design and CADD standards and where the design appears to be nonstandard or involve conflicting data, flags and may correct errors for the attention of the Engineer/Designer.
-
Performs calculations to determine dimensions, elevations and slopes, actual scale, base loads, quantities of materials and components, acceptable clearances and design layout.
-
Analyzes what may be minimal engineering/design instructions to determine individual project requirements for drawing layouts and presentation of information and gathers additional engineering/design data to meet these requirements, depending on the scope, complexity and nature of each project.
-
May lead or participate in working groups and technical committees such as the creation of CADD standards and supporting materials such as standards, manuals or block drawings.
-
May provide on-the-job orientation to new CAD 1 team members.
-
Performs all the duties of the CAD 1 job.
-
Performs duties of a minor nature related to the above duties that do not affect the rating of the job.
-
Create and revise complex drawings clearly by calculating dimensions, elevations, slopes, actual scale, and using appropriate design layout for the engineering team.
-
Complete technical drafting-related tasks by producing associated graphs, maps, diagrams, and profiles, preparing materials and drawing lists, and performing basic survey tasks following applicable engineering standards.
-
Support the procurement process by creating and revising drawings for tendering to vendors to illustrate required materials.
-
Resolve drafting issues by conducting independent research to collect information on equipment specifications, related drawings, and engineering standards.
-
Organize and maintain drawings by using a drawing management system to ensure security and accessibility.
