Fabrication & Production Coordination

  • Coordinate with fabrication and workshop teams to ensure drawings are practical and suitable for manufacturing.
  • Prepare cutting lists, material schedules, and fabrication documentation where required.
  • Review drawings for constructability and identify potential fabrication or installation issues before production.
  • Coordinate with production teams regarding dimensions, materials, welding details, connections, and assembly requirements.
  • Resolve technical drawing discrepancies in coordination with engineers, project managers, and workshop personnel.

Project & Site Coordination

  • Coordinate with project engineers, site engineers, supervisors, consultants, and clients regarding drawing requirements.
  • Incorporate site measurements, technical clarifications, RFIs, and approved modifications into drawings.
  • Revise drawings based on consultant/client comments and ensure timely resubmission.
  • Support site teams by providing clarification on drawings, dimensions, connections, and installation details.
  • Ensure the latest approved drawings are communicated to relevant project and production teams.

Material Take-Off & Documentation

  • Prepare material take-offs based on approved drawings and project requirements.
  • Assist with BOQ preparation and material quantity calculations when required.
  • Maintain accurate drawing registers, revision records, and technical documentation.
  • Ensure proper document control and version management for all drawings.
  • Maintain organized digital records of approved, revised, and superseded drawings.

Quality & Compliance

  • Ensure drawings comply with project specifications, approved design requirements, UAE construction standards, and applicable industry practices.
  • Check drawings for dimensional accuracy, clashes, constructability, and completeness before submission.
  • Coordinate with QA/QC and engineering teams to address drawing-related quality issues.
  • Maintain a high level of accuracy and attention to detail throughout the drafting and detailing process.
