Standards and Controlled Production Apply agreed drawing, modelling, and presentation standards consistently across all outputs. Use approved templates, title blocks, model structures, and configuration settings. Follow established production workflows and Technical Drawing Office procedures. Maintain consistency across deliverables, packages, and revisions throughout the project lifecycle. Coordination Support Support coordination activities by responding to coordination comments, clash outputs, and required updates. Work under the direction of the Senior Technician to address coordination and quality issues. Ensure discipline outputs integrate correctly with other project information. Identify and raise potential clashes, inconsistencies, or buildability concerns. Quality and Accuracy Carry out self-checks prior to review and issue. Correct errors and omissions identified through checking, coordination, or review processes. Maintain accurate revision control and ensure superseded information is not reused. Take responsibility for the accuracy and quality of own outputs. Collaboration and Development Work closely with engineers, designers, and other technicians within the discipline. Engage positively with feedback and direction from Senior Technicians. Develop technical skills, software capability, and understanding of project workflows. Contribute to a collaborative, professional, and delivery-focused working environment. Does this sound like a role you have envisaged yourself in?
