This position involves preparing planning documents related to oil and gas pipelines and other infrastructure projects, which requires a keen attention to detail, as precision and accuracy are essential when creating technical documents. As a civil drafter, you will combine technical expertise with artistic skills to create maps and planning documents that are crucial for the successful execution of engineering projects.
