Mechanical Draftsman

Role & responsibilities

The Mechanical Draughtsman at SFC Environmental Technologies Ltd. plays a vital

role in transforming mechanical & Civil design concepts into precise, code-compliant drawings

that enable seamless fabrication, erection, and commissioning. This position ensures all

mechanical layouts such as piping systems, equipment GAs, Civil GAs and structural

supports are executed with accuracy, technical integrity, and clarity. The role contributes

significantly to the quality and efficiency of wastewater and solid waste treatment projects by

enabling error-free execution at the site level.

The key responsibilities of this role include,

1. Drawing Preparation & Detailing:

• Prepare GA, layout, sectional, and isometric drawings for mechanical and piping systems using AutoCAD.
• Develop accurate MTOs and BOQs from piping and equipment layouts.
• Prepare P&ID, PFD & Process Plant Layouts.
• Prepare Civil & Mechanical GADs for various structure.
• Understanding of water treatment process equipment layouts specific to RO skids, membranes, pumps, piping manifolds, and UV disinfection units.

2. Coordination with Engineers & Project Teams:

• Interpret P&IDs, equipment datasheets, and engineering sketches
• Collaborate with mechanical, civil, electrical, and process teams for clash-free layouts.
• Incorporate red-line markups from engineering or site teams

3. Drawing Management & Compliance:

• Ensure all mechanical drawings are developed as per relevant codes and SFC drafting standards.
• Maintain proper revision control, document archiving, and versioning.
• Support preparation of as-built drawings post-commissioning

4. Software Utilization:

• Work primarily on AutoCAD 2D; optionally use 3D tools (e.g., AutoCAD Plant 3D & Revit) for complex layouts or assemblies
• Use MS Excel for tabulation of MTOs, BOQs, and drawing logs

5. Site & Vendor Interface:

• Coordinate with vendors to incorporate interface requirements or dimensional data.
• Incorporate site measurement inputs or feedback into revised layouts

6. Mentorship:

• Provide guidance to junior draughtspersons to maintain output quality and skill development.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

1. Drawing Accuracy:

• Number of drawing approved without revision

2. Design Compliance:

• Adherence to standards of electrical drawings with applicable codes (e.g., NEC, IEC)

3. Timely Submission:

• Number of deliverables completed within project timelines

4. Clash Detection Resolution:

• Number of layout issues resolved proactively

5. File Management:

• Proper versioning and organization of drawing files

Academic Qualifications

• Diploma / ITI / Civil / Mechanical / relevant stream with experience in technical drawing for infrastructure or water treatment

Skills & Competencies Required

• Minimum 5 years of experience in mechanical drafting for process infrastructure projects (WWTP, ETP, STP preferred)
• Understanding of fabrication standards, welding symbols, tolerances, and piping class specifications
• AutoCAD 2D (mandatory), Plant 3D/SolidWorks (preferred), MS Excel
• Preferred: Experience with Plant 3D and/or Revit
• If not, Training on BIM Software like Revit & Plant 3D will be provided, however prior knowledge is an advantage
• Comfortable with frequent travel and on-site working

Reporting Structure & Collaboration

• Reports To: Head Detail Engineering

Collaborates With:

• Internal: Proposal, Process, Mechanical, Electrical, Automation, Procurement, Project Execution
• External: Contractors, Site Engineers

The Mechanical Draughtsman at SFC Environmental Technologies Ltd. plays a key

role in translating mechanical engineering concepts into detailed, accurate, and standards-

compliant drawings. By preparing general arrangement layouts, fabrication drawings, and

piping schematics, this role supports the precise fabrication and installation of mechanical

systems within wastewater and solid waste infrastructure projects.

Their technical expertise and collaboration with cross-functional teams are essential to

ensuring efficient execution, operational reliability, and long-term sustainability of engineered

solutions.
