DRAFTER

In a design organisation the position is principally a trainee position for design-drafters. In other organisations principally concerned with documentation and illustration, drafters are career positions. In a design organisation it is the next step up from tracer. The drafter is responsible for organising the graphical information for a project. The drafter determines drawings, views, sections and details required, and decide on symbolic or pictorial format for the drawings. Given design sketches (at least two complete orthographic views), produces formal drawings to drafting standards, and can generate all additional views, sections that maybe required to clearly communicate the design concept and intent.
