JUNIOR/ TRACER/COPY DRAFTER

Primarily a trainee, principal task is to be present in the office and assist where required with all low level tasks in order to get over all experience of what the business of a design office is about. It is the first stepping stone towards becoming a drafter. The individual either traces or manually copies the contents of one drawing sheet onto another drawing sheet. This develops skills in reading drawings, and producing drawings, and also provides foundation knowledge in the area of the product being designed. When using CAD the tracer will copy files, delete layers, rename objects, and otherwise modify the style/format of a copy of an existing drawing to meet current project specific CAD standards.
