Position responsibilities
Provides drafting and minor design support under the guidance of professional engineers. If trained in relevant software, this VA can make updates to CAD drawings, create visual aids, or produce basic design sketches, accelerating the drafting process.
Our CAD design support VAs can handle everything below and more:
- Use CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.) to make minor edits to technical drawings or to draft schematic diagrams based on engineer markups.
- Prepare presentation drawings or renderings for proposals and client meetings, translating engineering concepts into easily digestible visuals.
- Assist in developing bill of materials or quantity take-offs from drawings by listing components or materials shown, which can save engineers time during design and estimation.
