About the role
A construction CAD technician turns sketches, calculations and mark-ups into clear technical drawings. The panel is looking for accurate AutoCAD work, good file discipline, careful revision control and the confidence to query information that is incomplete or inconsistent.
How to prepare
- Review layers, blocks, external references, layouts, scales and plotting in AutoCAD.
- Choose drawing samples that show dimensions, details and revision information clearly.
- Prepare to explain how you check a drawing against the source mark-up.
- Practise describing how you keep file names and issued revisions under control.
- Think of an example where asking a technical question prevented a drawing error.
Common mistakes
- Focusing on drawing speed while saying little about accuracy.
- Guessing a missing dimension instead of asking the responsible designer.
- Forgetting scale, revision and plotting checks.
- Submitting samples without explaining what you drafted yourself.
