• Diploma in Civil Engineering, or Architectural Draughting from a recognized Ugandan institution — including Kyambogo University, Uganda Technical Colleges (UTC), Makerere University, or NITA-U accredited polytechnics.
  
• A Bachelor’s Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering, or Architectural Draughting or a related engineering discipline is strongly preferred at this level.
  

Professional / Technical Training (Required or Preferred):

• Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D essential; 3D an advantage) – a formal AutoCAD certification from Autodesk or an accredited training institution is an added advantage.
  
• Working knowledge of SolidWorks, Revit, CATIA, or similar 3D CAD platforms is an advantage.
  
• Training in Engineering Drawing Standards — ISO 128, ISO 3511, IEC 60617, or equivalent.
  

Minimum Experience:

• At least 1–2 years of hands-on experience as a draughtsman or CAD technician in a maintenance engineering, manufacturing, construction, or industrial environment.
  
• Demonstrated experience producing a wide range of engineering drawings — mechanical, electrical, civil/structural, and P&ID — to professional standards.
  

Technical Drawing Production

• Produce accurate, fully dimensioned engineering drawings using CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or equivalent in use) including: general arrangement (GA) drawings, detailed component drawings, assembly drawings, fabrication drawings, and installation drawings.
  
• Produce and maintain Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) for refrigeration systems, IT and Electrical lines, drainage systems, and compressed air systems in collaboration with the relevant engineers.
  
• Produce electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, panel layout drawings, and cable routing plans in collaboration with the Electrical Engineer.
  

Drawing Revision Control & Document Management

• Maintain a comprehensive, version-controlled drawing register covering all engineering assets — ensuring every drawing has a unique number, current revision status, issue date, and authorization record.
  
• Implement and enforce the organization’s drawing revision control procedure: no drawing is re-issued without a formal revision cloud, revision index update, and superseded-copy withdrawal.
  
• Administer the drawing archive (electronic and hard copy where required), ensuring drawings are filed, searchable, and backed up in accordance with document retention policies.
  

Site Surveys & As-Built Documentation

• Conduct site surveys and physical measurements of plant, equipment, and workshop facilities to produce accurate as-built drawings where original documentation is unavailable or outdated.
  
• Use appropriate measurement tools — tape measures, laser distance meters, vernier callipers — to capture precise dimensions for drawing production.
  
• Photograph and document existing installations to support drawing production and asset documentation programmes.
  

Technical Standards & Drawing Quality

• Apply and enforce engineering drawing standards across all produced drawings — including ISO 128 (technical drawings), ISO 3511 (P&ID symbols), IEC 60617 (electrical symbols), and any company-specific drafting standards.
  
• Check all drawings prior to issue for accuracy of dimensions, tolerances, material specifications, surface finishes, weld symbols, and title block information.
  

Project & Maintenance Support

• Provide drawing support for planned maintenance shutdowns, plant modification projects, and capital engineering works — producing drawing packages on time to support project schedules.
  
• Participate in engineering design reviews, providing draughting input and flagging any constructability or drawing-standard issues before drawings are issued for construction or fabrication.
  
• Support the preparation of maintenance procedure documentation, SOPs, and work instruction diagrams that aid technicians in carrying out complex maintenance tasks safely and correctly.
  

Knowledge Transfer

• Provide guidance and on-the-job coaching to technicians in CAD tools, drawing standards, and document management practices where applicable.
  
• Conduct periodic drawing quality reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve the standard of technical documentation across the maintenance team
