Engineering Design Technicians produce designs and drawings for structures, piping, electrical systems, control and instrumentation systems, and mechanical components used in commercial construction.
During this apprenticeship, you will be based at office locations within project design teams and occasionally work at on-site locations. You are required to understand on-site hazards and health and safety requirements.
During your apprenticeship, you will learn how to understand technical drawings and specifications, create your own, identify factors likely to affect design decisions, produce CAD (computer-aided design) & BIM models and engineering drawings, and communicate design information to internal and external parties.
Duties typically include:
* Identify inaccuracies or discrepancies in engineering drawings and specifications and propose solutions.
* Identify and assess factors that affect designs e.g. materials, application, location, risk, and environment.
* Design engineering concepts to solve engineering challenges.
* Develop effective solutions which satisfy the required standards and can be manufactured, proven, operated, and maintained in a cost-effective way whilst minimizing costs.
* Evaluate engineering designs to determine the most effective solution.
* Produce detailed engineering drawings to relevant standards and codes, using paper and computer.
* Check completed drawings for quality, technical compliance, and completeness - both own or those of peers.
* Communicate and co-ordinate engineering design options with relevant stakeholders, colleagues, and clients using sketches, schemes, models, detailed drawings, and reports.
