FF Draughtsman

An FF Draughtsman prepares detailed technical drawings and layouts for fire fighting systems, including piping, sprinkler systems, hydrants, and fire pumps. The draughtsman works closely with fire safety engineers and project teams to translate fire protection designs into accurate, constructible drawings that comply with relevant codes and standards.

Tasks

• Produce detailed CAD drawings for fire fighting systems (sprinklers, hydrants, fire pumps, piping layouts).
• Convert fire safety design concepts and specifications into clear, accurate plans and schematics.
• Collaborate with engineers, architects, and contractors to ensure drawings meet technical and regulatory requirements.
• Revise drawings based on design changes or site conditions.
• Prepare as-built drawings after installation completion.
• Ensure compliance with NFPA, IFC, or other local fire safety codes.
• Maintain drawing records and project documentation.

Requirements

Diploma or certification in Drafting, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

Proficient in CAD software such as AutoCAD, Revit, or equivalent.

Knowledge of fire fighting equipment and systems.

Familiarity with fire safety standards and codes.

Good attention to detail and ability to interpret engineering drawings.

Basic understanding of hydraulics in fire fighting piping layouts is a plus.
