Civil drafters prepare drawings and maps for use in civil engineering projects, such as the construction of bridges, highways, and piping systems. They also calculate costs and interpret data for designs. Civil drafters typically work in an office environment where they calculate and create designs using computer software, and the job also requires visits to construction sites where civil drafters take note of geographic features of the area. Civil drafters communicate with engineering or other technical personnel and work with construction and production teams during the building of a design. This position suits those who enjoy design and have a knack for accurate calculations.
