You’ll develop skills:

using computer-aided drafting (CAD) software to produce detailed drawings, plans and designs for construction work
doing cost estimates and preparing material specifications
liaising with construction workers and project managers
inspecting completed works to ensure they meet specifications and regulations
conducting laboratory and/or field testing of materials, soil and water quality.
