Your role as Drafts(wo)man

In this role, you will be responsible for correctly implementing the improvements or changes in the design drawings. Besides that, your skills and design experience will provide Ampelmann with the best solutions for fabrication issues or improvements in the design while dealing with the restrictions from the existing product. No project will be similar to one another, giving you plenty of learning room. During the product life cycle you will use a Product Data Management (PDM) system to store, change and revise the 3D models and 2D drawings. As a drafts(wo)man, you will liaise between our experienced engineers and our fabricators, playing an integral role in the production process. This hands-on involvement allows you to be at the driver’s seat: starting from a draft, you will turn it into your design and have the chance to see the life of your work come in practice. You will be a key player in maintaining and improving the Ampelmann drawing standards.
