**Civil drafter skills**

If you're interested in a career in civil drafting, these are some of the most important skills to help you succeed:

- **Attention to detail**: When creating a document, it is important that your final product is precise and accurate. The ability to pay close attention and verify that every measurement is correct is essential, as is the ability to note any key details in a brief or survey to identify any important concerns during drafting.
- **Coordination**: A civil drafter creates plans that often require the coordination of several different groups or contractors. A contractor with strong coordination skills is capable of effectively sharing information between groups so everyone on the project understands their expectations on the plan.
- **Creativity**: The ability to think creatively is a useful skill for a civil drafter. When working on a drafting assignment, creativity allows a drafter to provide innovative and unique ideas, which improves the quality of the final draft and results in the best possible design choices overall.
- **Critical thinking**: When working on a draft, a civil drafter may be presented with complications that were either overlooked by the engineer responsible for the initial plans or discovered while work is underway. Critical thinking skills allow a drafter to assist in problem-solving by assessing the situation and identifying potential solutions.
- **Computer-assisted drawing (CAD) software**: It's important for a civil drafter to possess technical skills with CAD software. Using CAD software allows a civil drafter to efficiently produce technical drawings and plans for civil development projects. Software proficiency allows a civil drafter to create accurate documents so that crews can effectively follow them during construction.
- **Time management**: A civil drafter in a city or town undergoing substantial renovation is likely to have many projects to work on that range from consulting on projects currently being developed to new projects in need of drafts. Time management skills allow a civil drafter to efficiently use their time and complete all projects and assignments on time to keep development on schedule.
