HireSetu's note
Civil sheets and their conventions
Everything here sits inside a heavy civil infrastructure business, so the sheets are geotechnical, structural and infrastructure drawings, not mechanical parts or furniture layouts. You need the drafting conventions that go with them: plan, section, elevation, layout and detail, at a workable scale, with line weights that survive a printed sheet.
If your ITI course leaned mechanical, spend a weekend on civil drawing practice before you apply. Cutting a section, setting a scale and laying out a title block are the things you'll be doing from the first week.
Lead your resume with the drawing set
AutoCAD 2D is the skill that gets read first, so put it at the top with a line on what you have actually drawn, not just the software name. A small set of your own sheets, a plan with a section and a detail, plotted with proper layers and a title block, is worth carrying to the interview.
The document control side is easy to overlook. Drawing numbers, revision marks and a register in Excel are daily tasks, and heavy civil offices run strictly on revisions. Any experience keeping files and versions straight belongs on your CV.
A drafter's route from here
Two years in, drafters either go deeper into drawing production as a senior drafter, or move toward BIM and 3D tools, which is where heavy civil outfits increasingly work. Some use the time to finish a diploma through lateral entry and shift toward site engineering.
The geotechnical and structural exposure is the useful part. You learn how a foundation drawing relates to what actually gets built.
Chennai office and project deadlines
The posting is at the Chennai head office. Heavy civil work runs on project schedules, so deadlines come from construction timelines rather than a steady queue of tickets, and some weeks will be heavy with revisions.
Where you're based once training ends is worth confirming, along with whether site visits are part of the job. That matters if you would rather stay in one place.
