What I'm looking for

I seek a senior CAD leadership role where I can lead CAD teams, standardize workflows, ensure drawing quality to ISO standards, and work on large-scale structural/high-rise projects.

I am a Senior CAD Engineer with 20+ years of experience leading CAD departments, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and producing structural and architectural shop drawings for high-rise and steel-structure projects across India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and international assignments. I have a proven track record in developing and maintaining CAD standards, quality-checking drawings to ISO requirements, and managing coordination between design teams, site engineers and consultants.

As Head of CAD, I allocate work, mentor staff, conduct interviews, raise technical queries to consultants, and ensure project targets and client requirements are met. My background includes temporary works design, bar bending schedules, as-built documentation, and proficiency with AutoCAD/MicroStation and common office software.
