Job Description – Lifting Draftsman (Pipe Spool / Lifting Plans)
**Job Title:** Lifting Draftsman
**Location:** Qatar
**Industry:** Oil \& Gas / EPC / Construction
**Employment Type:** Full\-Time
**Job Summary**
We are looking for a **competent and experienced Lifting Draftsman** with strong practical knowledge of developing **lifting and rigging plans, particularly for pipe spool lifting and installation activities**.
The candidate must be capable of understanding the actual lifting requirements and converting engineering/site information into **clear, technically accurate and workable lifting drawings**. The role requires someone who can independently prepare lifting arrangements and coordinate with Lifting Engineers, Rigging Supervisors and site teams.
**Key Responsibilities**
* Develop detailed **lifting and rigging plans primarily for pipe spool lifting and installation**.
* Prepare lifting drawings based on spool drawings, weight, dimensions, Centre of Gravity (COG), lifting points and site conditions.
* Determine and illustrate suitable **crane position, lifting radius, boom configuration, lifting points and rigging arrangement**.
* Prepare detailed rigging arrangements showing:
* Slings
* Shackles
* Spreader/lifting beams
* Hooks
* Tag lines
* Lifting lugs
* Other required lifting accessories
* Develop **pipe spool lifting, shifting, positioning and installation arrangements**.
* Prepare plans for lifting spools from trailers/storage areas and positioning them at the installation location.
* Prepare lifting plans considering **restricted areas, access limitations, existing structures, equipment and nearby facilities**.
* Develop **step\-by\-step lifting sequence drawings** where required.
* Review spool fabrication/isometric drawings and extract relevant dimensions, weights and lifting information.
* Identify practical lifting points and rigging configurations in coordination with the Lifting Engineer/Appointed Person.
* Prepare crane layout drawings showing **crane location, load location, lifting radius, swing area and exclusion zones**.
* Revise lifting drawings based on site conditions and comments from the Lifting Engineer, Construction Team and Client.
* Coordinate closely with **Lifting Engineers, Rigging Supervisors, Construction Engineers and Site Supervisors**.
* Ensure all lifting drawings are clear, properly scaled, technically accurate and suitable for site execution.
* Prepare drawings supporting **Method Statements, Risk Assessments and Lifting Plans**.
* Visit site when required to verify actual dimensions, access conditions and lifting arrangements.
* Maintain proper revision control and update drawings according to approved changes.
**Essential Technical Capability**
The candidate should be able to independently develop a lifting plan by understanding:
**Pipe Spool Drawing → Weight \& COG → Lifting Points → Crane Selection/Position → Lifting Radius → Rigging Arrangement → Crane Capacity → Clearance → Lifting Sequence → Final Installation Position**
The candidate must have **practical understanding of how a pipe spool will actually be lifted and installed**, not only the ability to prepare drawings in AutoCAD.
Required Skills \& Experience
* Minimum **3–5 years of relevant experience** in lifting/rigging drafting.
* Strong experience in **pipe spool lifting and installation activities**.
* Excellent knowledge of **AutoCAD 2D**.
* Ability to read **P\&ID, piping isometric drawings, GA drawings and spool drawings**.
* Good understanding of pipe spool dimensions, weights, COG and lifting points.
* Knowledge of cranes, crane load charts and lifting accessories.
* Ability to prepare practical crane and rigging arrangements.
* Experience in **Oil \& Gas, Petrochemical, EPC, Shutdown/Turnaround or Heavy Industrial projects** preferred.
* Qatar/GCC project experience is preferred.
* Knowledge of applicable lifting and rigging standards and client requirements.
* Ability to coordinate with engineering and site teams independently.
