About
I am writing to express my strong interest in the Senior AutoCAD Draftsman / Architectural Designer position at your esteemed firm. With 24 years of robust experience in architectural drafting, computer-aided design, and technical project management, I have a proven track record of transforming high-level conceptual sketches into precise, field-ready execution plans.
Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered monumental commercial, residential, and institutional infrastructure projects across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Africa, and Pakistan. Most recently, as a Senior Draftsman for Shafa Al Nahdah Building Contracting LLC, I have been orchestrating the interior finishing design phases for the landmark Westin Addis Hotel by Marriott in Ethiopia. This role requires absolute compliance with international design benchmarks and the generation of flawless 2D shop drawings engineered for immediate on-site execution.
My technical portfolio spans high-profile global assets, including the Qatar University Metro Station (Red Line) in Doha, the Galleria Commercial Center in Jeddah, and the King Faisal University in Al-Hofuf. These large-scale projects have refined my capability to engineer intricate facade components—such as Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) cladding systems—while strictly accounting for complex thermal movements, wind load conditions, and structural deflections. Additionally, my deep familiarity with the United States National CAD Standards (USNCS) ensures structural and municipal code compliance across all documentation.
I pride myself on being an organized, critical thinker who thrives in cross-functional engineering environments. By seamlessly collaborating with structural engineers, interior designers, and site contractors, I specialize in eliminating on-site deviations, saving both time and project costs.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my global infrastructure exposure and technical drafting mastery can contribute to the success of your upcoming projects. My portfolio is attached for your review.
Sincerely,
Kamran Shahzad
