Role / Responsibility

[Srinivas]

Dear all,

I would like to know what is the Role/Responsibility of CAD Manager in a firm.

I never came across such a kind of Designation in many of the firms i've visited here in India.

Thanks in advance.

Srinivas.

Sure, but what's important is that person has a very good understanding of both the software and the profession (architecture, engineering,...) and of course organization and managerial skills.

IME, this role is, simply stated, 'Let not the deficiencies of the software or the users make fools of the firm' - as the minimum, and maximum 'Enable the delivery of Documents that Excelleth in both quality and completeness, such that consultants, partners and clients are consistently blown away by the results and the efficient and timely manner in which they were delivered.' In otherwords, fix broken projects, and perfect good ones.

Must posess keen troubleshooting knowledge - bordering on supersensibility 😉

I think your confusing the "expectations" of a CAD Manager with the "role/responsibility"

The one thing missing from Tom's job brief were the relevant preffesional skills.

I wondered why.

It is essential.

As he so well shows.
