The role of Structural Design Team is to ensure the structure design withstand stresses and pressure imposed through environmental and human use without any deflect, rotate, vibrate excessively or collapse. The Team is also expected to prepare reports and work with architects, urban planners and other professionals.
A structural drafter works off of design guidelines, measurements and calculations, which are typically set by an engineer. Drafters complete the design by finishing all details and adding or deleting necessary components. They may serve as a liaison between engineers and construction workers on certain projects.
