A draftsperson works in certain industries that require the use of technical drawings to complete and produce a product. For instance, one draftsperson may create schematics for mechanical toys while another assembles designs for airplanes. Depending on the preference of the employer, the duties of a draftsperson may vary between work opportunities, however, most drafting positions involve:
- Generating 2D drawings or 3D models of architectural, engineering or manufacturing designs by using CAD or similar software
- Calculating the dimensions and other physical components of the design to ensure the technical drawing has the correct scale
- Archiving building schematics to use and reference in the future
- Coordinating with other construction team professionals to discuss the product requirements necessary to complete technical drawings and negotiate changes
- Creating charts and layouts that show the workflow plan for a construction project, including what materials, building tools and computer software they instruct the team to use
- Improving the functionality of an existing building or product
- Designing manuals to describe the features, upkeep procedures and operational instructions of a completed product

A draftsperson who works in a particular industry may also perform specialized tasks. Here is a list of some industry-specific drafters and the type of work they do:
- Architectural: Create schematics using architectural designs for the construction of residential or commercial buildings. These builders also may merge other structural elements into the drawing, like engineering items.
- Aeronautical drafters: Compile technical drawings for the creation and production of airplanes, mechanical projectiles and similar products.
- Civil engineering drafters: Assemble construction drawings and terrain layouts to use in public infrastructure projects, including bridges, sewage systems and highways.
- Electrical drafters: Draw layout plans for construction workers who install electrical wiring and other equipment in buildings or electrical power systems.
- Electronics drafters: Prepare the wiring and circuit schematics needed to create or repair smaller components of electrical equipment.
- Mechanical drafters: Create construction plans for machines and other mechanical equipment, including how to affix each part in the correct location.
- Fuel pipeline drafters: Determine the layout and construction protocols of piping systems in chemical plants, oil refineries and other locations that require fuel-based pipe.
- Set designer drafters: Provide schematics and models so production teams and departments can construct film or theater sets.
