This is physical, in-person work with real objects, tools, equipment and places that change from day to day. AI can't do it for you.
Part of Develop models of systems, processes, or products, under the O*NET work activity group Drafting, Laying Out, and Specifying Technical Devices, Parts, and Equipment. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (0 AI-ready, 0 AI-assist, 10 stays human).
