Now - about the software that you can use. You do! You absolutely do! And you should start learning it ASAP! Please, never think that if you work in a shop with spanners and hammers, you don't need all that "engineers-only" schematics stuff. We've billed thousands of €€€ for elaborating accurate hydraulic diagrams for systems that don't have them (for various historical reasons). This is a monetizable skill on its own, by the way. You can (and should!) very easily create and use your own reusable hydraulic symbols in any standard 2D drafting program, and the sooner you learn and realize how incredibly easy this is once you have gotten the hang of it - the better! I often see that young techs seem to believe that schematic drawing software needs to have an extensive library of hydraulic symbols to be efficient. And if you are worried about the price of such a software package, don't be - you'll see why in a minute. I am absolutely convinced that you should first learn how to make hydraulic diagrams using a standard 2D CAD drafting software, preferably one of the numerous AutoCAD almost-clones. My opinion about this is very strong, and it is backed not only by my experience but by the experiences of other techs who were "converted" by my schematic-making incentives: the likes of HydroSym, ConceptDraw, FluidDraw, and SmartDraw, maybe you'll be tempted to give the SUN's QuickDesign a try, or maybe look into the Rexroth's Scheme Editor, or maybe some other piece of specialized software that will come about as I am writing this post. If you google "software for drawing hydraulic diagrams", you will find many specialized programs, i.e. The only question is - what software should you, as a new tech, use? There seem to be quite a few options out there.
