This role works closely with project managers, engineers, shop personnel, and field crews to transform concepts and specifications into clear, buildable designs that meet customer requirements and company quality standards.

What You'll Build

• Create, revise, and maintain detailed 2D and 3D drawings using AutoCAD and Revit
• Develop fabrication, assembly, and installation drawings for industrial and commercial projects
• Interpret engineering specifications, customer requirements, sketches, and field measurements to produce accurate drawings
• Generate bills of materials, material take-offs, and drawing packages for production and procurement
• Develop and maintain 3D models for structural steel, mechanical systems, equipment layouts, and fabrication assemblies
• Coordinate designs with engineers, project managers, and fabrication teams to ensure constructability and manufacturability
• Incorporate design revisions, field changes, and customer feedback into project models and drawings
• Assist in clash detection and design coordination to minimize fabrication and installation issues
• Collaborate with shop supervisors and production personnel to ensure drawings accurately reflect fabrication requirements
• Provide technical drawing support during manufacturing and installation activities and respond to requests for revisions and clarification throughout project execution
• Assist with field verification and as-built documentation when required
• Maintain organized project files, drawing revisions, and documentation in accordance with company standards; ensure proper version control and distribution of approved drawings
• Archive completed project files and maintain historical records for future reference
• Review drawings for dimensional accuracy, completeness, and compliance with project specifications
• Verify that drawings align with fabrication capabilities, industry standards, and safety requirements
• Identify and resolve design conflicts before drawings are released to production

Your Foundation

• Associate degree in Drafting, Engineering Technology, CAD Technology, or a related field — or equivalent work experience
