This position is ideal for someone who combines strong CAD skills with practical thinking - someone who doesn't just create a drawing but considers how the piece will actually be built, assembled, and installed.
Experience in architectural millwork, cabinetry, casework, or woodworking is highly , but we are willing to train the right CAD professional in millwork. If you are proficient in CAD, have strong mechanical aptitude, and enjoy figuring out how things fit together, we want to hear from you.

• Detail dimensions, materials, hardware, fastening methods, clearances, assemblies, and installation requirements.
• Review architectural drawings, specifications, redlines, and field information to identify conflicts or missing details.
• Revise drawings based on project changes, internal reviews, field conditions, and production feedback.
• Check drawings for dimensional accuracy, fit, tolerances, and constructability before release.
• Work closely with Project Managers, Production, Purchasing, and other team members to resolve technical questions.
• Support the development of as-built drawings and project documentation.

• Good mechanical and spatial reasoning - the ability to visualize how individual parts become a finished assembly.
• Exceptional attention to detail and drawing accuracy.
• Strong problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate effectively with Project Management and Production teams.
• Willingness to learn new materials, construction methods, hardware, and manufacturing processes.

Millwork Experience is a Plus - CAD Ability Is Essential !

• Metal or custom fabrication
• Machine shops
• Construction
• Furniture or cabinetry manufacturing
• Other custom-production environments

If you're a strong CAD drafter who understands how things are made, we can teach you millwork.

• Associate degree or technical certificate in drafting, CAD, engineering technology, architecture, or a related discipline .
• Equivalent hands-on drafting experience will also be considered.
• 2-3 years of professional CAD drafting experience .
• Architectural millwork experience is highly desirable but not required for a candidate with strong CAD proficiency and mechanical aptitude.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

• Your drawings don't end on the computer screen
• As a Millwork CAD Drafter, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with the people who build what you draw, see projects move through production, learn from experienced millwork professionals, and develop a deeper understanding of custom architectural fabrication.

If you already know architectural millwork, we'd love to put that experience to work.

If you're great at CAD and ready to learn millwork, we would like to meet you too.
