Job Summary

We’re hiring a CAD Designer/Drafter to develop 3D models and detailed fabrication drawings used to manufacture custom commercial kitchen equipment and conveyor systems. This role is ideal for someone who is creative, self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a collaborative, team-based environment.

________________________________________

What Makes This Role Different

• Design work that becomes real equipment: You’ll create 3D models and fabrication drawings for custom commercial kitchen equipment and conveyors that are built in our shop and installed in the field.
• Variety every week: This is not repetitive drafting; each project is unique, with different layouts, constraints, and customer requirements.
• Collaborative, hands-on environment: Work closely with our in-house design team and fabrication shop (sheet metal, welding, press brake) to produce shop-ready drawings that work the first time.
• Stable company with a strong reputation: Servco has been serving the St. Louis market since 1947 with a steady pipeline of institutional and commercial projects.
• Opportunity to grow your skillset: Strengthen your drafting and manufacturing knowledge while learning what makes designs efficient to fabricate and reliable to install.
