About Alpha Granite

Alpha Granite has been Central Texas's trusted countertop fabrication and installation company since 2003. As an Accredited Natural Stone Company through the Natural Stone Institute, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and shop safety. We're not a big-box or high-volume production shop — we specialize in high-end residential and commercial work, the small, custom, intricate projects that other fabricators won't touch. Our material mix is increasingly premium natural stone like quartzite, alongside quartz and granite.

Our shop runs modern GMM and CMS equipment, including 5-axis and single-table CNC saws, a waterjet, multiple CNC machines, edge and face polishers, and Slabsmith for slab scanning and inventory. We run a fully wet shop and take dust control, masks, and safety compliance seriously — it's a core part of how we operate.

About the Role

We're hiring a CAD Drafter / CAM Programmer to take jobs from field templates all the way through fabrication-ready output. You'll convert templating files into clean customer and shop drawings, build the layouts our sales team uses for customer review, and program the machines once layouts are approved. This is a hands-on, technical role at the center of production — your work directly drives what gets cut, polished, and installed.

We have more than one seat to fill and may hire multiple people, so candidates at different experience levels are encouraged to apply.

What You'll Do

• Convert DWG files from templating into customer and shop versions (DWG/DXF)
• Build layout files for customer review and coordinate revisions with the sales team
• Drop in sinks, edges, and faucet holes with correct profiles, radii, and tolerances
• Add assembly, fabrication, and install notes; incorporate redlines and revisions
• Adjust overhangs and backsplashes; apply material thickness and machine tolerances for accurate takeoffs
• Program approved layouts for fabrication (CAM)
• Produce 3D models and renderings as needed
• Collaborate with project managers, templaters, and installers to catch and resolve issues early

What You Bring

• Significant experience with CAD/CAM software — strong candidates will know several of: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Fusion 360, AlphaCAM, Easy Stone, or Slabsmith
• Ability to read architectural drawings and translate field templates into fabrication-ready output
• Stone countertop experience is a plus but not required — we're open to skilled drafters and programmers from adjacent fabrication or millwork backgrounds
• Strong organization and version-control habits; comfort managing multiple jobs in a fast-paced environment
• A professional, presentable approach to a customer-facing, team-oriented shop
• Bilingual English/Spanish is a strong plus for daily coordination with fabrication and install teams
• Portfolio required — please include 2 to 3 sample shop drawings or layouts with brief context
