• Prepare drawing packages for inspections, turnarounds, audits, or engineering analysis.
• Participate in the continuous improvement of drafting procedures, templates, and CAD standards.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting inspection, mechanical integrity, or QA/QC programs in the field or fabrication environments.
• Familiarity with 3D modeling tools such as AutoCAD Plant 3D, Navisworks, or SolidWorks.
• Knowledge of inspection terminology and documentation requirements (TMLs, CMLs, weld IDs, damage maps).
• Background in working with inspectors, engineers, or NDT personnel.
• Experience working with cloud‑based drawing storage or inspection data management systems.

Required Qualifications

• High School Diploma or GED (technical drafting coursework or certificate preferred).
• 2+ years of experience in CAD drafting, preferably within industrial, inspection, or mechanical design contexts.

• Strong understanding of piping systems, equipment symbols, and mechanical terminology.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, ISO drawings, inspection reports, and field markups.
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and file management practices.
• Ability to pass background checks, DISA, TWIC, and pre‑employment drug/alcohol screening.
• Strong work ethic with a safety‑first mindset.
