Jobbeschreibung

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Design Drafter III to support multi-phase engineering and drafting projects. In this role, you will take ownership of the drafting lifecycle, from initial technical research and scratch-built schematics to redline revisions and production documentation.

The ideal candidate brings strong hands-on proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical, proven experience interpreting as-built drawings, and the field-ready ability to inspect physical electrical control panels and produce complete, accurate schematics from scratch.

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical & CAD Drafting: Review physical electrical control panels and develop detailed wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and schematics from scratch using AutoCAD Electrical.


• As-Built & Redline Execution: Read, evaluate, and update as-built drawings and implement engineering redlines across multiple active project deadlines.


• Engineering Collaboration: Partner directly with engineers and architects to gather structural/system requirements, clarify rough sketches, and establish production workflows.


• Technical Calculations: Calculate dimensions, tolerances, material requirements, and weight limitations to ensure design integrity and regulatory compliance.


• Process Documentation: Outline step-by-step production methods (specifying required equipment and software) and draft operational and maintenance manuals.


• Design Optimization: Identify potential operational or manufacturing bottlenecks during the drafting phase and propose functional redesigns.

Qualifications & Requirements

Must-Have Qualifications:

• AutoCAD Electrical: Demonstrated professional expertise using AutoCAD Electrical for production-ready design packages.


• Control Panel Drafting: Proven capability to assess an electrical control panel in person and generate complete drawings from scratch.


• As-Built Proficiency: Deep familiarity with reading, interpreting, and revising complex as-built schematics.


• Education & Experience:


• High School Diploma with at least 5+ years of dedicated drafting experience, OR


• Graduate of an accredited drafting trade school / technical degree program.

Nice-to-Have / Preferred:

• Certification from the American Design Drafting Association (ADDA).


• Hands-on familiarity with 3D modeling tools (e.g., Inventor, SolidWorks).


• Prior experience in industrial automation, controls manufacturing, or MEP environments.
