AutoCAD/Drafter

AutoCAD Drafters work daily on client projects, to ensure that our drawings are accurate, adhere to our manufacturing standards, and meet client design expectations. While the role is largely independent, we coordinate regularly with our Project Management (PM) and Sales/Estimating teams during set up and continued development of each project. This is a foundational role. Drafters learn the framework of our products and processes with the goal of advancing into client facing teams such as Project Management, Sales, Client Solutions or R&D roles such as Product Development.
