About the role

As a CAD Operator, you will play a central role in transforming conceptual ideas into accurate, production-ready technical drawings. Beyond drafting, you will coordinate production workflows and consult directly with clients on buildability and material estimates to ensure seamless project execution.

Key responsibilities

• Create detailed 2D/3D technical drawings, shop drawings, and cut sheets for metal fabrication and structural projects.
• Update and maintain standard design libraries and drawing revisions.
• Work closely with shop floor supervisors and fabricators to ensure drawing specifications match production capabilities.
• Track project timelines and assist in routing jobs through cutting, bending, welding, and assembly stages.
• Review client inquiries and initial designs to assess buildability and offer practical manufacturing solutions.
• Generate accurate Bills of Quantities (BOQ) and material takeoff sheets to assist the estimating team with accurate pricing and raw material procurement.

About you

• 2+ years of experience in CAD drafting within metalworking, structural steel, or custom fabrication environments.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar 2D/3D CAD software.
• Strong understanding of metal fabrication processes (e.g., laser cutting, press brake bending, welding).
• Ability to accurately read and interpret architectural and engineering blueprints.
• Strong communication skills for client-facing discussions and cross-departmental coordination.
• Solid grasp of material properties, tolerances, and structural feasibility.
• High attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
