• Work with project managers and production staff to clarify dimensions, materials, construction details, and machining requirements.
• Identify missing information or conflicting details and resolve questions before drawings move into production.
• Revise drawings as projects progress, maintaining organized project folders, current files, and clear revision histories.
• Create and maintain standard construction details for use across projects.

What You’ll Bring

• At least three years of drafting experience.
• Experience with Cabinet Vision or a comparable cabinet and millwork drafting program.
• Experience using Cabinet Vision (or similar program) for screen-to-machine software to prepare work for CNC production.

• Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, blueprints, and specifications.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain accurate, organized project files.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Experience That’s a Plus
