MEP Drafter/Designer

Why Join ELEN?

ELEN Consulting, Inc. is a San Diego-based MEP engineering firm delivering mechanical and electrical designs across federal/military, commercial, civic, education, and industrial projects throughout California. We're looking for a Drafter/Designer who is ready to take ownership of their drawings and grow within a firm that invests in its people.

At ELEN, you'll work directly alongside licensed PEs and firm leadership on projects that carry real technical and professional weight. This is a hands-on role. We value team members who take their craft seriously, communicate openly, and want to build something over the course of their career rather than just fill a seat.

• Medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage

• PTO that grows with your tenure

• Performance-based cash bonuses

• Regular staff social events and team-building activities

• Professional development and continuous learning through mentorship and industry exposure

• Career advancement paths aligned with your long-term goals

What You'll Do

You'll be producing mechanical and electrical drawings on active projects from concept through construction documents across a broad range of building types and client sectors. Responsibilities include preparing and revising Revit models and AutoCAD drawings, drafting ductwork and piping layouts, electrical one-lines and panel schedules, and equipment layouts under the direction of project engineers. You'll coordinate drawings with architectural and other engineering disciplines, mark up and redline sets in Bluebeam, and support specification and construction document preparation. You'll be expected to communicate clearly with project team members and proactively flag coordination issues as they arise.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Associate's degree or trade/technical certificate in drafting, design technology, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on drafting experience)

• At least 2 years of drafting/design experience in the MEP industry (mechanical, electrical, or both)

• Working proficiency in Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD

• Proficiency in Bluebeam Revu

• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow office drafting standards

• Comfortable coordinating drawings across mechanical, electrical, and architectural disciplines

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to California Title 24 or Energy Code documentation

• Familiarity with federal and military project delivery, including UFCs and UFGS

• Background in civic, institutional, or industrial project types
