Job Description

Step into a pivotal drafting role with a company that delivers complex mechanical, architectural, structural, and piping projects across diverse industries. This is an opportunity to apply your AutoCAD expertise and technical drawing skills on challenging contracts where accuracy, coordination, and constructability truly matter.

About the Role:

As a Contract Drafter, you will produce high-quality drawings and detailed layouts that support the design, engineering, and construction of mechanical, architectural, structural, and piping systems. You will translate design concepts and specifications into clear, accurate contract documents that can be built in the field. Your work will directly support project timelines, cost control, and compliance with industry and client standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare detailed 2D and 3D drawings and models in AutoCAD for mechanical, architectural, structural, and piping projects.
• Develop and update contract drawings, plans, sections, and details based on design inputs, markups, and field information.
• Interpret blueprints, specifications, and engineering sketches to create accurate and coordinated drafting deliverables.
• Produce mechanical and architectural detailing, including layouts, assemblies, and connection details for fabrication and construction.
• Draft structural layouts and details, including framing plans, foundations, supports, and related components.
• Create piping layouts, isometrics, and general arrangement drawings, ensuring proper routing, clearances, and coordination with other disciplines.
• Perform drawing checks, self-review, and revisions to maintain consistency with company standards and project requirements.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and project managers to resolve design conflicts and incorporate design changes into the drawings.

Key Requirements:

• Proven experience as a Drafter, CAD Technician, or similar role within mechanical, architectural, structural, or piping design environments.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD for technical drawing and drafting.
• Strong ability to read, interpret, and work from blueprints, specifications, and engineering documents.
• Demonstrated experience producing detailed mechanical and architectural drawings for construction or fabrication.
• Hands-on experience drafting structural layouts and details for building or industrial projects.
• Practical experience with piping layout and design drafting, including coordination with other building systems.
• High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy, clarity, and completeness of drawings.
• Ability to manage multiple drafting assignments, meet deadlines, and adapt to changing project priorities.

Desirable Skills:

• Familiarity with 3D modeling tools in addition to AutoCAD (e.g., AutoCAD 3D, Plant 3D, or similar).
• Experience working on industrial, energy, or large commercial projects.
• Knowledge of relevant industry codes, standards, and drafting practices.
• Exposure to BIM workflows and coordination with other digital design tools.
• Prior experience in a contract or project-based drafting environment.

Qualifications:

• Associate degree or diploma in Drafting, CAD Technology, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• Formal training or certification in AutoCAD or equivalent CAD software.
• Additional coursework or certification in mechanical, architectural, structural, or piping design is preferred.
• A portfolio or sample set of technical drawings demonstrating drafting capability is advantageous.
