AutoCAD Drafter / Designer

This role supports the Facilities team by developing, updating, and maintaining accurate facility as-built drawings through a combination of field verification, measurement, and documentation of existing conditions. The AutoCAD Drafter / Designer works hands-on in active manufacturing and industrial environments to ensure that drawings and documentation reliably reflect current building layouts, utilities, equipment, and infrastructure. The position closely supports Facilities and Engineering teams by providing precise documentation for space planning, facility modifications, maintenance planning, and capital improvement projects.

• Develop, update, and maintain facility as-built drawings using AutoCAD in accordance with established standards.
• Perform on-site field verification of existing buildings, utilities, equipment layouts, and infrastructure to confirm current conditions.
• Take accurate field measurements and thoroughly document pre-existing conditions across the facility.
• Translate field notes, sketches, and observations into clear, accurate, and well-organized CAD drawings.
• Verify existing drawings against actual site conditions, identify discrepancies, and update drawings to correct and reflect true conditions.
• Support Facilities and Engineering teams by providing reliable documentation for space planning, facility modifications, maintenance planning, and capital improvement projects.
• Maintain drawing organization, layering standards, and revision control to ensure drawings are current, traceable, and easy to access.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders, including Facilities and Engineering, to validate information and resolve questions about existing conditions.
• Adhere to site safety policies and procedures when working in operational industrial and manufacturing environments.
• Manage multiple drawing updates and assignments simultaneously while meeting deadlines in a demanding environment.
• Apply drafting techniques, principles, and practices to produce clear assemblies, sub-assemblies, and detail drawings suitable for fabrication.
• Incorporate basic weld symbols and mechanical details into drawings as required.
• Review and revise mechanical, architectural, and structural drawings to maintain accuracy and consistency.
• Use Autodesk Inventor and other drafting tools, where applicable, to support mechanical design and mechanical drafting tasks.
• Maintain meticulous documentation and records of drawing revisions and updates.

• Proven experience as an AutoCAD Drafter, ideally supporting facilities, industrial, or manufacturing environments.
• Strong proficiency with AutoCAD (2D), including experience creating and updating as-built drawings.
• Knowledge of drafting techniques, principles, and practices applied to mechanical, architectural, and structural drawings.
• Demonstrated ability to perform on-site field verification and measurement in active industrial or manufacturing environments.
• Ability to accurately translate field notes, sketches, and observations into precise CAD drawings.
• Solid understanding of building layouts and architectural and basic MEP elements, including walls, doors, utilities, and equipment layouts.
• Ability to visualize and effectively lay out assemblies, sub-assemblies, and details for fabrication.
• Basic understanding of weld symbols and their application in mechanical and structural drawings.
• High level of organization and attention to detail, with a strong focus on documentation accuracy and revision control.
• Effective written communication skills for documenting conditions and changes clearly.
• Effective interpersonal and verbal communication skills to collaborate with Facilities, Engineering, and other stakeholders.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to proactively handle multiple assignments in a demanding environment.
• Ability to work independently in the field and manage multiple drawing updates with minimal supervision.
• General knowledge of manufacturing, production, and industrial environments.

• Experience working specifically with as-built drawings in facilities or industrial settings.
• Experience with document revision processes and maintaining consistent drawing standards and layering conventions.
• Familiarity with mechanical design and mechanical drafting practices.
• Experience using Autodesk Inventor or similar CAD tools to support mechanical design work.
• Exposure to or experience with architectural drawings, structural…
