We are seeking a detail-oriented and hands‑on Marine Drafter / Engineering Support Technician to support our Holland production operations. This role bridges engineering design and production, providing CAD-based visual aids, dimensioned drawings, and tooling support that help translate design intent into efficient, high‑quality production execution.
The ideal candidate will have strong CAD skills (Rhino), a good understanding of marine construction, and the ability to collaborate closely with production, engineering, and quality teams. This position offers a unique opportunity to learn our processes firsthand—spending the first three months on the production floor before transitioning fully into the drafting and support role—to ensure a deep understanding of our workflows, materials, and standards.
Key Responsibilities- Develop 2D and 3D CAD drawings using Rhino and AutoCAD to support marine production projects.
- Create visuals, layouts, and dimensioned drawings to aid production teams in understanding complex assemblies.

- Support 3D tooling and fixture development on flat tables for production.
- Ensure all drawings meet company and industry quality, safety, and accuracy standards.
- Work closely with the Quality Management System (QMS) team, assisting in documentation organization and continuous improvement efforts.
- Revise and update designs based on feedback from engineering and shop floor teams.
- Configure CAD files to “built drawings” for bill of materials.
- Prepare bills of materials and assist with process documentation and standardization.
- Support the ongoing development of company drafting standards and best practices.
- Spend approximately three months on the production floor learning company processes, construction methods, and quality standards before transitioning into the primary drafting/support role.
- Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Drafting, Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture, Industrial Design, or a related field.
- Proven proficiency in Rhino and familiarity with AutoCAD or other 3D CAD tools.
- Understanding of drafting techniques, manufacturing methods, and marine construction practices.
- Strong visual communication and spatial reasoning skills.
- Ability to interpret and create accurate technical drawings and documentation.
- High attention to detail and organizational skills.
- Collaborative mindset with strong communication skills to interface with engineering, production, and quality teams.
- Experience in the marine and composite boat building/manufacturing industry.
- Exposure to QMS systems and process documentation.
- Familiarity with 3D modeling, tooling, and fixture design.
