The Drafting Specialist produces and maintains the CAD drawing packages and shop drawings that document integrated security technology systems, including access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, intercom, and related low-voltage systems.

The position works from specifications, site survey notes, sketches, redlines, and design direction to produce accurate, standards-compliant, installation-ready drawing packages, and produces the as-built drawings issued at project closeout.

This position consists of a hybrid work schedule and will require 3 days in our Herndon, VA office and 2 days remote.

All candidates under consideration are required to take a written and practical CAD test.

This position reports to the Drafting Manager and has no direct reports. Work is assigned through the CAD and Design Ticket Request Queue. The Drafting Specialist works closely with Solutions Engineering, Systems Engineering, Project Management, installers, and subcontractors.

• Create and maintain AutoCAD drawing packages and shop drawings for security and low-voltage systems, including legends and general notes, floor plans and device layouts, riser diagrams, one-line diagrams, device and mounting details, closet and equipment rack elevations, load charts, point-to-point and interconnect diagrams, schedules, and supporting detail sheets.
• Translate device markups from Solutions Engineering, site survey notes, specifications, sketches, and design direction into complete drawing packages.
• Apply established drawing standards, including title block conventions, sheet numbering, layering, and the company block and symbol library, and contribute updates to the library as new devices and details are introduced.
• Prepare drawings supporting permit submission and Authority Having Jurisdiction review as required by the project.
• Support BIM coordination using Revit and Navisworks, and review documentation using Bluebeam.

• Update drawings from redlines, field feedback, and approved change orders, and maintain revision control and version history throughout the project.
• Produce as-built drawings from field redlines and Systems Engineering redlines, and issue the completed as-built package to Project Management at closeout.
• Escalate when redlines or field documentation are incomplete, illegible, or contradictory rather than assuming installed conditions.
• Maintain drawing logs, project documentation, and drawing archives so completed packages remain retrievable for future service and project work.
• Reconcile drawing content against the Bill of Materials and project scope, and identify discrepancies in device counts, types, or locations.

• Communicate drawing status, progress, and completion clearly to Project Management and requesting engineers, and communicate proactively when a package will be late, is blocked, or depends on information…
