Final date to receive applications:
Monday, 10/12/26, 11 am PST.

The Contract or will plan, lay out, prepare, revise, and check engineering drawings manually or using computer-aided design (CAD) software in one or more areas of specialization (architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, or electrical drafting). Work independently from notes, sketches, or general instruction, applying advanced Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and sound modeling/drafting practices. This role is expected to help reduce an existing drawing backlog, mentor less experienced drafters, and serve as a quality checkpoint for drafting deliverables.

• Prepare complex new drawings and perform drawing changes consistent with company and nationally recognized procedures and standards. This will include 2D line work and 3D modeling.
• Assist in the determination of drawing elements i.e., dimensions, part/component selection, tolerance, and design and process parameters. Evaluate design input from project engineers working with design engineers.
• Make required mathematical calculations (i.e., geometric, tolerance stack up calculations).
• Work with design engineers to specify parts, assemblies, and installation.
• May contribute design modification ideas to improve the quality of the product or facilitate construction/fabrication.
• Provide field/as-building documentation support.
• Maintain working proficiency in Creo, AutoCAD, and other modeling software used by the organization; adapt quickly to company-specific CAD standards and PDM/PLM systems.
• Report progress appropriately to project and line management as required.
