Autocad Designer

A growing specialty trade contractor in the Pasadena area is looking for a CAD Designer to join its project team. This is a unique opportunity to move beyond traditional drafting and become involved in the design of complex equipment systems and the mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic assemblies that support them. You’ll develop detailed layouts, coordinate equipment and utilities within the overall space, and see your designs progress from concept and construction documents through installation.

This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented designer who enjoys working as part of a comprehensive team and wants to continue developing their technical design skills in a specialized industry.

• Develop detailed 2D AutoCAD drawings and construction documents for specialized equipment systems.
• Create comprehensive layouts showing equipment locations, utilities, work areas, and supporting systems.
• Design and coordinate mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic connections associated with equipment installations.
• Incorporate equipment dimensions, clearances, access requirements, and operational considerations into layouts.
• Work closely with project managers, engineers, field personnel, and other members of the project team.
• Review construction plans and coordinate designs with existing building conditions and other trades.
• Prepare drawings and documentation for permitting and plan review.
• Make revisions based on project requirements, field conditions, and plan-check comments.
• Maintain accurate drawing files, dimensions, specifications, and project documentation.
• Continue developing knowledge of specialized equipment, construction practices, and design standards.

• Solid foundation in AutoCAD and computer-aided drafting/design.
• Construction, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, MEP, or other specialty-trade experience is highly preferred.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to visualize equipment and systems within a physical space.
• Ability to read and interpret construction plans and technical drawings.
• Strong communication and organizational skills.
• Comfortable working collaboratively in a project-driven environment.
