Using AutoCAD and Inventor, you will translate engineering and customer inputs into accurate fabrication drawings and bills of materials, supporting projects that keep essential facilities online and operational.

Responsibilities

* Create clear and accurate 2D and 3D drawings for skids, bases, enclosures, fuel systems, cooling systems, exhaust systems, and wiring layouts using established company CAD standards.

* Translate engineer and customer inputs into complete, build-ready fabrication drawings and detailed bills of materials (BOMs).

* Collaborate closely with Project Management, Engineering, Supply Chain, and the fabrication shop to resolve design questions and ensure drawings are production-ready.

* Maintain current and accurate drawing sets by applying redlines, revisions, and as-built updates in a timely manner.

* Organize, maintain, and control drawing files and versions to ensure proper documentation and traceability.

* Use Microsoft Office tools to support documentation, reporting, and communication related to design and drafting activities.

* Work efficiently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment while maintaining high standards of quality and detail.

* Communicate clearly with internal stakeholders to clarify requirements, address issues, and support smooth project execution.

* Adhere to all safety protocols and use appropriate personal protective equipment when working on manufacturing floors or job sites.

* Remain flexible to work varying schedules and hours as needed to support project timelines and customer commitments.

* Participate in occasional travel as required to support project or site needs.

Essential Skills

* At least 2 years of experience using Inventor and AutoCAD in a manufacturing environment.
