What do we Need?

We are anticipating adding to our team in the near future. We’re looking for Controls Systems Drafter/Designer candidates who are ready to learn, contribute, and build a strong foundation in electrical design using AutoCAD Electrical (ACADe). We have the flexibility to offer work to someone early in their career who wants hands‑on experience, mentorship, and real professional growth, or an experienced individual who can make an immediate contribution to the range of projects in our design portfolio.
