Technical Calculations: Calculate dimensions, tolerances, material requirements, and weight limitations to ensure design integrity and regulatory compliance.
Process Documentation: Outline step-by-step production methods (specifying required equipment and software) and draft operational and maintenance manuals.
Design Optimization: Identify potential operational or manufacturing bottlenecks during the drafting phase and propose functional redesigns.

Qualifications & Requirements

Must-Have Qualifications:

AutoCAD Electrical: Demonstrated professional expertise using AutoCAD Electrical for production-ready design packages.
Control Panel Drafting: Proven capability to assess an electrical control panel in person and generate complete drawings from scratch.
As-Built Proficiency: Deep familiarity with reading, interpreting, and revising complex as-built schematics.
Education & Experience:
High School Diploma with at least 5+ years of dedicated drafting experience, OR
Graduate of an accredited drafting trade school / technical degree program.

Nice-to-Have / Preferred:

Certification from the American Design Drafting Association (ADDA).
Hands-on familiarity with 3D modeling tools (e.g., Inventor, SolidWorks).
Prior experience in industrial automation, controls manufacturing, or MEP environments.
