Fabrication / Installation Packages
- Create contractor-ready packages for installation, quotation, procurement, fabrication, construction, and bidding.
- Define equipment locations, tie-in points, utility routing, dimensions, elevations, access clearances, interfaces, and installation constraints.
- Support assembly drawings, fabrication drawings, Bills of Material, parts lists, and vendor/contractor drawing packages.
Field Verification / As-Built Control
- Incorporate engineer markups, contractor redlines, field verification results, and as-built updates.
- Verify field conditions when existing drawings do not match actual conditions.
- Identify layout, constructability, access, maintainability, safety, and production-flow concerns.
Coordination / Document Control
- Coordinate drawing/model updates with PE, ES, Production, Maintenance, Safety, vendors, and contractors.
- Maintain CAD files, drawing registers, revisions, document-control records, and release workflows.
- Support production and installation teams through drawing updates, issue resolution, field walkdowns, and status reporting.
Qualifications/ What you bring (Must Haves):
Education / Experience
- Associate degree, technical certification, CAD/drafting certificate, or equivalent practical experience.
- 7+ years of CAD experience in industrial, manufacturing, construction, facility, or equipment installation environments.
Required CAD Tools
