Drafter

An established manufacturer of engineered steel storage systems used in water, wastewater, agriculture, and industrial markets is adding an AutoCAD Drafter / Detailer to its drafting group. You will turn incoming orders into customer approval drawings and build-ready manufacturing drawings, and grow into solid modeling and drafting automation. Strong AutoCAD hands and real mechanical aptitude matter more here than pedigree, and there is a clear path toward Inventor and automation work.
