We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented AutoCAD Technician who will be responsible for producing accurate, detailed 2D drawings and layouts to support the installation of mounted devices on new and existing structures. This entry-level drafting position plays a critical role in translating design concepts, field data, and technical specifications into clear construction-ready documents that meet company standards, jurisdictional requirements, and project deadlines.
Drafting & Design
- Create detailed 2D drawings for mounted devices (e.g., cameras, sensors, lights) using AutoCAD or comparable CAD software.
- Include dimensions, callouts, notes, and other annotations to support field installation and verification.
- Accurately represent new and existing structural elements in drawings to ensure proper fit, clearances, and safety.
Quality Assurance & Standards Compliance
- Review drawings for completeness, clarity, accuracy, and consistency with internal drafting standards and project specifications.
- Verify that work complies with company procedures, client requirements, and jurisdictional codes or standards.
Interpretation of Technical Inputs
- Read and interpret site plans, field notes, photographs, and markups to accurately place equipment in drawings.
- Consider design specifications, coverage requirements, and sightlines to optimize device placement.
- Collaborate with permitting, solutions engineers, project managers, and field teams to resolve conflicts or clarify design intent.
Plan Revision & Updates
- Revise and update drawings based on feedback from permitting jurisdictions, engineers, project managers, or field verification teams.
- Maintain accurate records of drawing revisions and ensure version control.
Collaboration & Workflow
- Communicate with team members to coordinate deliverables and meet project milestones.
- Provide regular updates to supervisors on project progress and potential drafting-related issues.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of CAD standards and drafting workflows
The Skillset
- High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate degree or CAD certificate preferred.
- 0–2 years of AutoCAD drafting experience in an engineering, construction, or telecommunications environment preferred.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD or similar CAD software (e.g., MicroStation, DraftSight).
- Understanding of 2D drafting fundamentals, dimensioning, and scaling.
- Ability to interpret site plans, technical markups, and engineering drawings.
- Familiarity with drafting standards, layer management, and file organization.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality, accurate work.
- Good communication and collaboration skills with multidisciplinary teams.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize work to meet deadlines.
- Willingness to learn new software, tools, and industry standards.
