This role offers a direct impact on the construction process—collaborating with engineers, fabricators, and erectors to bring projects from concept to completion.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in technical drafting, values accuracy, and enjoys solving complex steel detailing challenges in a collaborative, design-build environment.

We’re a professional yet close-knit team that prioritizes clarity, quality, and long-term growth. If you’re organized, strong-willed, and committed to precision, this could be your next step.

Associate’s degree in Engineering (minimum); Bachelor’s preferred
Proficiency in AutoCAD drafting
Familiarity with MS Word and Excel
Strong communication skills and ability to work in a team environment
Ability to interpret contract documents and resolve framing situations

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with SDS/2 or other 3D drafting software
Background in detailing CMU, foundations, and metal stud systems alongside steel framing
Problem-solving ability to address complex structural detailing issues
Organized, clear communicator with a professional presence

Key Responsibilities

Prepare accurate shop drawings and steel framing plans for commercial projects
Detail steel framing components with structural accuracy and constructability in mind
Collaborate with engineers, project managers, fabricators, and erectors to ensure coordinated results
Develop solutions within a design-build environment to support real-world construction
Create structural plans for foundations, CMU, and related components in conjunction with steel framing
Participate in team reviews to uphold detailing standards and project deadlines

What Makes This Role Stand Out

Career Growth: Direct involvement in the design-build process with advancement potential
Impactful Work: Your drawings will directly guide fabrication and erection in the field
Stability: Consistent project pipeline and strong client relationships
Benefits Package: 401(k), medical, vision, and life insurance coverage
Collaborative Team: Work alongside experienced engineers and detailers who value professionalism and execution
