  • Interpret redlines, sketches, and markups to ensure revisions are accurately incorporated.
  • Maintain drawing control, document revisions, and enforce version management standards.
  • Support the development and continuous improvement of internal drafting / checking processes, templates, and standards.
  • Ensure final drawing packages are suitable for shop fabrication, vendor review, and field installation.

Required Qualifications :

  • 8+ years of detailing and checking experience with a strong focus on steel and metal structures. Poles, telecommunications, power, and utility structures desired.
  • Associate degree or technical diploma in Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
  • Proficiency in Solidworks and drawing management systems.
  • Strong working knowledge of structural steel design, metal fabrication methods, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Familiarity with relevant structural standards (e.g., AISC, AWS) and shop detailing practices.
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to identify inconsistencies, errors, or missing information in drawings.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
  • Benefits : PTO, Medical / Dental / Vision benefits, Life Insurance, and Short Term / Long Term disability insurance.
