release timing
■ Participate in three daily check-ins (7:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 4:30 PM) to report work in progress,
blockers, and ready jobs
■ Ensure all horizontal members, rails, and transoms are dimensioned from finished floor with
proper sight-line flags
■ Release completed drawings to Fabrication with manager sign-off and verify critical
dimensions
■ Maintain drawing standards for pre-hung, leveled, and squared door units
■ Support continuous improvement of drawing templates, standards, and turnaround speed
Qualifications

architectural products
■ Proficiency in AutoCAD or equivalent 2D/3D CAD software
■ Ability to read and create detailed mechanical/manufacturing drawings with accurate
dimensions and tolerances

■ Strong attention to detail with the ability to catch dimension errors before drawings reach the
floor
■ Ability to work in a fast-paced production environment with daily throughput targets
■ Self-motivated with strong time management and the ability to manage multiple jobs
simultaneously
■ High school diploma or equivalent required; technical drafting certification or associate
degree preferred
