We are seeking a CAD Drafter to join our production team and create detailed manufacturing
drawings for custom iron entry doors. You will take field measurements, customer-approved
door specifications, and design selections and translate them into precise fabrication drawings
that drive our welding, cutting, and assembly floor. This is a hands-on drafting role in a
fast-paced manufacturing environment where accuracy directly impacts production throughput
and quality.
Key Responsibilities
■ Produce detailed CAD drawings for custom iron entry doors including dimensions, panel
layouts, glass placement, hardware locations, and fabrication specifications
■ Convert field measurements and customer door-detail selections into accurate,
production-ready drawings
■ Apply complexity-tier estimating (S / M / C / X) to plan and track drawing completion times
■ Coordinate with the Door Details team to ensure all job information is complete and
CAD-ready before drawings begin
■ Manage a daily queue of jobs with named assignments, job numbers, status tracking, and
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
■ 2+ years of CAD drafting experience in manufacturing, construction, metal fabrication, or
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
■ Experience with architectural door, window, or metal fabrication drawings is a strong plus
■ 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
