Job description

Affiliated Resources, LLC is seeking an experienced Contract CAD Layout Specialist to assist our TRED-eX® team in laying out wood flooring panels on industrial steel structures. This is a contract-based (1099) position, ideal for someone with AutoCAD experience who can deliver precise, efficient layouts on a project-by-project basis.
What You'll Do:
  • Create and label wood panel layouts on customer-provided structural steel CAD drawings.
  • Work directly with our sales and technical team members to confirm project parameters and layout requirements.
  • Deliver both CAD files (for customer approval) and PDFs (for manufacturing plants after approval).
  • Participate in project kickoff discussions - via Teams or in-person if local - to clarify expectations and ensure alignment.
  • Represent Affiliated Resources professionally in any customer-facing interactions.

Requirements:
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD (preferred). Other CAD software may be considered if compatible with AutoCAD.
  • Ability to take instruction from sales and project teams and maximize layout efficiency within provided parameters.
  • Attention to detail and accuracy in labeling, dimensions, and file management.
  • Reliable communication and timely turnaround of deliverables (typically within one week per project).
  • Willingness to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to protect proprietary and customer information.

Workload & Compensation:
  • Work is ad hoc and varies based on project volume (estimated a few projects per quarter to start).
  • Typical project time ranges from 2-10 hours, depending on size and complexity.
  • Compensation is paid per project (typically around $60/hour, negotiable based on experience, efficiency, and quality).
  • Time spent in kickoff or clarification meetings is also compensated.

Location:
  • Candidates based in the Portland, OR area are preferred for occasional in-person meetings, but remote candidates will be considered.

Affiliated Resources is a trusted industry leader providing value-added panel and lumber solutions to material handling and industrial customers. Our collaborative, customer-first culture is built on long-term partnerships and a commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation.
