Drafting Designer Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Our client is seeking a Drafter Designer to develop electrical design documentation for engineered control systems used in power generation and industrial environments. Working alongside the engineering team, this position will translate technical requirements into detailed electrical drawings and documentation used to support equipment fabrication and project execution. The role encompasses electrical drawings, control panel layouts, equipment details, material documentation, design reviews, and coordination of project deliverables.

The ideal candidate brings practical electrical drafting and design experience with the ability to interpret engineering documentation and convert technical concepts into clear, accurate drawings. A strong background with AutoCAD Electrical and familiarity with industrial electrical and control systems will be important. This position is particularly suited for a designer who enjoys working closely with engineers on custom technical solutions rather than performing repetitive production drafting.

Our client is an established engineering and technical services organization serving the power generation and broader industrial markets. Its work includes engineered equipment, electrical and control systems, and technical solutions supporting operating industrial assets. Projects frequently involve existing equipment and specialized applications that require engineering teams to develop solutions around the specific needs of each system.

The Drafter Designer will have exposure to projects that extend beyond the drawing environment into equipment fabrication and implementation. The position provides the opportunity to collaborate closely with experienced engineers, work across varied electrical and control system applications, and develop documentation that directly supports the construction and integration of engineered systems.

• Produce electrical drawings and design packages in AutoCAD Electrical for industrial control and equipment applications.
• Develop wiring diagrams, interconnection details, control panel layouts, and equipment fabrication documentation from engineering requirements and project specifications.
• Translate engineering concepts and technical information into drawings that clearly communicate design intent for fabrication and implementation.
• Coordinate with engineers to reconcile drawings, equipment requirements, and material information throughout design development.
• Review drawing packages at appropriate project milestones to identify discrepancies and maintain accuracy, clarity, and completeness.
• Maintain design documentation as engineering requirements evolve and incorporate approved revisions into project deliverables.
• Work across engineering and other project functions to address drawing-related issues and support timely completion of design packages.

• Professional experience using AutoCAD Electrical for electrical drafting or design.
• Experience preparing electrical drawings such as wiring diagrams, interconnection drawings, control panel layouts, and equipment or fabrication details.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics and other engineering documents used to define control and instrumentation systems.
• Understanding of industrial electrical and control system fundamentals.
• Working knowledge of electrical codes and standards applicable to industrial control equipment.
• Experience coordinating drawings with equipment and material requirements.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly and collaborate effectively with engineering and project personnel.

• Experience with industrial control panels, instrumentation systems, or electrical equipment packages.
• Familiarity with standards and practices related to industrial control panel construction and electrical safety, including UL 508A, NEC, and NFPA 70E.
• Experience supporting engineered equipment from design development through fabrication or implementation.
• Exposure to power generation, energy, or other complex industrial equipment environments.
