  • Generate accurate fabrication drawings including dimensions, weld symbols, bill of materials (BOM), and details required for manufacturing
  • Interpret engineering specifications, customer requirements, and project documentation
  • Collaborate with manufacturing and welding teams to ensure designs are practical and manufacturable
  • Revise drawings based on redlines, engineering changes, and shop feedback
  • Maintain drawing accuracy, revision control, and documentation standards
  • Support project execution by delivering drawings on time and in alignment with schedules
  • Assist in developing standard drawing practices, templates, and design guidelines
  • Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback into final deliverables
  • Gain familiarity with applicable industry standards, piping practices, and weld detailing

This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship
Qualifications / Experience

  • 0-2 years of experience (internships, co-ops, or academic projects acceptable)
  • Proficiency in CAD software highly desired (SolidWorks or AutoCAD preferred)
  • Basic understanding of engineering drawings, dimensions, and tolerancing
  • Familiarity with piping systems or fabrication concepts is a plus (not required)
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to produce accurate technical drawings
