Job Summary
Four Daughters Millwork LLC is looking for a talented Millwork CAD Drafter to join our team. This position is ideal for someone who combines strong CAD skills with practical thinking—someone who doesn't just create a drawing but considers how the piece will actually be built, assembled, and installed.

Experience in architectural millwork, cabinetry, casework, or woodworking is highly preferred, but we are willing to train the right CAD professional in millwork. If you are proficient in CAD, have strong mechanical aptitude, and enjoy figuring out how things fit together, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
  • Create accurate and detailed shop and production drawings for custom architectural millwork projects.
  • Develop drawings using AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks from architectural plans, specifications, sketches, field measurements, and project information.
  • Translate architectural design intent into practical, buildable millwork components.
  • Detail dimensions, materials, hardware, fastening methods, clearances, assemblies, and installation requirements.
  • Review architectural drawings, specifications, redlines, and field information to identify conflicts or missing details.
  • Revise drawings based on project changes, internal reviews, field conditions, and production feedback.
  • Check drawings for dimensional accuracy, fit, tolerances, and constructability before release.
  • Work closely with Project Managers, Production, Purchasing, and other team members to resolve technical questions.
  • Support the development of as-built drawings and project documentation.
  • Learn and apply company standards for millwork construction, materials, hardware, fabrication, and installation.
What We're Looking For
CAD proficiency is the foundation of this position. We're looking for someone who can produce accurate technical drawings and has the ability to think through how components work in the real world.
The ideal candidate will have:
  • Strong proficiency in AutoCAD; SolidWorks or other 3D CAD experience is a plus.
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, blueprints, shop drawings, sketches, redlines, and field measurements.
  • Strong understanding of dimensions, tolerances, clearances, and basic fabrication principles.
  • Good mechanical and spatial reasoning—the ability to visualize how individual parts become a finished assembly.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and drawing accuracy.
  • Strong problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with Project Management and Production teams.
  • Willingness to learn new materials, construction methods, hardware, and manufacturing processes.
Millwork Experience is a Plus — CAD Ability Is Essential !
However, we also welcome experienced CAD drafters coming from:
  • Mechanical or manufacturing drafting
  • Architectural drafting
  • Metal or custom fabrication
  • Machine shops
  • Construction
  • Furniture or cabinetry manufacturing
  • Other custom-production environments
If you're a strong CAD drafter who understands how things are made, we can teach you millwork.

Education & Experience
  • Associate degree or technical certificate in drafting, CAD, engineering technology, architecture, or a related discipline preferred.
  • Equivalent hands-on drafting experience will also be considered.
  • 2–3 years of professional CAD drafting experience preferred.
  • Architectural millwork experience is highly desirable but not required for a candidate with strong CAD proficiency and mechanical aptitude.
What Makes This Opportunity Different
  • Your drawings don't end on the computer screen
  • As a Millwork CAD Drafter, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with the people who build what you draw, see projects move through production, learn from experienced millwork professionals, and develop a deeper understanding of custom architectural fabrication.
If you already know architectural millwork, we'd love to put that experience to work.
If you're great at CAD and ready to learn millwork, we'd like to meet you too.
