AutoCAD Drafter

This job is posted on behalf of CLT Recruiters.

AutoCAD Drafter

Long Island, NY · Reports to the Director of Project Management · Full-time, hourly (non-exempt)

THE ROLE

The AutoCAD Drafter produces the shop drawings, fabrication tickets, anchor details and related drawings the work actually gets built from. This is a shop drawing role, not a design role. You would join two full-time drafters and a flex resource who comes in for extra hands.

The role carries the full drawing lifecycle — design interpretation, internal coordination, submittals, revisions, fabrication support and field verification — and independently owns assigned portions of the drafting workflow rather than waiting on direction.

WHAT YOU WOULD OWN

• Clear, complete and dimensionally accurate shop drawings produced in AutoCAD.
• Anchor details, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings and fabrication tickets.
• Field dimensions in whatever form they arrive — hand sketches, marked-up drawings, photographs, notes, digital files— turned into something the shop can cut from.
• Verification of dimensions, relationships and interfaces between components, and review of finished drawings for accuracy and constructability.
• Constructability conflicts and missing information, identified before they reach fabrication or installation.
• Coordination with project managers, fabrication personnel and field teams on priorities and scope changes.
• Drawing logs, revision histories and drawing files, kept organized and current.
• Occasional jobsite visits to assist with field dimensions, layout and verification.

ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Our client is a Long Island architectural stone company working at the luxury end of the market. They fabricate and install cut-to-size natural stone — roughly 80% of it luxury retail, the balance high-end commercial and residential work. Projects run nationwide and the standard is exacting: brand standards, landlord and mall coordination, compressed schedules and off-hours work. Everything is produced in their own shop and installed by their own teams, which means the technical problems land in-house rather than getting passed to somebody else.

WHAT OUR CLIENT IS LOOKING FOR

• Proficiency with AutoCAD, and the ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, specifications and RFIs.
• Experience in architectural stone, construction, fabrication or a related drafting environment is preferred.
• Comfort with geometry, dimensions, scale and the arithmetic that goes with them.
• Strong attention to detail. Drawings here go straight to fabrication, so accuracy carries directly into cost.
• The habit of following up on outstanding items rather than waiting passively.
• Working knowledge of Bluebeam is preferred, and proficiency with Microsoft Office.
• A valid driver's license.

Shared in confidence by CLT Recruiters LLC on behalf of our client, who is not named at this stage. Compensation is discussed directly with CLT Recruiters.
