We are seeking a CAD Drafter to join our production team and create detailed manufacturing
drawings for custom iron entry doors. You will take field measurements, customer-approved
door specifications, and design selections and translate them into precise fabrication drawings
that drive our welding, cutting, and assembly floor. This is a hands-on drafting role in a
fast-paced manufacturing environment where accuracy directly impacts production throughput
and quality.
Key Responsibilities
Produce detailed CAD drawings for custom iron entry doors including dimensions, panel
layouts, glass placement, hardware locations, and fabrication specifications
Convert field measurements and customer door-detail selections into accurate,
production-ready drawings
Apply complexity-tier estimating (S / M / C / X) to plan and track drawing completion times
Coordinate with the Door Details team to ensure all job information is complete and
CAD-ready before drawings begin
Manage a daily queue of jobs with named assignments, job numbers, status tracking, and
release timing
Participate in three daily check-ins (7:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 4:30 PM) to report work in progress,
blockers, and ready jobs
Ensure all horizontal members, rails, and transoms are dimensioned from finished floor with
proper sight-line flags
Release completed drawings to Fabrication with manager sign-off and verify critical
dimensions
Maintain drawing standards for pre-hung, leveled, and squared door units
Support continuous improvement of drawing templates, standards, and turnaround speed
Qualifications
2+ years of CAD drafting experience in manufacturing, construction, metal fabrication, or
architectural products
Proficiency in AutoCAD or equivalent 2D/3D CAD software
Ability to read and create detailed mechanical/manufacturing drawings with accurate
dimensions and tolerances
Experience with architectural door, window, or metal fabrication drawings is a strong plus
Strong attention to detail with the ability to catch dimension errors before drawings reach the
floor
Ability to work in a fast-paced production environment with daily throughput targets
Self-motivated with strong time management and the ability to manage multiple jobs
simultaneously
High school diploma or equivalent required; technical drafting certification or associate
degree preferred
