Summary

The CAD Designer uses 2D/3D computer aided drafting and calculations to provide support to engineering and operations by preparing accurate and routine lift-plans, detail drawings, assembly drawings, sketches and diagrams.

Responsibilities

• Uses 2D/3D AutoCad to develop lift plans, machinery installations and supporting designs.
• Sets up and maintains an organized file system for execution drawings.
• Met with the client as necessary to discuss job scope and field measure the jobsite.

• Industry Awareness: A basic understanding of construction and/or engineering standards like AISC, ASME-BTH, or AWS (we will help you learn how to apply these in the field!).
• Software Knowledge: Hands-on classroom or project experience with drafting tools like AutoCAD 3D or SolidWorks. (Bonus points if you have been exposed to Bluebeam, Cranebee, or 3D Lift Planner!)
• Field Interest: Any academic projects or limited exposure dealing with cranes, forklifts, hydraulic equipment, or oversized cargo transport.
• Core Knowledge: Classroom, project, or internship familiarity with the basics of heavy machinery, lifting equipment, or cargo movement.
• The Right Attitude: A strong desire to learn, adapt, and grow your career within a specialized, fast-paced industry.
