About the role
We’re hiring a detail-driven AutoCAD Drafter to produce permit, install, and as-built drawing sets for commercial & industrial (C&I) solar and battery storage projects. You’ll work closely with electrical and structural engineers, project managers, and field teams to translate design intent into clean, constructible plan sets.
Key Responsibilities

- Maintain company CAD standards (layers, blocks, xrefs, title blocks, sheet sets) and implement QA/QC on all sheets.
- Update drawings through the comment cycle (AHJ, utility, owner, GC, internal review) and issue revisions with disciplined version control.
- Convert field notes, scans, and markups into accurate CAD; incorporate survey and civil backgrounds.
- Coordinate with engineers to reflect code-compliant clearances, pathways, working space, grounding, and nameplate labeling.
- Produce clean plotting/publishing output (PDF/DWF) with consistent CTB/STB settings and sheet set management.
- Support as-built documentation from redlines and field photos.
**Required Skills & Qualifications **
- 3+ years of drafting experience in the construction industry; solar EPC experience strongly preferred.
- AutoCAD Certification (Autodesk Certified Professional) required.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD (blocks/dynamic blocks, xrefs, Sheet Set Manager), Bluebeam, and MS Office.
- Familiarity with C&I electrical and/or structural drawings; awareness of NEC and IBC concepts helpful.
- Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and revision control in a fast-paced environment.
Nice to have
- Experience with Civil 3D, Revit, or Navisworks.
- PV-specific tools (Helioscope/Aurora/SolarAnywhere) exposure.
- Basic understanding of AHJ/utility permitting workflows.
