Job Description

Job Description

Electrical Schematic & Panel Layout Drafter (AutoCAD)

You start your day in your home workspace, open AutoCAD, and step into a new build for a client that manufactures electrical distribution equipment. You have ownership of the drafting package—wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and schematics—and a friendly engineering team ready to collaborate as needed. It’s a full-time, remote role where you’ll see a project through from kickoff to release, balancing precision with timelines.

Application deadline: 09/14/2026

What you’ll do
  • Produce meticulous wiring diagrams, panel arrangements, and schematic sets using AutoCAD and BPP tools.
  • Own your queue, tracking milestones and keeping deliverables aligned with project schedules.
  • Iterate quickly—folding in feedback from production and engineering to refine drawings.
  • Proactively surface risks or clashes to project leads before they become blockers.
  • Apply company drafting standards and relevant electrical codes to every deliverable.
What you bring
  • 3+ years of electrical drafting experience, with emphasis on control panels or power distribution.
  • Deep AutoCAD proficiency, including tool palettes, custom blocks, and layer management.
  • Skill interpreting electrical schematics, diagrams, and detailed customer specifications.
  • Working knowledge of NEC, UL 891, UL 1558, and applicable ANSI/IEEE standards for panel wiring.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and clear, concise communication.
How we’ll partner with you

If this sounds like a fit, apply today. Our team will reach out to walk you through next steps, prepare you for conversations with the client, and advocate for your success throughout the hiring process.

This position is full-time and fully remote.
