Job Description

Job Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented CAD Designer / Estimator to bridge technical design and project pricing. In this hybrid role, you will create precise 2D/3D technical drawings and analyze project specifications to calculate accurate material, labor, and production costs for client bids and active projects.

Key Responsibilities

  • CAD Drafting & Design: Prepare detailed 2D layouts, 3D models, and shop drawings using CAD software based on architectural plans, engineering specs, or client rough sketches.
  • Cost Estimation: Perform material take-offs and calculate precise costs for labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor services to build competitive project estimates and proposals.
  • Blueprint & Spec Review: Review construction documents, architectural drawings, and engineering specs to identify scope requirements, potential design flaws, or cost-saving opportunities.
  • Vendor & Client Collaboration: Communicate with material suppliers to secure vendor pricing and collaborate with project managers, engineers, and clients to align designs with budgets.
  • Revision Management: Update technical drawings and adjust cost estimates promptly when project scopes or field conditions change.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Education: Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Drafting, Design, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and estimating software/Excel.
  • Experience: 2+ years of experience in CAD drafting and cost estimation
  • Core Competencies: Strong mathematical ability, spatial reasoning, blueprint reading, and extreme attention to detail.
