CAD Drafter/Sheet Metal Designer
GLC Industries Inc
Job Description
Job Description
GLC Industries Inc is a family-owned sheet metal fabrication shop serving high-end residential & commercial clients across the country. We design and build custom metal products, including range hoods, countertops, cabinets, shelving & more - all manufactured in house.
We're looking for a CAD Drafter to take on the detailed drawing work behind our custom projects. You'll turn concepts and rough dimensions into clear, accurate drawings our customers can approve and our shop can build from — mostly sheet metal parts, along with assemblies that combine sheet metal and solid components.
No prior experience with Alibre Design (our CAD software) is required. If you know your way around a parametric CAD platform — SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360, SolidEdge, or similar — we'll teach you Alibre. What matters most is being willing to learn, and paying close attention to detail.
What You'll Do
- Create detailed shop drawings for customer approval
- Build assemblies combining sheet metal and solid parts
- Prepare flat layouts for nesting on available inventory
- Revise drawings based on shop floor feedback and customer change requests
- Work closely with our production team to make sure drawings translate cleanly into real parts
What We're Looking For
- Experience with a parametric 3D CAD platform (Alibre, SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360, or similar)
- Understanding of sheet metal fundamentals — flat patterns, bend allowances, basic fabrication methods — or strong interest in learning them
- Comfortable reading and creating technical drawings with proper dimensioning
- Detail-oriented — small errors in a drawing become real problems on the shop floor
- Good communicator, able to take feedback and ask clarifying questions
- Willingness to learn our systems, our standards, and our shop's way of doing things
Nice to have (not required):
- Prior experience in a metal fabrication, machine shop, or manufacturing environment
- Familiarity with laser cutting or press brake processes
- Formal drafting, CAD, or engineering technology training/certificate
