AutoCAD Drafter

Turn an architect's concept into a fabrication-ready package, for a stone fabricator working nationwide.

Our client is a Long Island architectural stone company working at the luxury end of the market. They fabricate and install cut-to-size natural stone - roughly 80% of it luxury retail, the balance high-end commercial and residential work. Projects run nationwide and the standard is exacting: brand standards, landlord and mall coordination, compressed schedules and off-hours work. Fabrication and installation sit inside the same business, which means the technical problems land with your team instead of getting passed to somebody else. The identity of our client will be shared with qualified candidates at the appropriate stage of the search.

The role

This is a shop drawing role, not a design role. You produce fabrication-ready packages that the shop cuts from. You would join two full-time drafters and a flex resource who comes in for extra hands.

What you will do

• Produce shop drawings and fabrication-ready packages for cut-to-size natural stone.
• Take field dimensions in whatever form they arrive - a marked-up plan, a field sketch, a set of measurements - and turn them into something the shop can cut from.
• Work with the Project Managers through the submittal and approval cycle, and revise as approvals come back.
• Coordinate with the shop on constructability, tolerances and sequencing.

What we are looking for

• Shop drawing experience out of stone, millwork or architectural metal. This is the requirement that matters most.
• Strong, working AutoCAD.
• Comfort turning imperfect field information into fabrication-ready drawings.
• A general architectural drafter who has only worked on the design side is not a fit for this one.

Hours and compensation

$80,000 - $100,000 a year, which is $38.50 - $48.00 per hour at a standard 40-hour week. The role is hourly and non-exempt, so any overtime is paid on top of that figure instead of built into it.

On overtime, straight from our client: it is not a regular thing when the workload is steady, but it is real when the shop is stretched. We are telling you that plainly, not selling it as an earnings upside.

Benefits

• Medical after 90 days, with three plan tiers to choose from. The company contributes $975 per month toward the cost of the plan.
• Vision and dental offered.
• Supplemental benefit offerings - accident, hospital, critical illness and cancer plans.
• Disability and Paid Family Leave.
• 401(k) with a 3% non-elective safe harbor contribution - automatic enrollment after one year and 1,000 hours of service. The 3% goes in whether or not you defer anything yourself. Pre-tax and Roth options.
• Profit sharing, at the company's discretion.
• Annual performance-based bonus opportunity.
• Two weeks of paid vacation, accrued through the year.
• One week of paid sick time, separate from vacation and available in full from your start date.
• Seven company-paid holidays.
