• Experience coordinating technical drawings with multiple disciplines and project stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail, accuracy, and document organization.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments, meet deadlines, and work effectively in a collaborative environment.
• Self-motivated, dependable, and committed to continuous professional development.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced AutoCAD drafting and design capabilities.
• Experience with Autodesk Revit and/or BIM 360.
• Familiarity with commercial AV equipment, AV signal flow, equipment racks, and cabling infrastructure.
• Experience producing installation-ready drawings and final as-built documentation.
• Previous experience supporting AV integration, low-voltage engineering, or technology construction projects.

Education & Experience

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in CAD, Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline preferred.
• A degree or technical school education combined with 1–2 years of relevant experience is desirable.
• Equivalent hands-on drafting experience in commercial AV, low-voltage systems, or related technical industries will also be considered.
