Our client, a growing Northern Illinois manufacturer of custom-engineered building systems, is adding an experienced CAD Detailer / Designer to its engineering team.

Business is strong, the company has a healthy backlog, and they are ready to hire. This is a hands-on role creating the 3D models, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings and manufacturing documentation that turn engineered building concepts into finished products.

What You'll Do

• Create 3D models and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor
• Produce fabrication, assembly and installation drawings using Inventor and AutoCAD
• Create and maintain BOMs and manufacturing documentation
• Manage drawings, revisions and product data using Autodesk Vault
• Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, purchasing and project teams
• Support DFM/DFA, engineering changes and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of CAD design/detailing experience
• Strong Autodesk Inventor experience
• Strong AutoCAD experience
• Autodesk Vault experience
• Experience creating production-ready drawings and BOMs
• Manufacturing experience with structural steel, building systems, architectural products, metal fabrication or similar engineered products strongly preferred
• ERP/MRP familiarity
• Detail-oriented, self-directed and comfortable working in a fast-moving manufacturing environment

This is a full-time, direct-hire opportunity with a growing company and an engineering team being built for the future. If you like seeing your designs move from the screen to fabrication and ultimately become real-world structures, this is an opportunity to make an immediate impact.

This position is onsite five days per week in Harvard, Illinois. Local candidates within commuting distance are required. No remote or hybrid option.
