Drafter 4 days ago Requisition ID: 1071 Salary Range: $23.00 To $27.00 Hourly CAD Drafter About Kamran & Company Kamran & Company is a leading commercial foodservice equipment dealer and design-build contractor with over 34 years of industry history and $1B+ in completed project value. We serve casinos, stadiums, hospitals, and hospitality venues nationwide, delivering the full project lifecycle — from specification and design through procurement and installation. We are growing, and we are looking for people who take pride in their work, own their responsibilities, and want to build something lasting. Role Summary The CAD Drafter produces the drawing set behind every foodservice project — equipment plans, elevations, sections, and utility rough-in drawings — working from designer markups, project documents, and established company drawing standards. This role turns design intent into accurate, buildable, consistently formatted documents that contractors install from and inspectors approve. The work rewards precision above all: a dimension off by two inches on a drawing becomes a piece of equipment that does not fit on a jobsite three months later. Key Responsibilities Drawing Production Produce equipment plans, elevations, sections, and details in AutoCAD from designer markups, sketches, and project documents. Develop utility rough-in drawings showing plumbing, electrical, and mechanical connection points, sizes, and locations per manufacturer cut sheets. Create and update drawing sets through design development, permit, and construction issue phases. Process revisions accurately, including revision clouds, deltas, and title block updates. Apply company CAD standards for layers, line weights, text styles, symbols, and title blocks on every drawing. Maintain block, symbol, and detail libraries and keep them current as equipment lines change. Manage drawing files, external references, and file naming so the current version is always identifiable. Plot and publish PDF drawing sets for submittal, permit, and distribution. Coordination Support Incorporate architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing backgrounds into foodservice drawings and keep them updated as the backgrounds change. Check drawings for dimensional accuracy, clearance requirements, and consistency across the set before they are issued. Verify equipment dimensions and utility requirements against manufacturer cut sheets and specifications. Flag conflicts, missing information, and discrepancies to the Designer or Senior Designer rather than drawing around them. Documentation & Project Support Support preparation of equipment schedules, cut sheet packages, and submittal documents. Maintain drawing logs, issue records, and the project drawing archive. Assist with as-built drawing updates from field markups at project closeout. Record and report all hours worked accurately, including overtime. Qualifications Required 2+ years of CAD drafting experience in foodservice, architectural, mechanical, or a related technical field. Proficiency in AutoCAD, including external references, layer management, blocks, and plotting. Ability to read and interpret architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings. Meticulous dimensional accuracy and attention to drawing consistency. Ability to take direction from designers, manage multiple drawing assignments, and meet issue dates. Preferred Revit and BIM coordination experience, including working with foodservice equipment families. Associate degree or certificate in drafting, CAD technology, or architectural technology. Familiarity with AutoQuotes, Bluebeam, and manufacturer cut sheet libraries. Our Core Values — RACE RACE is more than an acronym — it’s how we show up every day for our clients, our teammates, and our partners: Responsiveness. Drawings sit on the critical path — estimating, permitting, and the field all wait on the set. Revisions come back on the date committed, and a date at risk gets flagged the same day. Accountability. What you draw gets built and paid for. You check your own dimensions before the set goes out, and when something is wrong you say so and fix it rather than waiting for the field to find it. Collaborative. You work from other people's design intent, so ask the question when a markup is unclear. The cheapest correction is the one made before the drawing is issued. Empathy. Installers, inspectors, and other trades read your drawings under pressure. Draw for the person on the jobsite, not for the person who already knows what you meant. What Success Looks Like In the first 90 days, a successful CAD Drafter will: Be producing complete, standards-compliant drawing sets from designer direction with minimal rework. Have full command of the company's CAD standards, title blocks, and symbol libraries. Be catching dimensional and coordination errors before drawings are issued. Be trusted to handle revisions and background updates on assigned projects independently. Kamran & Company is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. This job description describes the general nature and level of work performed. It is not an exhaustive list of all duties, and duties may change at any time with or without notice.
