CAD Drafter

$19 - $20 per hour

Brooksource

Entry-Level CAD Drafter

On-Site Role

Compensation: $19- $20 per hour

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Engineering Services client is seeking entry-level CAD Drafters to support large-scale fiber and data center connectivity projects as part of a rapidly growing engineering team. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals early in their careers who are eager for hands-on experience, structured training, and the chance to manage projects from inception to completion. You will play a key role in delivering critical infrastructure by creating and updating CAD drawings, designing underground and aerial routes, and collaborating with engineers and municipalities to ensure design accuracy. The team is expanding due to significant growth and a strong pipeline of project work.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Create and update CAD drawings using AutoCAD/Civil 3D for fiber and utility installation projects
  • Design underground conduit and aerial routes connecting data centers using GIS data, right-of-way, and parcel boundaries
  • Analyze route feasibility by identifying conflicts (utilities, structures, vegetation) using GIS and Google Street View
  • Translate field notes, survey data, and project requirements into accurate engineering drawings
  • Follow standardized workflows: drafting, quality control, revisions, and final submission to municipalities
  • Collaborate with engineers, municipalities, and internal teams to gather data and ensure design accuracy
  • Take ownership of assigned projects from kickoff through completion
WHAT YOU BRING
  • Hands-on experience with AutoCAD or Civil 3D (beyond coursework preferred)
  • Exposure to GIS, base mapping, or layering concepts
  • Basic understanding of utilities, telecom, or outside plant (OSP) concepts is a plus
  • Ability to read blueprints, permits, or technical drawings
  • Strong computer literacy and attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills and willingness to ask questions and learn
  • Background in CAD programs, architecture, GIS/survey coursework, or technical/hands-on hobbies (e.g., 3D printing, Arduino) preferred
  • No strict degree requirement - associate's degree or relevant experience is sufficient
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
  • Hands-on experience and structured training in a high-growth engineering environment
  • Opportunity to own projects from start to finish and develop technical and project management skills
  • Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Health Savings Account (HSA) and Dependent Care FSA
  • Supplemental coverage options to fit your needs
  • 401k plan with company match and full vesting after eligibility
  • Paid time off, sick time, and paid company holidays
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offering virtual counseling, financial and legal services, life coaching, and more
