About Servco Equipment Company

Servco Equipment Company (St. Louis, MO) has been building hardworking commercial and institutional foodservice facilities since 1947. With in-house design and a metal fabrication shop, we create custom, turnkey solutions for hospitals, corporate offices, hotels, casinos, and correctional facilities—specializing in custom commercial kitchen equipment, stainless steel fabrication, and conveyors.

Job Summary

We’re hiring a CAD Designer/Drafter to develop 3D models and detailed fabrication drawings used to manufacture custom commercial kitchen equipment and conveyor systems. This role is ideal for someone who is creative, self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a collaborative, team-based environment.

What Makes This Role Different

•    Design work that becomes real equipment: You’ll create 3D models and fabrication drawings for custom commercial kitchen equipment and conveyors that are built in our shop and installed in the field.

•    Variety every week: This is not repetitive drafting; each project is unique, with different layouts, constraints, and customer requirements.

•    Collaborative, hands-on environment: Work closely with our in-house design team and fabrication shop (sheet metal, welding, press brake) to produce shop-ready drawings that work the first time.

•    Stable company with a strong reputation: Servco has been serving the St. Louis market since 1947 with a steady pipeline of institutional and commercial projects.

•    Opportunity to grow your skillset: Strengthen your drafting and manufacturing knowledge while learning what makes designs efficient to fabricate and reliable to install.
