Job Title: Technical Design Specialist

Location: Athens, TN

Wage: $20.00 – $24.00 per hour (DOE)

Job Type: Full-Time

 

About Us

 

At Big Ridge Outdoor Living , we are a custom manufacturing shop built on a simple philosophy: we build integrated teams, not isolated specialists. We specialize in creating luxury outdoor living structures that define the high-end outdoor lifestyle. We believe true craftsmanship comes from understanding every step of the build process, from the first digital line drawn in SketchUp to the final piece of trim installed in the field.

 

We don't hire egos or divas who only want to stay in their lane; we hire dedicated, cross-trained Artisans who take as much pride in a perfectly accurate digital drawing as they do in the final weld. We are building a resilient, high-quality production floor right here in Athens, TN, and we want people who are hungry to learn it all—from the screen to the shop floor.

 

The Role: Simple, Accurate, and Fast

We’ve tried the "big-room engineering" approach with complicated software, and it isn't for us. We are looking for a Technical Design Specialist who is exceptionally skilled with computers and knows or can learn how to use SketchUp to get things done efficiently. We will train the right candidate.

 

You will be the bridge between our sales team and the shop floor. Your job isn’t to over-engineer; it’s to create clean, simple 3D drawings that ensure our luxury structures are safe, buildable, and exactly what the customer ordered.

 

What You’ll Do

• Sales Support: Create straightforward SketchUp drawings based on customer feedback to help our sales team close luxury deals.
• Production Hand-off: Translate those designs into clear shop floor drawings for our plant personnel. Accuracy is everything.
• CNC Support: We use Fusion for our CNC. It’s simple, and we can teach you our specific workflow in a few days. You’ll be responsible for the digital outputs that keep the machines running.
• Continuous Innovation: We are constantly upgrading our shop. You will be the first to learn and master new equipment software as we add Laser CNCs, CNC Brakes, and other high-tech machinery.
• R&D & Manuals: Help us develop new products and create "easy-to-read" assembly and instruction manuals (think Lego-style simplicity).

 

What We’re Looking For

• Computer Whiz: You navigate software naturally and solve tech problems without being asked.
• SketchUp Proficiency: You are comfortable, fast, and accurate in SketchUp or demonstrate willingness to learn.
• The "Anti-Over-Engineer": You take pride in making complex things simple. You’d rather find a 5-minute solution than a 5-hour one.
• Eager Learner: You don’t need to know Laser CNCs or CNC Brakes today—you just need to be excited to master them as we grow.
• Local Talent: You are reliable and ready to work on-site at our Athens facility.

 

Benefits

• Paid Time Off
• Health Insurance Options
• Paid Holidays
• 401K / Company Match
• Paid Maternity / Paternity Leave
• Growth Opportunities
• Chance To Make Your Own Mark
