CAD Designer II

About the Role The CAD Designer II is an experienced design-focused role responsible for developing accurate, build-ready CAD drawings and design packages that support automation, controls, electrical, and system layout projects. At this level, the CAD Designer II is expected to work with limited oversight, understand technical intent, and translate engineering requirements into clear, usable design documentation. This role is distinct from Integration Engineers and does not primarily focus on PLC coding or field execution. Instead, it supports the design process by ensuring layouts, schematics, equipment interfaces, and related drawings are accurate, consistent, and ready for engineering review, fabrication, installation, and implementation. The CAD Designer II represents a strong standard of CAD quality and documentation discipline. This position helps maintain drawing standards, supports design consistency across projects, and serves as a reliable design resource for engineers, project managers, and field teams. Typical Experience: 3–6 years of CAD drafting/design experience in automation, controls, electrical design, industrial systems, or related technical environments. What You’ll Do Create and update CAD drawings, layouts, schematics, panel drawings, wiring diagrams, and system design documentation Develop complete design packages that support engineering, fabrication, installation, and project execution Translate engineering direction, redlines, field notes, and technical requirements into accurate CAD deliverables Support system-level hardware and layout design across automation and controls projects Ensure drawings align with project standards, control philosophy, equipment requirements, and operational intent Identify drafting/design inconsistencies, missing information, or conflicts and elevate questions early Coordinate with engineers, project managers, panel shop, and field teams to support project design needs Maintain drawing revisions, documentation accuracy, file organization, and version control Contribute to CAD standards, templates, blocks, symbols, and best practices Provide guidance or support to junior CAD Designers or entry-level drafting support when needed Requirements What We’re Looking For Strong CAD drafting and design experience, preferably in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar design tools Ability to read and develop electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and system layout drawings Working knowledge of controls systems, field devices, panels, I/O layouts, network architecture, and industrial equipment interfaces Strong attention to detail with the ability to produce clean, accurate, and consistent drawings Ability to understand engineering intent and ask the right questions before downstream issues occur Comfortable working from redlines, markups, field notes, sketches, and incomplete information Organized approach to drawing revisions, document control, and project file management Strong communication skills with engineers, project managers, field teams, and internal stakeholders Ability to manage multiple design priorities while maintaining quality and deadlines #J-18808-Ljbffr CLX Engineering
