Seeking an experienced AutoCAD Designer with extensive background in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design for commercial building projects. The ideal candidate will be able to independently organize drawing sets, interpret engineering redlines, and produce high-quality design documents aligned with established drafting standards.

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed AutoCAD drawings for MEP systems across commercial building projects (approx. 10,000 sq. ft. range).
• Interpret engineering redlines, design requirements, and reference detail sets.
• Organize complete drawing packages with minimal supervision.
• Identify required details, label them appropriately, and follow established formatting and pen-setting standards.
• Produce 60% design documents from marked-up plans or past project references.
• Perform basic engineering-related calculations (e.g., duct sizing based on airflow).
• Create plumbing layouts and riser diagrams.
• Clearly depict ductwork and piping systems using double-line representation with color, shading, and accurate line weights.
• Convert between PDF and AutoCAD formats and integrate graphics or photos into drawings.

• Ability to use compliance tools such as COMcheck (preferred).
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to produce accurate, well-coordinated drawing sets.

Experience Requirements

• 10 years of AutoCAD experience in MEP design within architectural, engineering, or commercial design environments.
• Proven ability to independently develop drawing sets with minimal oversight.

Education

• High school diploma required.
• Two-year technical or college degree preferred.
• Additional training in AutoCAD, rendering, or graphic design is beneficial.

Salary is $55K, plus depending on experience.
