What are the responsibilities and job description for the Store Planner - AutoCAD Drafter - Retail Fixtures position at Pivotal Retail Group?
Support Retail Projects at Scale
We’re looking for a Store Planner who thrives in a high-volume production environment. This role isn’t about reinventing store layouts. It’s about producing consistent, accurate floor plans across hundreds of store projects using AutoCAD and standardized templates.
You’ll be responsible for executing store layouts that support new builds, remodels, and departmental updates. If you're detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and comfortable working within established guidelines, this is a great opportunity to make a direct impact across a national retail footprint.
What You’ll Do
- Produce high volumes of fixture layout and merchandising plans in AutoCAD using existing prototypes and planning standards
- Review and apply store-specific survey data to generate layouts that meet operational and merchandising requirements
- Adjust floor plans in response to updated project scopes, business initiatives, or real estate constraints
- Collaborate with Store Operations, Construction, and Field teams to ensure layouts are executable and compliant
- Maintain consistent, organized project files and ensure all drawings reflect the latest updates
- Flag layout or data inconsistencies early and help drive resolution before execution
- Participate in plan reviews and apply changes with efficiency and accuracy
- Conduct occasional field reviews to validate plan accuracy or gather missing data
What You Bring
- Education or training in Architecture, Drafting, Construction Technology, or a related field
- Professional experience producing AutoCAD plans in a deadline-driven environment (academic or internship work may be considered if highly proficient)
- Strong skills in Microsoft Excel to work with fixture data and store plan inputs
- Proven ability to work at pace while maintaining precision across multiple projects
- Solid understanding of layout execution requirements and constructability considerations
- Ability to follow detailed planning protocols with minimal deviation
- Strong organizational habits and responsiveness in a team setting
Bonus Points If You Have
- Experience supporting store planning, construction, or operations for a retail chain
- Familiarity with permitting constraints, seismic layouts, or ADA compliance
- Prior involvement in rollout programs, refresh cycles, or high-volume plan generation
Please Note
An AutoCAD skills test will be required as part of the interview process, and a high level of proficiency will be expected to move forward.
Why Join Us
You’ll join a high-performing team that supports capital projects nationwide, from new stores to remodels and refreshes. This is a production-heavy environment where strong AutoCAD proficiency is critical, and precision and speed directly drive retail execution.
