Job Description

AutoCAD Drafter (C&I Solar EPC) — Full-Time

Location: (On-site/Hybrid) Department: Engineering Reports to: Engineering Manager

About the role

We’re hiring a detail-driven AutoCAD Drafter to produce permit, install, and as-built drawing sets for commercial & industrial (C&I) solar and battery storage projects. You’ll work closely with electrical and structural engineers, project managers, and field teams to translate design intent into clean, constructible plan sets.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare complete drawing packages (site plans, roof layouts, equipment plans, one-lines, conduit/cable schedules, details, elevations, sections, labels, legends, and notes).
• Maintain company CAD standards (layers, blocks, xrefs, title blocks, sheet sets) and implement QA/QC on all sheets.
• Update drawings through the comment cycle (AHJ, utility, owner, GC, internal review) and issue revisions with disciplined version control.
• Convert field notes, scans, and markups into accurate CAD; incorporate survey and civil backgrounds.
• Coordinate with engineers to reflect code-compliant clearances, pathways, working space, grounding, and nameplate labeling.
• Produce clean plotting/publishing output (PDF/DWF) with consistent CTB/STB settings and sheet set management.
• Support as-built documentation from redlines and field photos.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 3+ years of drafting experience in the construction industry; solar EPC experience strongly preferred.
• AutoCAD Certification (Autodesk Certified Professional) required.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD (blocks/dynamic blocks, xrefs, Sheet Set Manager), Bluebeam, and MS Office.
• Familiarity with C&I electrical and/or structural drawings; awareness of NEC and IBC concepts helpful.
• Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and revision control in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to have

• Experience with Civil 3D, Revit, or Navisworks.
• PV-specific tools (Helioscope/Aurora/SolarAnywhere) exposure.
• Basic understanding of AHJ/utility permitting workflows.
