Architectural Metals Drafter / Designer

What should you have beforehand?
To succeed in this role, you will combine strong technical drafting expertise with a practical understanding of how architectural metal systems are manufactured, assembled, and installed in the field.
We are looking for professionals who have:

• A degree or technical background in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, Drafting, or a related discipline.
• At least 4 years of experience developing technical drawings, shop drawings, fabrication packages, and production documentation for architectural metal, aluminum, glass, or structural systems.
• Proven experience supporting projects from design development through fabrication and installation, ensuring technical accuracy, constructability, and production readiness.
• Hands-on experience working with products such as railings, glass railings, stairs, handrails, pergolas, gates, fences, screen enclosures, aluminum structures, façades, or similar architectural systems.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and the ability to efficiently produce detailed, accurate, and fabrication-ready documentation.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing and installation processes, including material fabrication, assembly methods, anchoring systems, tolerances, finishes, welding details, and field execution requirements.
• Experience preparing complete production packages, including Bills of Materials (BOMs), cut lists, fabrication details, and other documentation required to support manufacturing operations.
• The ability to interpret and coordinate architectural drawings, construction documents, engineering markups, technical specifications, and field measurements to develop practical and buildable solutions.
• Familiarity with U.S. construction standards, architectural documentation, and imperial measurement systems (feet and inches).
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work closely with project managers, engineers, fabricators, installers, and other stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting manufacturing teams, CNC-driven production environments, or custom architectural fabrication projects.
• Knowledge of U.S. building codes and construction practices, particularly within the architectural metals industry.
• Exposure to additional design and modeling tools such as SolidWorks, Revit, Tekla, Inventor, Rhino, or Fusion 360.
• Experience working on high-end residential, multifamily, hospitality, or commercial construction projects.

Preferred Qualifications

• Spanish language skills are a plus but not required.
• Experience with SolidWorks, Revit, Tekla, Rhino, Fusion 360, Inventor, or similar drafting/modeling software.
• Experience preparing CNC, CAM, laser, waterjet, or other fabrication-ready files.
• Familiarity with welding details, aluminum fabrication, glass systems, anchoring systems, and architectural metal connections.
• Experience coordinating directly with fabrication shops and field installation teams.
• Experience improving drafting standards, templates, workflows, and production documentation processes.

Desired Competencies

• Strong attention to detail and dimensional accuracy.
• Practical, production-minded approach to design and drafting.
• Clear communication with manufacturing, shop-floor, installation, and project management teams.
• Ability to listen to shop-floor feedback and convert it into better, more efficient, and more buildable drawings.
• Strong organization and ability to manage multiple projects, revisions, and deadlines.
• Ownership, autonomy, and accountability.
• Ability to balance design intent, manufacturing efficiency, installation practicality, material usage, and project profitability.
• Collaborative mindset: the ability to ask, "What is the best way to build this?" before finalizing a drawing.

What will you receive?

• Opportunity to work on custom architectural metal projects in Florida.
• Direct exposure to real fabrication and installation projects.
• In-person collaboration with project management, manufacturing, and installation teams.
• Specialized technical environment focused on quality, precision, and execution.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and technical capability.
• Long-term growth opportunity within a specialized architectural metal fabrication company.
