We are seeking a Mechanical Drafter / CAD Technician to support our engineering team by taking full ownership of mechanical and structural drafting tasks. This role is focused on producing fabrication-ready documentation for modular, steel-based, and enclosure-type systems manufactured in-house.

The ideal candidate can work autonomously, receiving inputs from senior engineers and returning complete drafting packages ready for review or fabrication, with minimal oversight.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce 2D manufacturing and shop drawings for mechanical and structural systems.
  • Develop and maintain 3D CAD models, assemblies, and detailed part drawings.
  • Prepare BOMs, material lists, and fabrication documentation.
  • Support projects involving structural steel, sheet metal, enclosures, and modular systems.
  • Coordinate with mechanical and electrical engineers to clarify design intent.
  • Revise drawings based on engineering feedback and fabrication requirements.
  • Manage multiple drafting tasks across concurrent projects.

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Mechanical Drafter / CAD Technician (not junior-level).
  • Strong ability to draft complete packages autonomously from engineering inputs.
  • Solid experience with SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD (Revit is a plus).
  • Background in manufacturing, fabrication, or engineered systems.
  • Experience producing fabrication-ready drawings.
  • Fluent English (written and spoken).
  • Based in Latin America.

Preferred Experience

  • Structural steel fabrication and welded assemblies.
  • Sheet metal enclosures, cabinets, or racks.
  • Modular or containerized systems (ISO containers, enclosures).
