CAD Designer / Drafter (Custom Millwork & Wood Products) - 59018096145

Location: Remote 
Employment Type: Full-Time or Contract
Working Hours: Overlap with U.S. business hours (EST)

We are a high-end custom wood manufacturing company specializing in bespoke doors, architectural millwork, and specialty wood products. Our work blends craftsmanship with precision engineering—delivering detailed, production-ready designs that translate seamlessly from concept to shop floor to installation.

We operate in a highly custom, project-driven environment where no two builds are the same. Accuracy, clarity, and buildability are critical to our success.

We’re looking for a detail-oriented CAD Designer / Drafter to support our custom millwork and wood product manufacturing operations.

This person will play a critical role in transforming architectural plans, design intent, and field inputs into clear, production-ready shop drawings used across estimating, approvals, manufacturing, and installation.

This is not a generic drafting role—you’ll be working on custom, made-to-order products where precision, foresight, and problem-solving are essential.

• →Produce 2D shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and production drawings for custom wood doors, millwork, and related products
• →Translate architectural drawings, sketches, and field measurements into accurate, buildable shop drawings
• →Apply strong drafting standards: dimensioning, annotations, layer management, and file organization
• →Ensure drawings are clear, practical, and usable by shop and installation teams
• →Maintain organized drawing sets and revisions for efficient updates and version control
• →Proactively identify:
  • →Missing dimensions
  • →Design inconsistencies
  • →Coordination conflicts
  • →Constructability issues
• →Collaborate with project managers, estimators, and production teams to resolve ambiguities
• →Revise drawings based on:
  • →Client feedback
  • →Field conditions
  • →Design updates
  • →Production constraints
• →Support a high-variability manufacturing environment (materials, hardware, installation conditions)

• Proven experience producing shop drawings or fabrication drawings for:
  • Millwork
  • Cabinetry
  • Construction
  • Manufacturing
  • Or similar production environments
• Strong ability to convert architectural information into production-ready drawings
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD (preferred) or similar CAD software
• Solid drafting fundamentals:
  • Dimensioning accuracy
  • Annotation clarity
  • Layer organization
  • Sheet layout consistency
• High attention to detail with a quality-first mindset
• Ability to flag issues early and communicate clearly with cross-functional teams
• Comfortable working remotely with a U.S.-based team

• Experience with:
  • Custom millwork
  • Wood doors
  • Cabinetry / casework
  • Furniture or architectural wood products
• Familiarity with production-driven drafting (not just design-focused drafting)
• Understanding of:
  • Wood species and material behavior
  • Joinery and construction methods
  • Shop workflows and fabrication processes
• Experience working on custom / made-to-order projects vs. standardized products
• Exposure to TurboCAD (bonus, not required)

• Drawings are:
  • Clear
  • Accurate
  • Immediately usable by production teams
• Minimal back-and-forth due to missing details or errors
• Revisions are handled quickly and cleanly
• Issues are identified before they become production problems
• Strong collaboration across design, estimating, and manufacturing
• Consistent contribution to smooth handoff from design → shop → install

• Drafters who enjoy real-world, buildable design—not just conceptual work
• Candidates who take pride in precision and clarity
• People who naturally think: “How will this actually get built?”
• Professionals who thrive in custom, detail-heavy environments
