Job Description

We are seeking a Computer Drafting Team Lead to oversee and coordinate Autodesk 2D CAD and 3D Inventor activities, reporting directly to the Vice President - Product Engineering.

This role is responsible for managing drafting workflow, ensuring drawing quality and consistency, and leading a multidisciplinary team supporting both electrical/control system and mechanical drafting deliverables. The position will play a key role in interfacing between engineering and drafting functions, ensuring that all drawings are executed accurately, efficiently, and in accordance with FPS standards and project requirements.

The Drafting Team Lead will manage incoming drafting requests, establish priorities, and assign work across a team of CAD technicians while maintaining visibility on project schedules and deliverables. A working knowledge of electrical and control system drawings is required, including electrical cabinet layouts, wiring diagrams, and Boolean logic diagrams. The role requires the ability to review and interpret engineering markups, engage with engineers to resolve ambiguities, and ensure that all drawings meet clarity, completeness, and quality expectations prior to release. The role will also include oversight of drafting-related document control activities, including drawing filing, revision/status tracking, transmittal coordination, and use of customer-specific transmittal platforms where required.

The Drafting Team Lead will be responsible for the overall coordination of the drafting group, which includes both 2D electrical/layout drafting and 3D mechanical drafting disciplines. This role will work closely with the Lead Mechanical Drafter to align priorities, manage shared resources, and address overlapping project requirements. Technical responsibility for Inventor modeling and mechanical drafting will remain with the mechanical drafting group, while the Drafting Team Lead will provide technical direction and support for electrical drafting, cabinet layout, logic drawings, and related 2D drafting requirements. The role will also include people management responsibilities, including performance reviews, vacation approvals, and supporting the development, training, and workload planning of drafting personnel.

A structured transition period of approximately one year will be provided to allow for knowledge transfer from the current Drafting Manager, ensuring continuity in processes, standards, and team leadership.

Responsibilities include the following:

Manage and prioritize all drafting workload, ensuring alignment with project schedules and engineering deliverables
Assign and coordinate drafting tasks across a team of CAD technicians
Lead a drafting group of approximately seven personnel.
Interface with engineers to review markups, clarify requirements, and resolve drawing-related issues
Review electrical, cabinet layout, and Boolean logic drawings for clarity, accuracy, and compliance with FPS standards
Ensure adherence to company drafting standards, naming conventions, and revision control practices
Oversee drawing quality prior to acceptance and release
Oversee drafting-related document control activities, including drawing filing, revision and status tracking, transmittal preparation, and use of customer-specific transmittal platforms where required.
Coordinate cross-disciplinary drafting activities between electrical and mechanical teams
Work with the lead 2D and mechanical drafters to support onboarding, technical training, and development of drafting personnel within each discipline.
Conduct employee performance reviews and support team development
Review and approve vacation requests and manage team availability
Support onboarding and training of drafting personnel, including participation in a structured transition from the current Drafting Manager

Required Qualifications

Leadership or supervisory experience in a drafting or technical environment
Engineering Technology diploma or equivalent work experience
Demonstrated experience with electrical and control system drawings, including PLC cabinet layouts and wiring diagrams
Strong understanding of electrical principles and industrial control systems
Working knowledge of PLC systems and Boolean logic as applied to control system drawings
Experience reviewing and interpreting engineering markups and technical documentation
Strong organizational and workload management skills
Effective communication skills with the ability to interface between engineering and drafting teams

Preferred Qualifications

Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D)
Experience with Inventor or other 3D CAD platforms
Experience in industrial control systems
Familiarity with drawing standards, QA/QC processes, and document control systems
Experience managing multi-disciplinary drafting teams
