In this role as a Senior Engineer you're responsible for the development of various types of CAD drawings such as overall fabrication drawings, event service floor plans, and any other drawings needed for the fabrication and future use of display properties.
You'll be successful if you are able to:
- Work from sketches and/or input from the various project team members.
- Work well with others since drawings require input and approval from various departments and shop personnel in order to complete the final approved drawings used for fabrication. Being a "team player" is a must.
- Produce expected drawings quickly, efficiently and as error-free as possible. Drawings should be thoroughly checked by the Engineer before submittal for any type of approval.
- Aggressively seek resolution from either the department head or other team members to prevent delays in the release of drawings.
