CAD Designer/ Drafter AutoCAD

About Servco Equipment Company

Servco Equipment Company (St. Louis, MO) has been building hardworking commercial and institutional foodservice facilities since 1947. With in-house design and a metal fabrication shop, we create custom, turnkey solutions for hospitals, corporate offices, hotels, casinos, and correctional facilities-specializing in custom commercial kitchen equipment, stainless steel fabrication, and conveyors.

Job Summary

We're hiring a CAD Designer/Drafter to develop 3D models and detailed fabrication drawings used to manufacture custom commercial kitchen equipment and conveyor systems. This role is ideal for someone who is creative, self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a collaborative, team-based environment.

What Makes This Role Different

• Design work that becomes real equipment: You'll create 3D models and fabrication drawings for custom commercial kitchen equipment and conveyors that are built in our shop and installed in the field.

• Variety every week: This is not repetitive drafting; each project is unique, with different layouts, constraints, and customer requirements.

• Collaborative, hands-on environment: Work closely with our in-house design team and fabrication shop (sheet metal, welding, press brake) to produce shop-ready drawings that work the first time.

• Stable company with a strong reputation: Servco has been serving the St. Louis market since 1947 with a steady pipeline of institutional and commercial projects.

• Opportunity to grow your skillset: Strengthen your drafting and manufacturing knowledge while learning what makes designs efficient to fabricate and reliable to install.

Key Responsibilities

• Create 3D CAD models for custom foodservice equipment and conveyors

• Produce detailed fabrication/production drawings for manufacturing

• Ensure designs meet customer specifications, overall dimensions, and field fit/function requirements

• Design parts that can be manufactured with existing shop tooling and processes

• Support production under supervision by identifying issues and assisting with corrective actions

• Revise and maintain CAD models/drawings for future use and standardization

• Organize and maintain project files and production documentation

Required Qualifications

• Ability to use CAD software to read and develop technical drawings

Preferred Qualifications

• 1+ year experience with Autodesk CAD software (AutoCAD, Inventor; Revit is a plus)

• Experience or knowledge of sheet metal fabrication

• Familiarity with CNC press brake operations/functions

• Understanding of common welding methods

• Experience in manufacturing or manufacturing processes

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Teams, Word)

• Relevant technical education (certificate, associate degree, or comparable coursework) may substitute for experience.

We Will Train the Right Candidate

We recognize that strong CAD fundamentals and a great attitude matter. If you're comfortable reading technical drawings, modeling accurately, and learning fast, we're open to training you on the rest-especially:

• Sheet metal fabrication best practices

• Shop-ready drawing standards and revision control

• Press brake and weld-process considerations

• Our internal workflow from design through production

Workplace Standards

• Drug-Free Workplace

• Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE)
