Frame CAD Designer

FrameCAD Modeling & Drawing:

• Create and revise 2D and 3D production drawings using FrameCAD Structure/Detailer, AutoCAD, or similar software translating conceptual designs into precise technical drawings for light gauge structures, and echo houses.

• Ensure precise detailing of steel studs, tracks, trusses, curtain-wall frames, and component assemblies.

Prefabrication Support:

• Generate manufacturing-ready files for roll-forming machines (FRAMECAD F-series or equivalents)

• Coordinate outputs for factory-based production and assist in tooling and nesting.

Design Optimization:

• Analyze designs for performance, functionality, and manufacturability, making necessary adjustments to optimize the final product.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of design processes and efficiency within the CAD department.

• Participate in design reviews, offering insights and suggestions for design improvements.

On-Site Coordination and Collaboration:

• Work with workshop and installation teams to verify design-to-site accuracy.

• Support site installation with technical drawings, modifications, and on-the-fly problem-solving.

• Work closely with engineers, architects, project managers and construction managers to understand project requirements, provide design insights, and ensure seamless coordination throughout the design process.

• Communicate effectively with team members and clients to understand project objectives and deliverables.

Project Management:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage project timelines, track progress, and ensure timely completion of design milestones.

Engineering & Compliance:

• Use software-integrated analysis tools to validate structural integrity and local regulation compliance.

• Collaborate with engineers to optimize profiles, load-bearing design, and buildability.

Documentation, Quality Control and Assurance:

• Maintain version-controlled drawing archives, BOMs, and production logs.

• Perform routine design audits, compare built frames with CAD models, and update as-built drawings.

• Generate comprehensive technical drawings, blueprints, and specifications that adhere to industry standards and regulations.

• Conduct thorough design reviews to identify and resolve potential issues or discrepancies.

Innovation:

• Contribute to the development of new design concepts and product improvements, leveraging your creativity and engineering expertise.

Cost-Effectiveness:

• By optimizing designs for efficiency and manufacturability and assisting in reducing project costs and improving the organization’s overall competitiveness.

Continuous Improvement:

• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in CAD design technologies, materials, and construction methodologies to continually improve design processes.
