Requirements:
· Autocad training
· Blueprint reading
· A flexible mind
Would be nice:
· Architectural drafting
· Electrical drafting
· Visio experience
· Autolisp programming
We are the premier manufacturer and installer of top-end integrated home and business automation, theater, and security systems. We are growing and need an entry-level drafter to grow with us. We are an equal-opportunity employer and believe in promoting from within the company. If you like to travel (to places like Aspen and the NICE parts of Florida) you could be a project manager in six months, like the LAST person I hired!
The job involves both laying out our product on architectural floorplans and electrical layout drawings.
We are located in one of Chicago’s far-west suburbs, just off the tollways (East-West & North-South).
(And I was able to pry out of management what they are willing to pay, which was considerably MORE than I was assuming. A living wage, especially for an entry-level job. It’s a terrific opportunity and wouldn’t still be open except I haven’t been looking too hard and the guy who placed first dibs on it found an even better opportunity.)
Hey, that would be perfect for me! I’m an Autocad drafter with an industrial refrigeration outfit, with all the skills you listed. Unfortunately, I have commitments here on the west coast that I can’t leave(6 year old son).
Would your company be willing to relocate to Portland, OR?
And you’ll let me know when you open your Michigan branch office and will farm out contract work, because that’s when we’ll get Mr Cranky signed up (I know I said he is an architect, but he doesn’t practice–he works from bluprints to do Autocad drawings and 3DS Max animations of other architect’s work. Perfect eh?)
Cranky, nobody in Michigan can afford us. When the insanely rich start moving TO Jackson or Flint, instead of denying they ever heard of them, then maybe we’ll talk.
Okay, kids. Last bump before I move it to HotJobs.
I used to draw electrical diagrams for C-130 aircraft at Lockheed, using CADAM. I’m sure I could pick up AutoCAD quickly. But I want to live in Washington state, not Chicago.
And as I said in my phone conversation with you last week, I just got a fabulous new job with a 17K raise, lots of benefits, trips to germany, all sorts of other fun stuff…sorry!
Plus I don’t have to travel to Bumble!@#$ Western suburbs
