Summary
Uses CAD equipment to provide support to Engineering department by preparing routine layouts of fire sprinkler systems, detail drawings, assembly drawings, sketches, and diagrams. Details to include all views and dimensions necessary for installation. Make copies of drawings and maintains information regarding changes to database. Makes simple decisions but refers most questions / problems to lead designers or chief engineer. Solid understanding of drafting techniques and familiarity with design and fire sprinkler terminology. Mechanical aptitude with ability to complete basic mathematical calculations.

Description/Requirements
Experience in designing fire protection sprinkler systems with as much accuracy and detail as possible to enable the field installation to be completed with as few design errors as possible.
An understanding of any or all the following software applications: AutoCAD, REVIT, Navisworks, HASS, AutoSPRINK, SprinkCAD, HydraCAD, HydraList, TOLBrace etc. We are currently using AutoSprink and will train.
Have a working knowledge of some or all the following documents: NFPA 13, 13R, 13D, & CFC.
Calculates figures to convert design dimensions to resizing dimensions specified for subsequent production, layout, and installation processes.
Ability to take specified information and produce graphic representation (hard copy) of design for review and approval by engineering and design staff.
Makes final sketch of proposed drawing, checking dimension of parts, materials to be used, relation of one part to another, and relation of various parts to whole structure or project.
Revise size, shape, and arrangement of parts to create practical design drawings.
Sketches rough layout of system and computes angles, weights, surface areas, dimensions, radii, clearances, tolerances, leverages and location of holes.
Proficient math skills are a benefit.
Be able to professionally communicate with customers, employees, and building/fire departments.
Provide evidence of fire sprinkler design experience, more the better.
Have a professional attitude and appearance paired with a reliable and predictable attendance.
