CAD Designer/ Drafter AutoCAD

Ford Hotel Supply Co., Saint Louis, MO, United States


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:

Shop‑ready drawing standards and revision control

Press brake and weld‑process considerations

Our internal workflow from design through production
