If you’re someone who loves turning technical details into organized, accurate project execution—this role is your sweet spot. We’re looking for a sharp, detail-driven Project Designer with AutoCAD experience to support high-impact design and sales initiatives in the security and low-voltage space. You’ll be at the center of it all—helping bring complex system designs to life while keeping projects on track and dialed in.

- Review architectural and engineering plans to ensure accuracy and scope alignment
- Assist in designing systems including CCTV, access control, fire alarm, and intrusion detection
- Keep projects organized by managing documentation, work orders, and job costing data
- Coordinate with vendors and internal teams to gather pricing and product details
- Ensure compliance with NFPA, California Fire Code, and industry standards
- Track timelines and help drive on-time, high-quality bid submissions
- Provide technical documentation support for system updates and revisions
- Maintain clean, organized project files that keep everything running smoothly
What You Should Bring
- 2+ years of experience in project coordination, estimating, or technical admin roles
- Hands-on proficiency with AutoCAD
- Ability to confidently read and interpret architectural and engineering drawings
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple moving pieces
- Familiarity with low-voltage systems, security systems, or network infrastructure
- A proactive, detail-oriented mindset—you catch things others miss
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working behind the scenes to make complex projects come together seamlessly—while building technical expertise in a growing, in-demand industry.
