CFS is hiring: Project Designer in Bakersfield

CFS, Bakersfield, United States


Project Designer - (AutoCAD Required)
Onsite | Full-Time | Security & Low-Voltage Systems


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.


Why This Role Stands Out



  • Work in a fast-moving, technical environment with real project visibility

  • Be a key player connecting Sales, Design, and Operations

  • Opportunity to grow your skills in security systems and infrastructure design

  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture where your contributions matter daily


What You’ll Own



  • Support the creation and coordination of project estimates and competitive bids

  • Develop and update AutoCAD drawings for system designs and layouts

  • 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.
