· Prepare shop fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, layouts, details, sections, and bills of materials to support production.

· Apply appropriate dimensions, tolerances, weld symbols, notes, and material specifications to engineering drawings.

· Review designs for accuracy, fit, function, manufacturability, and compliance with customer requirements and applicable AWS or ASME standards.

· Collaborate with engineers to develop and refine design concepts for custom fabricated alloy equipment and components.

· Work closely with production, welding, machining, forming, quality, sales, and vendors to resolve drawing questions and support efficient manufacturing.

· Create Alloy Engineering drawings from original concepts or customer-supplied models, drawings, and technical information.

· Maintain accurate part numbers, drawing files, models, and revision histories in Alloy Engineering’s document vault or product data management system.

· Process drawing updates and engineering changes while maintaining document and revision control.

· Participate in internal and customer design reviews, incorporate feedback, and clearly communicate technical information.

· Support continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to standardize drawings, improve design practices, and reduce fabrication errors or rework.

· Manage multiple projects and priorities while meeting quality and schedule expectations.
