Job Title: CAD Operator / Designer
AmeriChem Systems, Inc. designs and fabricates custom process equipment for industrial clients across 36 states and 22 countries — chemical feed skids, filtration systems, containerized units, and one-of-a-kind process equipment. Every project starts as an idea, and the CAD Operator/Designer is where those ideas become the drawings the shop actually builds from. This role works directly with our mechanical engineers to develop detailed shop and fabrication drawings, prepare technical write-ups, and coordinate with customers, suppliers, and coworkers across the full project lifecycle. If you are fluent in Inventor and AutoCAD, know your way around pumps and piping systems, and want to see your drawings roll out the shop door on real equipment, this is the role for you.
