Turn designs into reality on the manufacturing floor.
At The Prestwick Companies, we take pride in designing and manufacturing premium, customized products built to last. Behind every finished build is an engineering and operations team focused on precision, teamwork, and quality execution.
We are seeking a detail-driven Engineering Support Drafter to join our team in Sussex, WI. In this role, you will serve as the essential bridge between digital design and physical manufacturing. Because our products feature straightforward, streamlined designs, the primary focus will be on accuracy and organization rather than complex engineering tolerances. Drafters collaborate with the Engineering, Production, Sales, and Customer Service teams as necessary to ensure that we’re providing the best product to our customers.
What You’ll Do
- Review SolidWorks 3D models and draft clear, concise part drawings according to company standards. Make basic modifications to parts and assemblies as needed.
- Validate digital outputs from NetSuite and Salesforce, check BOMs for assembly, confirm accurate DXF files for CNC routers, and compile complete work-order paper packets for the floor.
- Walk the production floor to help diagnose manufacturing issues, submit rework orders when recuts are needed, and collaborate on real-time engineering solutions.
- Partner with Production, Sales, Customer Service, and Proofing to verify custom specifications and ensure the customer gets exactly what they ordered.
- Conduct peer reviews, update drafting standards, translate legacy product data into modern formats, and assist on special engineering value-add projects.
What Success Looks Like
You take pride in getting the details right the first time. Success means consistently delivering accurate work order packets on schedule, keeping CNC and assembly teams supplied with clear instructions, and maintaining transparent communication across departments to keep daily production flowing.
What You Bring
- High School Diploma or GED required.
- Ability to read, interpret, and analyze CAD models and technical product documentation. SolidWorks experience is a plus, but not required—we are happy to train candidates with the right aptitude and problem-solving mindset!
- Familiarity with business systems (like NetSuite, Salesforce, or similar ERP/CRM platforms) is helpful.
- Strong logical reasoning, high attention to detail, and a proactive approach to troubleshooting production roadblocks.
- Dependable interpersonal skills to coordinate smoothly with fabricators, assemblers, sales reps, and engineers alike.
- Comfortable regularly walking the manufacturing floor and wearing required PPE.
Why The Prestwick Companies?
You will gain direct, hands-on experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where your drawings directly influence the final product every single day. If you love solving practical puzzles, working with 3D design tools, and being part of a supportive, quality-driven crew, we’d love to hear from you
