about drafters.
Drafters play an important role in the engineering design and production process. For example, drafting engineers are tasked with crafting the blueprints that will bring various designs, structures and products to life — and give developers a realistic preview of what they are trying to create ahead of time.
Working closely with companies in construction, production and manufacturing, your main objective will be to eliminate potential design issues and create compelling visual representations using a variety of tools and programs. If you are creative, have a background in design, engineering or production and are interested in pursuing a career in this field, you should connect with Randstad today to start exploring career options.
average drafter salaries in the U.S.
Average salaries for drafters vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including where you’re located, the company you work for, the scope of your responsibilities and more. With that in mind, average salaries for drafters range from $36,000 to $55,000 annually.
Note that experience working with Autodesk and AutoCAD can boost your earning potential. Bonuses, profit sharing and employee benefits may also be included in your compensation package.
what drafter jobs entail
As a drafter, you will work closely with engineers and design teams to create concepts and visual representations of consumer goods, buildings and many other products. You will work through all stages of the design process. Most of your time will be spent creating, designing and editing blueprints and mockups using design software. You may occasionally be required to work long hours, especially leading up to deadlines or product launches. Meetings with clients and some travel may be part of your job as well. In most cases, you will report to a lead engineer, drafting manager or project lead.
your day-to-day tasks
A day in the life of an engineering drafter can vary significantly from day to day. Your priorities will shift a lot based on the project you are working on and the design phase. Here are some of the tasks that will be part of your role:
- taking part in production meetings
- working collaboratively with engineers, designers and project managers
- coordinating data collection
- consulting with engineers and architects to verify project specifications
- ensuring designs meet building codes and regulations
- drafting product sketches
- converting designs into technical drawings
- verifying design measurements
- identifying and troubleshooting design issues
- creating product models using CAD software
where you can work
Drafters are required by many types of organizations, and you can find career opportunities with companies that engage in product, building or industrial processes. For example, you will be able to find positions with car manufacturers, utility companies, architectural firms, construction companies, engineering companies and more. With opportunities across so many industries, there are positions available for drafters across the U.S. That said, California, Florida and Texas are the three states where demand is highest at the moment.
what you bring to the table
Working as a drafter is very much a creative position, and organizations will expect you to have a creative mindset. You will also need to have strong computer and data management skills. Here are some of the skills hiring companies will be looking for in engineering drafter job candidates:
- strong sketching and artistic skills
- a creative mind
- detail oriented
- critical-thinking and problem-solving skills
- the ability to understand complex design concepts
- strong math, science and computer skills
- strong communication skills
- strong time management, organization and project management
- experience with design software and AutoCAD
training and certifications
Most hiring companies require drafters to have a bachelor’s degree in engineering, design or a related field. Candidates can further their education and add to their credentials by obtaining drafting design certification. While this is not required by all companies, it may give you an advantage over other candidates.
where your career is headed
Drafters tend to work in their roles for the long term. With so many different types of drafting jobs available, some drafters choose to work on a variety of drafting projects, while others specialize in one particular industry. Some take on more advanced roles in drafting, such as drafting supervisor or drafting manager for engineering firms.
