Mill Creek Community Church•Raleigh, NC

15d

About The Position

MILLC delivers engineered solutions, system integrations, and industrial services for complex commercial, institutional, and manufacturing facilities. Our team designs and supports the electrical & mechanical infrastructure that powers central utilities, critical equipment, and advanced mechanical systems. We are seeking a Designer/Detailer with strong competencies in design standards, drawing quality and methods, and strong technical aptitude. The Designer/Detailer will create 3D models, fabrication drawings, and detailed design documentation for mechanical assemblies, structural frames, modular systems, and equipment components. The ideal candidate is proficient in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Revit, and has experience applying ASME design standards. This role includes developing parametric models, leveraging design automation tools, and collaborating closely with engineers, fabrication shops, and project teams.

Requirements

Associate degree or technical certification in Mechanical Design, Drafting, CAD Technology, or similar field.
Proficiency with: SolidWorks (assemblies, configurations, weldments, sheet metal) AutoCAD Revit (preferred for structural/architectural coordination)
Strong understanding of: ASME drafting standards Structural steel components and mechanical assemblies Manufacturing processes including welding, machining, and fabrication
Ability to produce high-quality drawings with strong attention to detail.
Experience generating BOMs, cut lists, and fabrication packages.

Nice To Haves

Experience with design automation platforms (e.g., DriveWorks, iLogic, Revit families).
Familiarity with AISC, AWS, or structural design principles.
Background working with modular, skid-based, or industrial mechanical systems.
Hands-on experience working with fabrication shops or manufacturing environments.
Knowledge of PDM systems such as SolidWorks PDM or Vault.

Responsibilities

Develop detailed 3D models, layouts, and assemblies using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Revit.
Create complete drawing packages: fabrication drawings, weld details, bill of materials (BOMs), cut lists, and assembly drawings.
Design mechanical components including: Structural steel frames and platforms Mechanical subassemblies and mechanisms Modular and skid-based equipment systems
Apply ASME design codes and industry best practices when creating mechanical components, pressure-related parts, and fabricated assemblies.
Ensure proper tolerancing, GD&T, and manufacturability principles are incorporated.
Build and maintain configurable SolidWorks models, DriveWorks rules, and other design automation configurations.
Implement automated drawing generation workflows to improve repeatability and reduce engineering hours.
Assist in standardizing CAD libraries, templates, and model-based workflows.
Work closely with engineers to translate conceptual designs into fully detailed fabrication-ready drawings.
Coordinate with fabrication teams to ensure designs meet practical manufacturing and assembly requirements.
Participate in design reviews, site assessments, and project coordination meetings.
Support quality control by reviewing drawings, models, and documentation for accuracy and compliance.
Maintain drawing standards consistent with ASME Y14 drafting practices.
Support document control processes, ensuring drawings and models are updated, archived, and versioned properly.
Prepare technical documentation, exploded views, assembly instructions, and installation guides when required.
