About The Position

The Drafting Manager provides strategic leadership and oversight for a team of drafters producing high-quality construction drawings for nationwide modular building projects.

5+ years in drafting, design, or engineering within construction, manufacturing, or modular/prefab building.
2–3+ years of experience leading or supervising a drafting or design team with a focus on standards rather than daily production.

Deep understanding of building codes, construction documents, and modular building methods.
Excellent organizational, communication, and leadership skills with a detail-oriented approach to process improvement.
Full-time, on-site availability in Tulsa, OK; authorized to work in the U.S. (no sponsorship).
