We're Hiring!

PetraFab is looking for a draftsperson who can interpret laser measurements of cabinets and walls and draft shop drawings in two dimensions that reflect a 3-dimensional structure.

Petrafab is a stone fabricator serving the commercial construction market. Many of our projects require that we wrap a reception desk and transaction ledge on all sides with stone using mitered joints such that it appears to be a single block of stone. First, we create a drawing of the substrate with a laser measuring device and then have to create shop drawings of all the pieces of stone that result in a desk wrap that can be installed on an imperfect substrate while compensating for the imperfections. This task requires excellent critical thinking in three dimensions. Auto-Cad skills are also required.

A background in creating commercial cabinet-making shop drawings is highly desirable.

A willingness to learn to field measure with laser measuring equipment is a plus. This involves interacting with commercial job site supervisors and project managers. Good verbal communication is essential when describing what must be done to make our task possible.
