Junior CAD Drafter

Job Overview

Seeking recent graduates (or soon to be graduates) of CAD drafting programs. This entry level role will allow you to grow and develop your drafting skills as you work closely with our experienced designers and engineers. You will work hand-in-hand with other members of the engineering team to create fabrication drawings for electric overhead travelling (EOT) cranes and their support structures. EOT cranes offer the unique opportunity to simultaneously develop your drafting skills in multiple disciplines (mechanical, structural, and some civil). This is an excellent opportunity to jump-start your career with a diverse range of experience in an established but fast-growing company.

Company Overview

This branch is located at our brand-new manufacturing facility in Terrell, TX. Globally GH employs more than 1000 people.

The US branch is one of the fastest growing EOT crane manufacturers in the country. We want you to join our team, grow with us, and define the next chapter of GH Cranes.
