About the role

Millwork Recruiting Source is recruiting a Drafter for a company specializing in luxury custom cabinetry and architectural millwork. This opportunity is suited to someone with 3–5 years of relevant experience who enjoys turning detailed designs into clear, accurate, buildable shop drawings. Onsite is preferred. Remote candidates based in Illinois or Wisconsin will also be considered.
What you'll do: Create 2D AutoCAD submittal and shop drawings, including plans, elevations, sections, details, dimensions, and notes. Interpret architectural and interior design drawings, specifications, field information, and project markups. Show materials, hardware, appliance requirements, reveals, alignments, and installation conditions accurately. Incorporate review comments and approved revisions throughout the drawing set. Identify missing information or dimensional conflicts early and work with the drafting supervisor, engineering manager, and project managers to resolve them. Maintain organized drawing files and follow established drafting standards and revision procedures.
What we're looking for: Approximately 3–5 years of drafting experience in custom cabinetry or architectural millwork, ideally on luxury projects. Strong 2D AutoCAD skills and experience preparing submittal or shop drawings. Ability to read architectural and interior design documents and produce clear, dimensionally accurate details. Working knowledge of millwork materials, hardware, construction methods, and installation considerations. Strong attention to detail, organization, communication, and a willingness to learn. If you're ready to develop your drafting skills on detailed custom millwork projects, apply through LinkedIn or contact Millwork Recruiting Source for a confidential conversation.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
