Role overview

Seating Solutions is part of InProduction, a major provider of temporary seating, staging, structures, and scenic production for events across the United States. The team brings together multiple production and seating businesses to support large-scale live events, with people, safety, and quality at the center of the operation.

This opening is for an early-career CAD detailer who can turn concepts, sketches, and existing drawings into precise working drawings for sales teams, customers, building officials, and field technicians.

• Convert sketches, notes, and source drawings into usable project documents for project managers and production designers.
• Build simple 3D models of scenic pieces from 2D files to help with coordination and visualization.
• Use company drafting standards and templates so all drawings stay consistent.
• Support fabrication and on-site installation by preparing complete drawing sets.
