Drafter / Takeoff Specialist – Commercial Roofing, Cladding & Architectural Sheet Metal Role Overview We are looking for detail-oriented Drafters to produce shop drawings and material takeoffs for commercial roofing, cladding and architectural sheet metal projects. Your takeoffs jump-start procurement so Project Managers can review, finalize and release material orders months before field measurements are available.
