- Familiarity with AutoCAD or other 2D drafting tools
- Understanding of basic annotation tools and drawing setup
- A beginner’s understanding of HVAC and piping system components
- Willingness to work in shared project environments and learn standard workflows
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Are:

- A fast learner who’s eager to grow in a technical role
- Organized and able to manage your time across tasks
- Comfortable asking questions and communicating clearly with others
- Curious about how things are built and how systems work together
