Location: Las Vegas, NV (In-Office)

🏆 Recognized by the Las Vegas Review-Journal as one of Nevada’s Top Workplaces

At Steelhead, creativity doesn’t stop at the concept - it’s proven on the shop floor. We’re looking for a Senior CAD Detailer who can take bold design intent and turn it into clean, buildable, fabrication-ready drawings that move seamlessly from screen to shop to show floor.

This role is for an experienced detailer who can independently own drawings from concept through fabrication, understands how their work impacts production and install, and takes pride in sending files to the shop they’d personally stand behind.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the detailing process on complex trade show and experiential projects, from initial design intent through final build
• Translate creative concepts into accurate, efficient, fabrication-ready CAD drawings
• Produce detailed shop drawings, CNC-ready files, and field drawings that eliminate guesswork and rework
• Collaborate closely with Designers, Project Managers, and Production to align on scope, materials, methods, and timelines
• Support the shop and install teams with clear documentation and technical clarity
• Recommend materials, construction methods, and build strategies that improve efficiency and quality
• Serve as a trusted technical resource for build feasibility, detailing standards, and best practices
  

What You Bring:

• 3+ years of professional CAD detailing experience in trade shows, events, fabrication, or architectural millwork
• AutoCAD proficiency (current version) — you’re fast, accurate, and confident in your files
• Strong fabrication knowledge with hands-on understanding of how things are actually built
• Hands-on experience generating and supporting CNC-ready files - you understand how your drawings hit the machine and the shop floor
• Ability to manage your own work, meet deadlines, and prioritize without constant oversight
• Clear communicator who collaborates well across creative, project, and production teams
• Calm, solution-oriented mindset in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments
• High standards for accuracy, constructability, and craftsmanship
  

What Sets Us Apart:

• Top Workplace Recognition: We’re not just saying we’re a great place to work - it’s been officially recognized
  
• We Rent, You Create: Our clients don’t buy exhibits. They rent. That means less rinse and repeat, and more room for bold, fresh ideas
  
• Design-Obsessed Culture: No creative silos. No ego wars. Just a team of high-performers who geek out on pushing boundaries
  
• Visible, Valued, and Supported: You won’t get lost in the machine. You’ll be seen, supported, and celebrated
  
• Creative Variety: Work with a range of world-class brands across multiple industries and events

How We Support You

• Healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision, voluntary plans, EAP)
• 401(k) with company matching
• Flexible Time Off (FTO), PTO for sick leave, and paid company holidays
• Professional development budget for training and continued education
