Draftsperson (Fusion 360) - Signage, Displays And Art!

We build and install amazing visual projects for high profile clients (e.g., Arc’teryx, Browns Restaurants, Lululemon, etc.). Our specialities are custom illuminated signs, displays, public art and architectural elements - everything we do is custom and no two projects are the same.

Our highly-talented team can handle all types of projects from concept to completion - check out our website (www.tdhxfab.com) or instagram (@tdhxfab) for a lot of cool stuff that we have done.

As our Draftsperson, you will be a key member of our growing business. Specifically, we will look to you for:

• Illuminate using LEDs or glass tube neon
• Machine and install plastics for light diffusion
• Ensuring designs can be built efficiently by collaborating with our talented fabrication team
• Patterns and site measurement files allow our installation crews to function efficiently.
• Build structural elements out of steel and / or aluminum as may be appropriate
• Working as part of a team to design signage, wayfinding systems, architectural elements, interactive environments and public art
• Adjusting typography, curves, measurements, etc. to create production and pattern files - the goal is to make sure that the item being produced will look absolutely perfect when scaled to full size
• Production files are what set up machinery, printers, etc. to run
• Structural detailing for projects (3D design, detailing of sections / elevations) as required to complete shop drawings. For context, we typically:
• 3D rendering (e.g., how does a project look in-situ?)
• Form aluminum to necessary shapes for aesthetic detail

As you progress with our company you can expect to:

• Designs should compliment and integrate into their environment
• Work on neon sign layouts (i.e., glass bends, etc.)
• Start taking a bigger roles in designing signage, wayfinding systems, architectural elements, interactive environments and public art
• Learn about signage construction and build your knowledge of custom fabrication materials, machinery and methods
• Our work should bring a place to life in such a way that the place clearly communicates its purpose; who and what is contained within the space and the value / significance to its visitors

You will see your work around the Lower Mainland - great for bragging to family and friends about the cool work that you do!
