Escape Room Drafter 156 Knotter Dr, Cheshire, CT 06410 From $25 an hour - Full-time Apply with Indeed Can you turn an approved design into drawings a carpenter can build without a single question? Are you as fluent on the shop floor as you are in Fusion 360? Escapology builds immersive escape rooms that thousands of players step into every week—and every prop, wall, and puzzle starts as a drawing. We're hiring a Drafter to turn approved designs into the drawings, CNC files, and inventories our shop, contractors, and install crews build from. Sitting in EP&D between Design and Production and reporting to the Technical Operations Manager, you'll work closely with Carpentry, CNC, Electronics, Paint, Procurement, Shipping, QA, and Install—so every prop is cut, built, shipped, and installed exactly as drawn. You'll work in Fusion 360 every day, and spend just as much time talking with the people who use your drawings. If your packages land on time, pass review the first time, and leave the shop with fewer questions and zero recuts, you'll fit right in. Your Role Between Design & Production Draw It to

Build Right:

Produce fully dimensioned plans, elevations, sections, and details that call out materials, hardware, fasteners, finishes, and tolerances—with cut lists and part labels that match the CNC files. Design for buildability, repeatability, shipping breaks, and service access, so carpentry builds without guessing.

Make CNC Files Machine-Ready:

Create clean, closed, toolpath-ready geometry on the correct layers, nested for strong sheet yield and accounting for material thickness, tool diameter, kerf, inside-corner relief, tabs, and grain. Prove out new files with the CNC operator and version them so outdated files never reach the machine. Integrate the

Tech:

Work with the Electronics Manager to detail mounting, cable paths, access panels, and service clearances for sensors, maglocks, lighting, and PLC hardware—and lock in every power, low-voltage, network, PLC, DMX, camera, and audio drop before release. Lay Out the

Room:

Draw rough drywall and tech-drop plans (walls, framing, blocking, penetrations) plus full assembly and install drawings showing placement, elevations, anchoring, field wiring, and install sequence—then roll install redlines into the next revision. Own the

Construction Inventory:

Keep each room's full list of props, parts, materials, and hardware in lockstep with the drawings—every drawn item listed, every listed item traced—feeding BOMs and long-lead items to Procurement and crate and pallet lists to Shipping. Hold the

Standard:

Follow and help maintain our drafting standards for title blocks, layers, naming, and dimensioning. Release every change with a revision, date, and change note, submit work for review before release, pull superseded versions, and add proven details to the shared library. Work With the

Build Team:

Attend design and build reviews, answer shop, field, and contractor questions quickly, support outside vendors building Escapology-approved designs, and fix the drawing—not just the part.

Grow With Production:

As production needs shift, cross-train and step into broader workshop tasks—supporting projects, assisting across teams, and contributing wherever your skills add the most value.

Sitewide Responsibilities:

Take part in company-wide initiatives, projects, and operational duties that keep the facility running at its best, supporting other departments as the needs of the business dictate. What You Bring We're looking for a precise, communicative drafter who thinks like a builder—and keeps every department working from the same current version. Required Foundations Strong Fusion 360 skills— modeling parts and assemblies, producing dimensioned 2D drawings, and preparing CAM-ready geometry for a CNC router. Proven experience producing construction or shop drawings for fabrication, millwork, scenic, exhibit, or similar builds. A builder's knowledge of sheet goods, hardware, fasteners, and how wood and plastic parts are cut and assembled—plus CNC fundamentals: tool diameter, kerf, tabs, nesting, and inside-corner relief. Excellent communication— you explain a drawing clearly to a carpenter, electrician, or install lead, ask the right questions before you draw, and are just as comfortable on the shop floor, in a review meeting, or on a call with a contractor. Collaborative and detail-driven— you take feedback and redlines well, follow up without being chased, and get labels, quantities, and revisions right every time. The ability to manage several room packages at once against a build schedule—prioritizing overlapping deadlines and flagging schedule risks early. A portfolio of 2-3 examples of construction drawings, shop drawings, or CNC work made in Fusion 360, plus a brief story about a time one of your drawings went to the shop or field and what you learned from the questions that came back. Bonus Points If You Have Familiarity with low-voltage, show control, PLC, or DMX installs and how they affect wall and prop design. Experience with construction drawings for framing, drywall, and MEP coordination. Experience building BOMs or inventory lists that drive purchasing and shipping. Hands-on shop or install experience. Direct experience with escape rooms, themed entertainment, theater, or exhibit fabrication. Escapology is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
