Facade Detailer - Drafter

Company Description

Mitrex is the world's largest manufacturer of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). We manufacture solar façades, cladding, railings, roof panels, and noise barriers that turn building envelopes into clean energy generators. Cladify is our rainscreen and architectural cladding systems brand. We manufacture ventilated rainscreen assemblies in porcelain, ACM, and stone-composite materials - along with subframing systems like Cladishield - that give architects design flexibility without compromising building envelope performance.

Together, our projects range from healthcare and education campuses to high-rise residential and infrastructure. We deliver to general contractors as a supply partner and, on select projects, as a supply-and-install partner.

Position: Facade Detailer - Drafter

Reports to: Engineering/Drafting Manager 

Position Type: Full-time

Compensation: ~$60K–$85K (based on experience)

Position Summary

We're looking for a Facades Detailer to produce fabrication-ready shop drawings across both product lines - from solar façade panels on landmark projects to porcelain, ACM, and stone-composite rainscreen systems. You'll turn design intent into drawings our factory and installers build from directly.

Job Responsibilities

Across Both Brands (Mitrex & Clarify)

• Prepare shop drawings, panel layout and optimization drawings, and installation details from architectural/structural sets and field surveys
• Detail attachment systems, subframing (Cladishield and related systems), flashings, copings, penetrations, and interfaces with adjacent trades
• Generate fabrication tickets, cut lists, and BOMs coordinated with production, panel numbering, and shipping sequences
• Process architect/consultant review comments and issue clouded revisions with clean revision logs
• Verify field dimensions against as-builts and flag discrepancies before fabrication release
• Maintain drawing registers and document control per project

Mitrex-Specific (BIPV)

• Detail electrical integration: junction box locations, wire routing, connector access, and string layouts per engineering direction
• Support drawings tied to certification and AHJ requirements (UL, IEC, ESA) - accuracy here is compliance-critical
• Contribute to high-profile projects, including North America's largest BIPV installation and Guinness World Record façades

Cladify-Specific (Rainscreen)

• Detail ventilated rainscreen assemblies, open- and closed-joint systems, and mixed-material elevations
• Coordinate panel modulation and joint patterns with architectural design intent while optimizing yield and fabrication efficiency

Qualifications

• Diploma in architectural technology, drafting, or structural technology (or equivalent experience)
• 3–5+ years detailing in curtain wall, cladding, ACM, precast, or metal fabrication; façade experience strongly preferred
• Strong AutoCAD; Inventor, SolidWorks, or Revit an asset
• Fluency reading architectural and structural sets and envelope details
• Working knowledge of fabrication tolerances, thermal movement, and OBC/envelope fundamentals; solar or electrical drawing exposure a plus but not required - we'll train the BIPV layer
• Ability to run multiple concurrent projects to deadline with high accuracy

Why Mitrex & Cladify

• Vertically integrated manufacturer - your drawings go straight to our own factory floor, and you see them built
• Landmark project portfolio in Canada, the US, and the Middle East
• Zero-debt, growth-stage company investing heavily in new products and technology
• Competitive salary, benefits, and growth path into senior detailing or engineering coordination
