Drafting and Release Manager

Title: Drafting and Release Manager 

Location: PrimeFab, Greater Toronto Area 

Company: Triumph Group of Companies 

Role Overview 

The Drafting and Release Manager is the bridge between PrimeFab's drafting department and the manufacturing floor. You take technical drawings and specifications from drafting and translate them into instructions the shop floor can act on without confusion. That means reading and interpreting drawings closely, catching discrepancies before they become production problems, and explaining changes in plain language to the people building the product. You work closely with drafters, production supervisors, and shop floor leads, keeping everyone aligned on what is being released and when. Good work in this role means fewer questions on the floor, fewer rework orders, and a smoother handoff every time a drawing moves from design into production. 

What We Offer 

• Salary: $100,000 to $130,000 (commensurate with experience)
  


• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision
  


• Three weeks vacation to start
  


• A stable, growing company with work across multiple construction and infrastructure sectors
  


• Direct exposure to both drafting and manufacturing leadership
  


• Professional development support and room to grow within the organization
  


• A hands-on role where your work is visible on the shop floor every day

Attributes 

• You can take a complex technical drawing and explain it in plain language that makes sense to someone on the shop floor

• Maintain
  accurate records of drawing revisions, approvals, and release history
  


• Support drafters in understanding shop floor constraints and feedback so future drawing packages need fewer corrections
