ABOUT US

At the heart of Gable lies a passion that transcends the conventional. We’re more than just creators of visual communications; we’re experts at creating experiences. We believe that every brand, building, and place has a unique story to tell, and our mission is to elevate the way they are seen, experienced, and remembered. We are committed to fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment where team members can thrive and contribute to our shared success.

As a Senior Technical Designer at Gable, you will be the driving force behind our SolidWorks integration—serving as the subject matter expert who transforms concept into constructible reality. We’re looking for a high-caliber, self-starting design professional with deep experience in SolidWorks, especially in the areas of sheet metal modeling, BOM and cut list generation, and CNC-compatible part creation. Your work will directly influence how we build by bridging design and production—from the drawing board to the factory floor. If you're a curious problem solver who thrives on hands-on collaboration with production teams, sees opportunity in every challenge, and is passionate about using SolidWorks to optimize manufacturing workflows, we want to hear from you.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Senior Technical Designer is responsible for producing detailed and accurate technical drawings that support fabrication, installation, and permitting processes. This role ensures high-quality drawing output, alignment with project scope, and collaboration with cross-functional teams across Sales, Project Management, Procurement, and Production.
