Thomas Murray
@thomasmurray
Industrial designer and CAD drafter skilled in solar design, drafting, and project coordination.
What I'm looking for
I am an industrial designer and CAD drafter with broad hands-on experience across solar design, elevator drafting, and commercial fabrication. I combine technical drafting skills with practical field experience, from managing worksites to performing technical billing and auditing.
My career includes roles as a solar designer using AutoCAD and Aurora, a CADDrafter for home elevators, and CAD technician work for pharmaceutical wall panels using TurboCAD. I have a track record of producing accurate plansets, reviewing and approving designs, and improving departmental efficiency.
I have supported operations beyond drafting: billing coordination with major clients, office and warehouse management, and on-site foreman responsibilities. I have also completed internships in illustration, which strengthened my conceptual and visualization skills.
I value clear, standards-driven design and practical execution. I seek roles where I can apply CAD expertise, solar and electrical knowledge, and process-improvement experience to deliver reliable, code-compliant designs and help teams run more efficiently.
