Job Requirements / Description
Who We Are
At Freshpet, our goal is to change the way people nourish their pets forever. We strive to strengthen the bond between people and our pets so that we both live longer, healthier, and happier lives while being kind to the planet. We believe that if we can create fresh, real foods that pets love and help them live healthier lives that their pet parents will also enjoy the many benefits of a rich life shared with a pet.
We started off with a mission to change the way pet parents feed dogs and cats, but we also wanted to be a company that had a thoughtful approach to how we operate. We wanted to do things differently, make great products but be gentle to the planet, good to the people who touch our business, and leave a positive impact with everything we do. We work hard every day to ensure that the original vision is met, starting with making the highest quality foods in our kitchens to running our business with integrity, transparency, and social and environmental responsibility. IT'S AMAZING WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU START COMPLETELY FRESH!
What You Will Do
The Engineering Draftsperson is fully responsible for receiving, maintaining, disseminating, and documenting all construction, equipment, facility related documents, and drawings, while ensuring accuracy and all base plans and fire life safety plans. You will also be responsible for evaluating, verifying, and reorganizing all existing archived electronic documents for each facility across the Freshpet facilities. This role will work closely with the project managers, project coordinators, maintenance, facility managers, and Engineering management.
This position will work onsite out of our Ennis, TX facility.
