SolidWorks CAD Drafter Jobs in Saudi Arabia
10 live matches · $23–$64/hr freelance · $34,000–$73,500 salaried
CAD Drafters turn engineering sketches into precise 2D construction drawings, mostly in AutoCAD. SolidWorks is mechanical and product CAD rather than building CAD — parts, assemblies, sheet metal and manufacturing drawings. It sits alongside AEC work on this board because the same remote-drafting skill set transfers.
Pay figures are TaskBider estimates from listings and offers collected in 2026 for Saudi Arabia — benchmarks, not guarantees. Locally that is about 86–240 SAR per hour.
