Partnering closely with project engineers, architects, construction leads, and project managers, this role translates design intent into buildable documentation. The Drafter coordinates multi-discipline inputs (survey data, structural/MEP details, vendor information), incorporates redlines and field measurements, and delivers submittal-ready packages that meet schedule, client specifications, and permitting requirements.

• Certificate or AAS in Drafting/CAD Technology, Engineering Technology, or related field

• Solid understanding of drawing standards, scales, dimensions, and plotting/printing workflows; experience with Sheet Set Manager preferred
• Bluebeam and basic PDF mark-up workflows; MicroStation or GIS familiarity a plus
• Ability to interpret design notes, sketches, and specifications with strong attention to detail and organization
• Clear, responsive communication skills and the ability to manage multiple assignments and deadlines
• Strong construction knowledge, with experience in Subcontract Management for a Contractor

Responsibilities

• Drafting & Modeling: Produce and revise detailed technical drawings, floor plans, sections, details, and 2D/3D models in AutoCAD (and Civil 3D/Revit if applicable)
• Design Translation: Convert conceptual sketches, markups, and specifications into accurate, buildable plans and sheet sets
• Collaboration: Work closely with architects, engineers, construction leads, and project managers to interpret design intent and coordinate multi-discipline inputs
• Revision & Updates: Incorporate redlines, RFIs, field measurements, and change directives; maintain proper version control and revision logs

• Documentation: Generate supporting documents (legends, schedules, basic material lists/quantity tabulations) and assemble submittal-ready plan sets (PDFs/plots)
• Site/Factory Visits (as needed): Perform basic field verification to capture dimensions and existing conditions for as-built updates
• Quality & Problem-Solving: Flag constructability or coordination issues early and propose practical drafting solutions to improve clarity and efficiency
