Layout Designer

The Layout Designer provides CAD drafting and design support for complex facility and module layouts, guiding projects through a full preconstruction lifecycle of approximately fourteen months. This role focuses on composite and module design, creation and revision of floor plans, and coordination of architectural and engineering requirements to enable successful construction handoff. The Layout Designer collaborates closely with project management and multiple stakeholders, participates in design reviews and team meetings, and ensures that all preconstruction documentation is complete, accurate, and well organized.

• Provide CAD drafting support for composite designs and revisions, ensuring drawings are accurate, clear, and aligned with project standards.
• Hold design review calls with stakeholders, capture detailed minutes, and track followup actions to keep the project on schedule.
• Perform drafting work for module creation, interpreting requirements from SIM tickets and translating them into precise module and floor plan drawings.
• Review SIM tickets for completeness, provide feedback to Change Management when information is missing or unclear, and help improve documentation quality.
• Create and modify module drawings based on redlines and design changes, maintaining version control and consistency across all documents.
• Attend regular team meetings to share progress updates, resolve design issues, and coordinate with cross functional partners.
• Manage stakeholder expectations for project managers and other partners by communicating timelines, risks, and design constraints clearly and proactively.
• Project manage design activities through a 14month lifecycle, from initial concept and site selection through preconstruction handoff.
• Obtain and document all project specifics from site selection and transaction management, ensuring key decisions and site parameters are recorded.
• Research and compile all available information for each site, including surveys, existing drawings, site visits, and other relevant data.
• Coordinate all engineering and architectural specifications for each building type, including internal composite coordination, site specific information, transportation and traffic control, internal BRS requirements, and specific lineofbusiness standards.
• Coordinate initial architectural design packages and permit submittals as required, supporting timely approvals from relevant authorities.
• Develop and provide supporting documents for lease execution, such as site plans, work letters, schedules, and phasing plans.
• Develop initial construction schedules and sequences for construction phasing when necessary, aligning design milestones with build activities.
• Create construction estimates for capital requests and other planning efforts, using layout and design information to support budgeting and approvals.
• Manage due diligence, utility coordination, and other preconstruction efforts prior to construction handoff, ensuring all requirements are addressed.
• Provide complete and accurate documentation for construction handoff, including contacts, drawings, permit status, lease language and exhibits, capital request breakdowns, and details of any landlord contributions or reimbursements.
• Maintain a comprehensive repository of all preconstruction work products for each site, ensuring documents are organized, accessible, and up to date.
• Collaborate with multiple stakeholders across large commercial and industrial projects, balancing priorities and managing work on multiple sites simultaneously.
• Apply facility layout and floor plan design principles to develop efficient, scalable layouts for industrial modules, composites, and building interiors.

• Bachelors degree in Interior Designing and Planning, Architecture, Engineering and Technical Drawing, or Engineering.
• Minimum of 2 years of handson AutoCAD experience in a professional design or drafting environment.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for floor plan layout, module design, and composite drawings.
• Experience with Revit for design coordination and documentation.
• Demonstrated experience working with multiple stakeholders on large commercial or industrial projects.
• Experience in facility layout and floor plan design for industrial or large scale environments.
• Ability to manage design projects through extended life cycles, including coordination from preconstruction through construction handoff.
• Strong documentation skills, including the…
