Designer, CAD​/ AutoCAD​/ Mechanical Design, Engineering Design & Technologists

responsibilities

organize project design ideas and information using computer-aided drafting and design (cadd) on revit, sketchup, and other graphic software, or conventional drafting methods, based on preliminary concepts, sketches, specification sheets, and other data, to produce designs, working drawings, schedules, details, and notes. Coordinate with all outside parties engaged in the project and integrate information into current and future project documents according to the industry standards.

Develop concept layouts; prepare design narratives, material palettes, and color studies that align with established project goals. Calculate residential program metrics (e.g., gross square footage, parking counts, unit counts) and incorporate results into project documentation. Work closely with project team to deliver sd packages and entitlement sets using prior experience in organizing, assembling, and coordinating individual drawings into a cohesive set of schematic documents as required.

Revise and annotate drawings to address redlines, mark-ups, and permitting comments throughout the project life-cycle. Collaborate with project team to coordinate design documents and applications for submission to owners, contractors, vendors, and authority having jurisdiction (ahj) for plan review as necessary. Research, observe, and otherwise obtain information from all relevant sources to ensure compliance with zoning codes, building codes, and/or environmental regulations and address economic or legal issues.

Assist with other duties as necessary (i.e. Site visits, as-builts, code research, etc.) maintain operating knowledge of building codes and entitlement processes and criteria (zoning codes and design guidelines for the local area), apply insights to ongoing projects. Explore and expand knowledge in emerging architectural design trends.

• experience in organizing and translating project design concepts, sketches, and specifications into detailed working drawings, schedules, details, and notes using revit, sketchup, indesign and other graphic software.
• experience in converting, cleaning, and integrating cad and rhino files into revit while maintaining geometry accuracy, layer structure, and material assignments.
• experience in preparing cohesive schematic document sets by assembling and coordinating individual drawings, diagrams, and details in alignment with office drafting standards.
• ability to revise and update existing documents based on redlines, markups, and team feedback to maintain accuracy throughout project phases.
