Drafter

Description

The Drafter is responsible for transforming conceptual sketches from engineers, architects, and designers into 2D and 3D models.

• Use computer-aided drafting (CAD) software to create full-scale and detailed designs.
• Maintain deadlines, goals, and production standards set by the department.
• Collaborate with the design team to review drawings and designs, making adjustments to drawings according to feedback from engineers.
• Present working drawings for use in all stages of the project, tender, manufacture/construction and installation
• Maintain deadlines, goals, and production standards set by the department.
• Interpret structural calculations, sketches, and redlined markups from engineers and translate them into accurate construction documents.
• Develop and maintain structural drawing sets through schematic design, design development, permit submittal, and construction phases.
• Prepare detailed structural plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and connection details in accordance with firm drafting standards.
• Coordinate structural drawings with architectural, civil, and MEP disciplines to ensure alignment and minimize conflicts.
• Assist in the preparation of permit packages and respond to plan review comments under the direction of the project engineer.
• Update drawings to reflect design revisions, addenda, and field modifications throughout the project lifecycle.
• Maintain file organization, version control, and drawing archives within company project management systems.
• Support Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes and maintain model integrity when applicable.
• Develop standard details, drafting templates, and drawing libraries to improve efficiency and consistency across projects.
• Review drawings for completeness, dimensional accuracy, and compliance with internal quality control standards prior to issuance.
• Incorporate manufacturer data, shop drawings, and engineered components into project drawing sets as directed.
• Assist with preparation of structural detail sheets for foundations, framing systems, tilt-up panels, wood framing, steel connections, and specialty systems.
• Provide drafting support during construction administration, including revisions, clarification sketches, and as-built documentation updates.
• Participate in internal coordination meetings and project reviews to ensure alignment with project goals and timelines.
• Maintain proficiency in CAD, BIM, and structural drafting software through ongoing training and professional development.
• Assist engineers with quantity takeoffs, layout planning, and basic structural detailing tasks as assigned.
• Ensure drawings meet jurisdictional standards and formatting requirements for permitting and approval.

? The worker is subject to both environmental conditions:
Activities occur inside and outside.

? The worker is subject to noise:
There is sufficient noise to cause the worker to shout to be heard above the ambient noise level.

? The worker is required to function in narrow aisles or passageways.

Drafters report directly to the engineering team and COO along with our principal team members.

• Bachelor’s degree in drafting or related field.
• Autodesk Certified Professional (AutoCD) required.
• Autodesk Certified Professional (Revit) required.
• Certified Solid Works Associate/Professional (CSWA / CSWP) requires
• 2+ years of experience in CAD design.
• Extensive knowledge of architectural drafting tools.

• Sedentary work: Exerting up to 10 pounds of force occasionally and/or a negligible amount of force frequently or constantly to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects, including the human body. Sedentary work involves sitting most of the time. Jobs are sedentary if walking and standing are required only occasionally and all other sedentary criteria are met.
• Climbing: Ascending or descending ladders, stairs, scaffolding, ramps, poles and the like, using feet and legs and/or hands and arms. Body agility is emphasized. This factor is important if the amount and kind of climbing required exceeds that required for ordinary locomotion.
