THE ROLEWe are seeking an experienced residential renovation designer who lives in Chief Architect and can think on their feet with homeowners in the room.
This is a hands‑on, client‑facing, team‑oriented contract role focused exclusively on homes: you will develop design options, produce live renderings during meetings, and help clients see the project before a single wall comes down.
Work is project‑based with maximum schedule flexibility. Compensation is structured as a fair independent‑contractor arrangement, with bonuses paid for any project closed during an in‑person meeting. Strong performance opens the door to an extended engagement.
WHAT YOU WILL DO- Produce residential renovation plans, elevations, and 3D models in Chief Architect as the primary design platform.
- Prepare multiple design options for each home so clients can compare layout, flow, and finish direction.
- Attend regular in‑person client meetings in Blythewood, SC, and work up renderings live during those sessions.
- Translate homeowner feedback in real time, adjust plans, camera views, and material choices on the spot.
- Deliver clean, presentation‑ready drawings and images that support pricing, permitting, and construction, and lead the design conversation with the client and internal team.
- Manage a steady pipeline of approximately 30–40 residential renovation projects over a 12‑month term.
- Proven, current proficiency in Chief Architect (not a casual user, this is the daily tool).
- Residential renovation experience: kitchens, baths, additions, and whole‑home remodels where existing conditions matter.
- Comfort presenting to homeowners and making design decisions in a live meeting, not only behind a desk.
- Ability to travel to Blythewood, SC on a regular cadence for in‑person work sessions.
- Team‑oriented approach with clear leadership in meetings, file ownership, and coordination with the broader project team.
- A portfolio of residential work that shows both technical drawing quality and client‑ready visualization.
- Independent contractor. Residential projects only. Maximum flexibility outside of scheduled client meetings.
- Very fair contract pricing, scoped to project complexity and the 30–40 home annual volume. A bonus is paid for any project closed during an in‑person meeting.
- Initial term of 12 months, with the opportunity to extend if performance is exceptional.
- Regular in‑person meetings in Blythewood, SC are a required part of the role, not optional or remote‑only.
