Build the Plans That Become Homes

  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD
  • Basic proficiency with Gmail, Google Sheets or Excel, and Google Docs or MS Word
  • Strong attention to detail and organization
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
  • Willingness to learn residential construction standards and processes

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

  • 1–2 years of drafting experience (educational or professional)
  • Exposure to residential construction or architectural drafting
  • Familiarity with basic building code guidelines
  • Understanding of site design considerations such as wind exposure and snow load

Education

  • High School Diploma or equivalent required
  • Associate Degree in Drafting, Architecture, or a related field preferred

Benefits

  • $29.00 - $31.50 per hour
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Company-sponsored basic life insurance
  • Voluntary life insurance options
  • 401(k) with company match
