- Maintain drawing indexes, title block information, and organized documentation throughout each issue cycle.
- Support a reusable detail library and tailor established details to specific project conditions with guidance.
- Generate basic schedules and quantity information directly from building models.
- Prepare drawing packages for digital and printed distribution, including PDF issue sets.
- Help keep BIM files healthy through disciplined naming, warning review, cleanup, and workset practices.
- Coordinate legacy CAD information and consultant backgrounds using AutoCAD when needed.
- Interpret architectural, structural, and building systems documents to support accurate drafting and coordination.
- Work within established standards while developing stronger production judgment across commercial and institutional projects.
Skill Set:
- Demonstrated proficiency in Revit Architecture, including independent modeling and sheet production.
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD for legacy files and consultant coordination.
- Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings, with an understanding of basic construction assemblies and dimensioning conventions.
- Associate degree, technical certificate, or comparable hands-on experience in architectural drafting, CAD, or building design technology.
- Exposure to building code and accessibility concepts, tested assemblies, or common wall type conventions is beneficial.
- Experience with Bluebeam Revu or model coordination tools such as Navisworks is a plus.
