- Produce disciplined, legible drawing sets including plan views, elevations, mounting details, riser diagrams, and schedules that reconcile precisely to proposal scope
- Separate disciplines appropriately across drawing packages and maintain consistent sheet numbering and naming conventions
- Own your production schedule and internal deadlines while collaborating with sales, project management, and field operations teams
What You Bring
- 7 years of Revit production experience
- Demonstrated experience producing full architectural-level construction drawing sets in commercial environments
- Strong understanding of BIM modeling principles and structured documentation standards
