The ideal candidate will have knowledge of or be willing to learn:
- Develop structural Revit models and drawing sets from architectural backgrounds and models with minimal markup — foundation plans, framing plans, sections, details, and general notes
- Lay out gravity framing systems (joist/beam/girder/column spacing, bearing conditions, deck spans) using sound rough-proportioning judgment, with member sizing and final design performed by the project engineer
- Select and adapt appropriate typical details and basic connections (bearing, shear, base plates, embeds, ledgers) from company standards and industry references, and recognize where a project-specific detail is needed
- Recognize which structural systems are applicable to a given project type — steel, cast-in-place and precast concrete, masonry, cold-formed and conventional wood framing — and set up plans accordingly
- Read and interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings and specifications, and identify coordination conflicts, missing information, and constructability issues early
- Support design-phase clash detection and BIM/Revit coordination workflows across multidisciplinary models
- Participate in model-based design reviews, including constructability, operability, and maintainability reviews
- Maintain drawing sets through design revisions, permit comments, and construction-phase changes (RFIs, as-builts)
- Organize and coordinate technical documents consistent with company BIM/Revit and drawing standards, and perform quality control checks on your own work before engineer review
This opportunity requires:
Education
- Associate or Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Aided Drafting, Drafting & Design Technology, or related field — or equivalent experience in structural Revit/BIM production
• 3+ years of structural drafting/design experience preferred, with a portfolio or work samples demonstrating structural plan and detail development
• Proficiency in Revit Structure required; AutoCAD and Civil 3D a plus
• Familiarity with AISC, ACI, and TMS detailing conventions a plus
• Experience with Navisworks, BIM 360/ACC, or Bluebeam a plus
