digital project files and assist in preparing permit submittal
packages. Coordination: Communicate with site supervisors or
contractors to clarify drawing details during construction.
Qualifications Education: Associate degree in Drafting/CAD,
Architecture, or a related technical field (or equivalent work
experience). Experience: 2 years of experience in architectural or
structural drafting. Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency in
AutoCAD is required. Experience with Revit (BIM) or structural
software is a significant plus. Technical Knowledge: Strong
understanding of building materials, construction methods, and
structural systems. Detail-Oriented: Ability to catch small errors
in measurements or annotations that could impact construction.
