Architectural Drafter (CAD) - U.S. Building Codes

Job Overview

Our client is looking for an Architectural Drafter who will play a central role in keeping their drafting pipeline moving — taking ownership of construction document sets from design files all the way through to permit-ready submissions. Working directly with the firm's principals and project managers, you will translate approved architectural designs into accurate, code-compliant technical drawings across multi-state projects. Your precision and reliability will directly reduce the firm's existing project backlog and ensure that every drawing set is ready for licensed sign-off and city permit submission on time.

Client Overview

This is a well-established architecture firm operating across multiple U.S. states including Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and California. The firm works on a range of projects requiring precise construction documentation and permit-ready drawing sets, collaborating closely with licensed architects, project managers, and design principals.

  • Maintain organized and consistent documentation standards across multiple concurrent projects

Requirements:

  • 3–5 years of experience in architectural drafting and construction documentation
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. building codes and permit submission requirements
  • Proficiency in CAD software for producing detailed architectural drawings
  • High level of attention to detail and accuracy in technical documentation
  • Ability to meet strict deadlines and deliver work on schedule with minimal supervision
