• Prepare and update shop drawing-level details and structural components to support project documentation.
• Coordinate structural models with multi-disciplinary teams, including civil, architectural, and MEP disciplines.
• Perform clash detection and quality checks within Revit and related design tools, as applicable, to identify and resolve conflicts.
• Maintain and apply drawing standards, templates, and project documentation protocols across all assigned projects.
• Assist with revisions, markups, and project updates throughout all phases of design and documentation.
• Support engineers with quantity takeoffs and basic design documentation as needed.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery of drawings and models.

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to visualize and comprehend structures in three dimensions.
• Fundamental understanding of structural engineering concepts as they apply to drafting and modeling.
• Prior exposure to structural drafting for building construction.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Associate's degree in CAD, civil engineering, technical drafting, or a closely related discipline.
• Fundamental knowledge of Revit gained through education, training, or professional experience.
• Experience preparing construction documents, including plans, sections, and details, for structural projects.
• Experience coordinating with civil, architectural, and MEP disciplines in a design or construction environment.
• Demonstrated ability to maintain drawing standards, templates, and documentation procedures.
