  • Communicate effectively with internal team members to clarify scope, deadlines, and technical input
  • Perform other drafting and design-support tasks as assigned


Minimum Qualifications:
  • Associate degree or technical certification in Drafting, Design Technology, or a related field
  • 2–5 years of professional CAD drafting experience
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD
  • Proficiency in Revit and BIM Collaboration Tools

  • Working knowledge of load calculations.
    • Must be able to recognize when calculated load outputs are unreasonable or orders of magnitude outside expected values.

 

Preferred Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of engineering/design experience with BIM/Revit
  • Knowledge of the AIA defined design phases and their associated deliverables
  • Current experience in the vertical transportation industry


Skills:
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural and engineering drawings
  • High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills
  • Ability to manage multiple assignments and meet deadlines
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills
