Structural Drafting Technologist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Structural Revit Designer

Bureau Veritas is seeking an experienced Senior Structural Designer to join our multidisciplinary engineering team. This position plays a critical role in the development and delivery of structural engineering projects by transforming engineering concepts into accurate, coordinated, and high-quality construction documents. This is a primarily remote role with a requirement for a California location for occasional meetings with team (Irvine office) or on-site client visits.

We are looking for a technically strong structural professional with advanced Structural Revit expertise and a solid understanding of building structural systems. The ideal candidate is more than a drafter - they understand structural design intent, can proactively identify coordination issues before they become RFIs, and are capable of developing structural drawings and models with minimal direction from engineering staff. They will have a very strong understanding of Structural Engineering concepts and must demonstrate proficiency in Autodesk Revit (Structural) and AutoCAD.

Working closely with Structural Engineers, Project Managers, Architects, and other design disciplines, you will support projects from concept development through construction documentation and construction support across a variety of commercial, industrial, institutional, municipal, and mixed-use building projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop structural plans, sections, details, schedules, and construction document packages for a wide range of building projects.
• Create, maintain, and update detailed Structural Revit models and drawing sets throughout all phases of design and construction.
• Prepare structural detailing for steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, wood, and post-tensioned concrete systems.
• Collaborate with Structural Engineers to translate engineering calculations and design concepts into coordinated, buildable construction documents.
• Support the planning, design, and documentation of structural systems from schematic design through final construction documents.
• Coordinate with architects, consultants, and internal engineering disciplines to identify and resolve design conflicts, constructability concerns, and coordination issues early in the design process.
• Review project information and drawings to proactively identify discrepancies and potential RFIs before they impact construction.
• Interpret engineering intent and independently develop structural drawings with limited oversight.
• Incorporate redlines, markups, field conditions, and consultant feedback accurately and efficiently.
• Maintain project drawing files, BIM models, and documentation in accordance with company standards and quality control procedures.
• Utilize industry-standard software including Revit Structure, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Navisworks, and other modeling and coordination tools as required.
• Support project teams through design development, permit documentation, bidding, and construction administration phases.
• Ensure all deliverables meet established drafting standards, quality requirements, and project schedules.
• Deliver exceptional internal and external customer service through responsiveness, collaboration, and proactive problem-solving.

Qualifications

Required Experience

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Drafting, Design Technology, Architecture, Engineering Technology, or a related field preferred. Relevant experience may be substituted for education.
• Minimum 5+ years of experience producing structural construction documents for building projects.
• Demonstrated experience supporting structural engineering teams on commercial, industrial, institutional, municipal, healthcare, educational, mixed-use, or similar building projects.
• Strong experience developing structural drawings and details with minimal direction.
• Experience working on renovation, retrofit, rehabilitation, and new construction projects.
• Proven ability to coordinate effectively with engineers, architects, and multidisciplinary project teams.

Technical Skills

• Advanced proficiency in Structural Revit is required. Must demonstrate proficiency in Autodesk Revit (Structural).
• Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office.
• Experience with Navisworks, Tekla, or other BIM coordination and modeling tools is a plus.
• Thorough understanding of construction documentation standards and structural drafting practices.
• Strong knowledge of structural systems including:
• Structural steel
• Reinforced concrete
• Post-tensioned concrete
• Masonry
• Wood framing systems
• Ability to understand structural load paths, framing systems, and detailing requirements.
• Strong understanding of retrofit detailing and existing building modifications.

Desired Attributes

• Ability to understand and execute engineering design intent rather than simply drafting markups.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing technically accurate deliverables.
• Ability to identify coordination issues, constructability concerns, and potential RFIs before construction.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and time management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and drawing revisions simultaneously.
• Self-motivated professional who thrives in a collaborative engineering environment.
