The GEM Creed
At GEM, we believe good work comes from good people who are trusted to do things the right way.
We’re not trying to build a stiff, corporate, meeting-heavy company where everyone is buried in noise all day. We’re building a place where talented people can focus, grow, enjoy the work, and feel proud of what they produce.
We take our projects seriously. We do not take ourselves too seriously.
Our work requires accuracy, patience, curiosity, and attention to detail. Existing buildings are messy. Point clouds are dense. Field conditions are not always obvious. That’s exactly why our work matters. We help project teams start with the truth instead of assumptions.
At GEM, we value people who:
- Care about doing quality work
- Ask smart questions
- Communicate clearly
- Take ownership
- Stay calm under pressure
- Treat people with respect
- Want to keep getting better
We do not believe in drama, ego, blame, or making work harder than it needs to be. We believe in clear expectations, honest communication, useful feedback, and giving people room to do their best work.
If you want to grow with a company that is easygoing, focused, rewarding, and serious about treating people right, you may fit in well here.
Who We Are
GEM provides Drafting, 3D Scanning, BIM for contractors, architects, engineers, developers, facility owners, and construction teams.
Our work includes:
- Architectural as-built drawings
- Existing conditions documentation
- Point cloud drafting
- Scan-to-BIM
- Revit modeling
- Construction coordination support
We help our clients reduce uncertainty, avoid rework, and make better decisions before construction begins.
Simple as that.
Who You Are
You are someone who enjoys turning real-world building information into clean, accurate drawings.
You do not need to be flashy. You do not need to call yourself a rockstar. We are not looking for that.
We are looking for someone who is thoughtful, detail-oriented, steady, and motivated to grow.
You should be comfortable working independently, checking your own work, and communicating when something does not make sense. We value people who can think through a problem instead of just tracing lines on a screen.
The right person for this role takes pride in accuracy.
About the Role
The Architectural Drafter will create accurate as-built drawings and existing conditions documentation from point clouds, field measurements, Matterport scans, laser scans, photos, sketches, and other project information.
You will work primarily in Revit and use point cloud data to document real existing conditions for a wide range of building types.
This is a contract to direct hire opportunity for someone who wants to grow with GEM and become part of the team long-term.
What You’ll Do
- Create accurate architectural as-built drawings from point clouds, field measurements, photos, and scan data
- Draft floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections, and existing conditions documentation
- Work with 3D laser scan data to verify walls, doors, windows, ceilings, openings, stairs, and building features
- Produce clean, organized drawings in Revit
- Convert field data into professional existing conditions plans and construction documentation
- Review drawings for accuracy, consistency, and completeness
- Coordinate with project managers, scan technicians, and internal drafting/BIM team members[11:55 AM]- Identify missing information, unclear conditions, or conflicts and communicate questions clearly
- Follow GEM drawing standards, file organization standards, and documentation procedures
- Support scan-to-BIM and architectural modeling workflows when needed
What You Should Bring
- Experience drafting architectural as-builts, existing conditions drawings, or construction documentation
- Strong Revit skills
- Experience working with point clouds
- Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, field notes, photos, and scan data
- Strong attention to detail
- Understanding of walls, doors, windows, ceilings, stairs, openings, and general building components
- Ability to manage deadlines and multiple projects
- Clear communication skills
- A problem-solving mindset
- A willingness to learn and improve
Helpful Experience
Experience with any of the following is a plus:
- Autodesk ReCap
- Trimble RealWorks
- Matterport
- Bluebeam
- Scan-to-BIM workflows
- Commercial, residential, healthcare, educational, industrial, or renovation projects
- Construction documentation standards
- Architecture, construction, BIM, or reality capture
How We Work
We try to keep work clear, calm, and productive.
That means:
- We communicate directly
- We avoid unnecessary drama
- We ask questions early
- We respect people’s time
- We give people room to focus
- We care more about quality than looking busy
- We believe good work should be noticed and appreciated
We are easygoing, but we are not careless.
We are flexible, but we still care about deadlines.
We are fun to work with, but we take pride in doing professional work that clients can trust.
That balance matters to us.
