- Collaborate with architects, engineers, and designers to interpret project requirements and translate concepts into technical drawings.
- Incorporate technical specifications, material details, and system components into drawings for construction purposes.
- Use visualization tools like SketchUp, 3ds Max (or similar), variousanimation software to produce compelling presentations and renderings.
- Review drawings for accuracy, compliance with building codes, safety standards, and client specifications before submission.
Qualifications
- Proven experience in architectural drafting or related fields with a strong portfolio demonstrating proficiency in CAD software such as AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, MicroStation, or Rhinoceros 3D.
- Familiarity with SketchUp, Bluebeam (for PDF markup), SolidWorks (for mechanical design), and other visualization or graphic design tools is highly desirable.
- Knowledge of schematics development, system design principles—including interior and mechanical systems—and construction documentation processes.
