Full Job Description

Overview
We are looking for a mid-level Design Technician / Permit Coordinator who can wear multiple hats. This is not a pure drafting role, nor a pure paperwork role — we need someone who understands the full flow from design concept through permitted construction documents. You will work directly alongside our owner and project managers, architects and engineers to produce construction drawings, documents, navigate Whatcom County and city permitting processes, and help keep projects moving forward through the review cycle.

If you know Whatcom County's permitting process, have a feel for the International Building Code and Washington State amendments, and can produce clean BIM documentation in Revit — this role was designed for you.

Responsibilities

Produce commercial construction documents in Autodesk Revit, including floor plans, elevations, sections, details, and schedules
Coordinate and submit permit applications to Whatcom County Planning & Development Services, City of Bellingham, and other local jurisdictions
Track active permits and plan review comments; prepare written responses and revised submittals
Research applicable building codes including IBC, IRC, IFC, Washington State amendments, and local ordinances
Collaborate with architects, engineers, other consultants, and the project team to ensure coordinated document sets.
Review Civil CAD files for accuracy and evaluation of projects total volumes and look for value engineering options.
Assist with design development and owner-facing presentations for commercial projects
Manage project files and documentation within our Microsoft 365 / SharePoint environment
Support project managers in helping and identifying permit-related risks early for project feasibility and other potential project cost.

Requirements

3–5 years of experience in architectural drafting, design, or permit coordination in a commercial construction or design context
Proficiency in Autodesk Revit (BIM) — this is a core requirement, not a nice-to-have
Working knowledge of the International Building Code (IBC) and Washington State Building Code
Experience submitting to and working with Whatcom County and/or City of Bellingham Building & Planning departments
Strong organizational skills and ability to track multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
Solid written communication skills for permit correspondence and plan review responses
Comfortable working in Microsoft 365 including Teams, SharePoint, Word, and Excel

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with submitting documents to the various agencies within Whatcom County.
Familiarity with AutoCAD as a secondary tool
Knowledge of commercial site work, tenant improvement, and new construction permitting workflows
Experience coordinating with civil engineers, structural engineers, and fire marshals
LEED AP or familiarity with Washington State energy code (WSEC) is a plus

Pay: $60,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Health insurance
Health savings account
Paid time off
Retirement plan
Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
