We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented RevitStructural Drafter to join our engineering and design team. In this role, you will be responsible for translating engineering concepts and sketches into precise structural construction documents using CAD and BIM software. Distinct from a traditional drafting role, you will use your understanding of structural mechanics to perform preliminary calculations, layout load paths, and detail complex assemblies for both light-frame wood construction and reinforced concrete structures.
WE WILL REQUEST A VOICE NOTE FOR THE SCREENING PROCESS.
Requirements
Desirable knowledge & skills:
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
Experience:2 to 5+ years of structural drafting experience with a proven track record in wood and concrete.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and structural analysis software (e.g., Enercalc, RISA, WoodWorks, or RAM).
Licensing: EIT preferred; SE/PE track is a plus.
Traits: Strong attention to detail, proactive problem-solving, and clear communication skills.
CAD/BIM Proficiency: Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit Structure.
Engineering Tools: Familiarity with basic structural calculators or engineering software modules (e.g., Enercalc, WoodWorks, or similar sizing software) is highly desirable.
Code Familiarity: General understanding of building codes (such as IBC and IRC) and basic familiarity with material standards like ACI (concrete) and NDS (wood).
Soft Skills Required:
Spatial Comprehension: Excellent ability to visualize 3D structural configurations from 2D architectural concepts.
Mathematical Aptitude: Strong fundamental math skills to accurately handle dimensional layouts and basic component calculation inputs.
Analytical Eye: Exceptional attention to detail, specifically regarding material specifications, structural symbols, and callouts.
Professionalism: Professional attitude and ethical behavior.
Communication: Solid written and verbal communication skills.
Proactiveness.
Multitasking skills: Comfortable with quickly switching gears and focus, moving from different tasks seamlessly.
Analytical skills: Ability to use a solid analytical approach to solve complex issues.
Organization skills and attention to detail: Ability to self-organize given activities and keep a thorough record of tasks, pointers and process updates.
Risk identification: Ability to identify pain points, bottlenecks, scope creeps and process improvement opportunities.
Prioritization skills: Ability to identify, establish and assign priorities.
Compliance: Ability to comply when necessary; following orders or specific instructions if needed.
Reliability: Ability to follow up and see tasks through to completion by committing to the project they’re involved in.
Main Responsibilities:
Perform structural calculations for gravity, lateral, foundation, and retaining systems.
Design wood-frame assemblies (shear walls, joists, beams) and reinforced concrete elements (foundations, slabs, columns).
Develop detailed structural plans, sections, and framing details using AutoCAD and Revit.
Coordinate designs with architects, engineers, and project leads to ensure constructability.
Ensure strict compliance with building codes including IBC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, and NDS.
Benefits:
Paid extra hours.
USD competitive payment.
International experience.
100% remote
Full-time position
