  • Prepare floor plans, elevations, sections, details, and construction documentation.
  • Coordinate architectural drawings with structural information and consultant requirements.
  • Maintain consistency with established office drafting standards and project documentation practices.
  • Assist with permit and construction drawing production.
  • Perform drawing revisions throughout project development and construction documentation phases.
  • Communicate with the McAfee Architects team regarding project progress, questions, and technical coordination needs.
  • Review project information and reference drawings to ensure accuracy and completeness.
  • Support ongoing residential projects as workload demands fluctuate.
  • Manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
  • Maintain clear, timely, and consistent communication with the internal team.
  • Use short screen-share recordings to ask questions or flag issues, minimizing unnecessary meetings.
  • Collaborate to ensure alignment, progress, and on-time delivery.
  • Provide regular updates and meet agreed-upon milestones while maintaining quality standards.

What you'll need to know

  • A degree in Architecture or a related field.
  • Minimum 5 years of professional experience in architectural production.
  • Strong AutoCAD proficiency.
  • Strong SketchUp proficiency.
  • Previous U.S. residential architecture experience.
  • Experience producing DD and CD sets.
  • Ability to read and coordinate architectural and structural drawings.
  • Strong attention to detail and documentation standards.
  • Advanced English level.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills.
  • Ability to work efficiently under pressure while maintaining quality.
  • Clear, proactive, and consistent communication.

A great plus

  • Lumion experience.
  • Experience with custom luxury residential projects.
