Revit Drafter
We are seeking a Revit Drafter to design modular commercial and industrial buildings from concept through construction in our collaborative South Whitley, IN office. This role operates within a flat engineering and design structure, allowing you to manage projects from start to finish with support from engineering leadership as needed.
Responsibilities
- Receive and review client drawings—from simple sketches to detailed foundation and architectural plans—and translate them into complete modular building designs.
- Create full, working plan sets for commercial modular construction that meet customer requirements and state approval standards in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
- Develop construction documents primarily using Revit (approximately 99% of designs), ensuring all drawings are accurate, coordinated, and ready for client review.
- Incorporate structural, MEP, and architectural elements into modular designs, aligning with project specifications and construction practices.
- Submit construction documents to clients for review, incorporate feedback, and make necessary adjustments to finalize design packages.
- Prepare and organize documentation required for code approvals from state agencies across multiple states, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.
- Apply ICC Building Code knowledge to verify that all designs meet relevant building codes and standards for safety and performance.
- Collaborate closely with the construction team, providing clarification and design support as projects move from design into construction.
- Visit the adjacent shop as needed to answer questions, observe fabrication activities, and ensure designs are practical and buildable.
- Interact professionally with customers, co-workers, and state agencies, maintaining clear communication and strong working relationships.
- Assist with review of shop drawings as needed to confirm alignment with design intent and project specifications.
- Manage project documentation using Excel, maintaining accurate records and tracking information throughout the project lifecycle.
- Participate in a collaborative drafting department of approximately five team members, contributing to a positive, production-focused culture.
Skills & Qualifications
- Proficiency in Revit, including the ability to create accurate drawings and full construction document sets within the software.
- Strong drafting and design skills with experience producing construction documents for building projects.
- Ability to work with BIM workflows and coordinate structural, architectural, and MEP elements in a unified model.

- Experience in the construction industry, either in design, BIM, or hands-on construction, with an understanding of how buildings are assembled and the processes involved.
- Familiarity with modular construction and its unique design and documentation requirements.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, production-focused environment while maintaining attention to detail.
- Interest in career growth into leadership roles, with opportunities to advance as the engineering and drafting team expands over the next 3–5 years.
- Ability to manage projects from initial concept through construction, maintaining continuity and familiarity with each project.
- Adaptability to work with a variety of building materials, including wood, steel, and concrete block.
