Architectural Drafter

Description

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented architectural drafter & 3D visualizer to join our client's growing design team.

The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of building construction, a keen eye for architectural visualization (lighting, textures, and composition), and the ability to seamlessly move between technical drafting and creative rendering.

Job responsibilities

Technical drafting & modeling: Produce accurate, detailed architectural models and construction documentation (CD sets), including floor plans, elevations, sections, and details using Autodesk Revit.

3D visualization & rendering: Develop high-quality, photo-realistic interior and exterior 3D renderings, walkthroughs, and animations using 3ds Max (integrated with V-Ray, Corona, or similar render engines).

Collaboration: Work closely with architects, project managers, and interior designers to understand project requirements, incorporate redlines, and refine design concepts.

Asset & library management: Maintain and organize the firm’s Revit families, 3ds Max asset libraries, materials, and rendering templates to ensure workflow efficiency.

Quality control: Ensure all drawings and visualizations meet company standards, local building codes, and project specifications.

Post-production: Perform post-production editing on renderings using Adobe Photoshop to enhance lighting, add entourage, and refine final presentation materials.

Requirements

Education: Degree or diploma in architecture, architectural technology, drafting/design, or a related field.

Software expertise:

• Autodesk Revit: Advanced proficiency in building information modeling (BIM), creating families, and managing drawing sets.
• Autodesk 3ds Max: Advanced proficiency in 3D modeling, texturing, advanced lighting, and rendering.
• Adobe Creative Suite: Strong skills in Photoshop for rendering post-production.
• AutoCAD knowledge is a plus.

Technical knowledge: Strong understanding of architectural graphic standards, construction methods, building materials, and detailing.

Artistic eye: Excellent sense of scale, proportion, color, and composition to create compelling visual narratives.

Soft skills: Strong time-management skills with the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines. Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
