  • Reviewing and adapting plans and facades for buildability, compliance and cost-efficiency
  • Spotting issues fast and improving designs without compromising quality
  • Collaborating with drafting, estimating, and construction teams
  • Working at pace and cranking out quality designs

What you bring

  • A sharp design eye and a genuine love for great residential design
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in project or volume building
