Structural Drafter
Not every drafting role gives you exposure to the kinds of projects engineers spend years trying to get onto.
A well-respected multidisciplinary consulting firm is looking for a Structural Drafter/Designer to join its Portland team. This is an opportunity to work alongside structural engineers, architects, and specialty consultants on a diverse mix of building projects spanning commercial, healthcare, institutional, industrial, civic, and specialty facilities.
If you're tired of being stuck on the same project type, buried in redlines, or treated as a production resource, this role offers something different: visibility, variety, and a clear path to grow your technical skills.
What You'll Be Doing
- Produce structural construction documents using Revit and AutoCAD
- Develop building framing plans, details, and project documentation
- Collaborate directly with engineers throughout design and construction
- Support multiple project teams across a wide range of building types
- Maintain high-quality deliverables while working in a fast-paced environment
- Contribute to projects from concept through final documentation
What They're Looking For
- 3+ years of structural drafting/design experience
- Strong proficiency with Revit and AutoCAD
- Experience producing structural drawings for buildings
- Understanding of BIM workflows and construction documents
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with project teams
- Technical degree preferred but not required
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Exposure to projects many firms reserve for senior staff
- Diverse workload that prevents you from being pigeonholed into one sector
- Collaborative engineering environment with multiple disciplines under one roof
- Modern, flexible workplace with a strong emphasis on professional development
- Stable pipeline of work and long-term career growth opportunities
For drafters looking to elevate their experience beyond repetitive production work and gain exposure to high-profile building projects, opportunities like this don't stay open for long.
