CAD Designer VA

Job Summary:
We're excited to be adding a detail-oriented CAD Drafter to back the design and permitting process for an exciting new boutique property development project. The role involves turning hand-drawn 2D concepts and visual design references into accurate, professional CAD drawings ready for submission to local building authorities. The right person brings strong CAD software skills, an eye for architectural detail, and the ability to carry a client's vision into precise technical drawings.

Key Responsibilities:

• Turn client-provided 2D sketches and layout concepts into detailed CAD drawings
• Read mood boards and visual design references so technical drawings line up with the intended design vision
• Produce accurate floor plans, elevations, and renderings fit for building permit submission
• Work closely with the client to refine and revise drawings off their feedback
• See that all drawings meet the technical standards permit applications call for
• Iterate on designs as the project scope shifts
• Hold file versions tidy and revisions clearly documented
• Speak up proactively on progress, questions, and timelines

Mandatory Skills:

• Proven experience with CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD or similar drafting tools)
• Experience producing architectural or construction-related drawings (floor plans, elevations, renderings)
• Ability to carry rough sketches and visual references into precise technical drawings
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy, particularly for permit-ready documentation
• Dependable, precise, and able to work under your own direction
• Strong communication skills and responsiveness

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with hospitality, residential, or boutique property design
• Familiarity with international building codes or permit processes
• Grounding in architecture, engineering, or interior design
• At ease working on a flexible, shifting project scope

Why Join Us:
This is a chance to play a hands-on part in bringing a brand-new hospitality development to life from the ground up. You'll work directly with the property owner to shape the technical foundation of a meaningful project, with room to grow as the scope stretches. Enjoy flexible hours and a collaborative, low-red-tape working relationship.
