Our small and dynamic Northwest Indiana (Hammond) office with primarily Chicago area projects is looking to expand. Projects include new single-family homes, rehabs/remodels, occasional multi-family buildings, supportive living facilities, restaurants & bars, retail, occasional industrial, offices, medical/dental, fitness centers, and similar projects. We primarily specialize in permit drawings that are approximately 10 sheets to the set including MEP, although we see much larger projects.
Work location is hybrid. We can work out a work-from-home arrangement with the ideal candidate after our roles, responsibilities, systems and processes are understood, and thereafter we would like to see you at least once per week in Hammond. The role primarily involves development of client-approved design drawings provided to you and completion of construction drawings.
The ideal candidate will possess most of the following skills and traits, although we are happy to train enthusiastic, long-term candidates willing to learn where there may be deficiencies in experience. Your clarification of specific experience will help us find you.
