Our Design team is growing here at rcs construction inc.! We are looking for an Interior Design Draftsperson to join our team. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys turning creative concepts into accurate, construction-ready drawings while working collaboratively across a variety of commercial projects.

How you’ll spend your day:
- Prepare architectural drawings, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and construction details.

- Produce exterior site plans that show building layouts, parking areas, walkways, landscaping coordination, and overall site relationships.
- Translate design concepts, sketches, and redlines into clear, accurate, and construction-ready documents.
- Coordinate drawings with structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, and landscape consultants.
- Revise drawings based on client feedback, code requirements, and permit review comments.
- Maintain organized and accurate drawing sets throughout each phase of a project.
- Review and interpret architectural, engineering, and design documents to support coordinated project delivery.
- Collaborate with Pre-construction, Estimating, Project Management, clients, subtrades, and suppliers.
- Contribute ideas to the Design team and support other departmental priorities as needed.
What will help you thrive:
- A diploma in Architectural Drafting or a related field.
- Five years of professional drafting experience, preferably working with an interior designer or architect.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp.
- Experience preparing architectural, interior design, and exterior site planning drawings.
- Strong knowledge of drafting standards, construction documentation, building codes, accessibility requirements, and basic zoning considerations.
- The ability to read and interpret architectural, engineering, and design documents.
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with minimal supervision.
- Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with internal teams and external project partners.
- Commitment to and alignment with rcs’ core values: Accountability, Communication, and Teamwork (A.C.T.).
Why you'll love it here:
- Our Team: Genuine, down-to-earth people who care about each other and the work they do
- Our Leadership: Approachable and appreciative, with a true open-door philosophy and a commitment to supporting every team member
- Summer hours
