Technical Architect

About Us

We’re a Seattle-based team that specializes in residential permit sets and city/county submittals (ADUs/DADUs, remodels, additions, conversions). We move fast, sweat the details, and pride ourselves on getting approvals with minimal back-and-forth. We utilize as many ai tools that we find helpful and we're always open to new ideas. Our small team of 5 people meet every morning and enjoy getting to know each other while discussing updates on projects, expectations and upcoming events.

The Role

We’re hiring a Technical Architect to lead the production of highly accurate permit drawings and coordinate submittals with jurisdictions across the Washington State. You’ll own drawing quality, code notes, and coordination with reviewers—bringing clarity and momentum to each project.

What You'll Do

• Lead production of complete residential permit sets in Revit (existing conditions, demo, plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules).
• Create clean site plans , floor plans, elevations, schedules, height diagrams, basic grading callouts, and sheet sets aligned to city/county standards.
• Coordinate with Structural and Civil engineer drawing sets as well as implement the survey or geotechnical information into the plan set.
• Prepare code summaries and notes (IRC/IBC as applicable; WSEC-R energy forms) and jurisdiction-specific checklist items.
• Mark up drawings and run QA/coordination in Bluebeam Revu .
• Manage corrections: respond to plan-review comments, revise sheets, and re-submit via portals (SDCI Seattle Services Portal, MyBuildingPermit , ProjectDox, King County, Snohomish, etc.).
• Coordinate with consultants (structural, survey, arborist) and integrate their markups/details.
• Mentor junior drafters; maintain Revit templates, families, and drawing standards.
• Communicate clearly with PMs and clients regarding scope, timelines, and needed decisions.

Must Have

• 6+ years professional Revit experience producing residential or light commercial construction/permit documents.
• Desire to learn is an absolute must. If this description does not fit you, I encourage you not to apply.
• new things that are not typical of an architecture firm. We get projects done fast and need someone who is efficient with time but enjoys knocking out 1 to 2 projects a week.
• Pleasant attitude
• Strong command of residential assemblies and details (framing, decks/ledger, guard/handrail, egress, smoke/CO layout, insulation & glazing, stair geometry).
• Clear written communication and meticulous sheet organization.

Nice To Have

• Experience in Bluebeam Revu (markups, sets, compare).
• Experience using chatgbt or similar
• Experience taking a set from intake → submittal → corrections → approval.
• Familiarity with Seattle/King/Snohomish review processes and checklists.
• Experience with energy code worksheets (e.g., 2021 WSEC-R ).
• Comfort with laser/LiDAR as-builts, point clouds, or field verification workflows.
• Coordination in Monday.com or similar PM tools.

Employment Details

• Full-time (40 hrs/wk) with core collaboration hours overlapping PST .
• Benefits: paid holidays + 2 weeks of vacation annually.
• Location: remote (must maintain reliable overlap with PST and U.S. jurisdictions we serve).
• Compensation: Competitive salary ($1000 - $1200) DOE

Please Provide

1. Resume (PDF), 2) Portfolio or 1–2 recent Revit permit sets (PDFs; redact as needed), 3) Brief note on your role in each set
