Architect — Design Coordination (Vulcan)
Role details
We are building a large set of evaluation tasks for the construction and property field. Each task starts from real drawings, documents and site photos, and asks for the same structured deliverable you would produce at work: an RFI response, a coordination comment set, a marked-up set. You author the task and the correct answer, and a second reviewer in your discipline checks it before it ships.
What you would be building Tasks drawn from real design and coordination work, including: architectural RFI response review, architectural set QC check, technical peer review, cross-sheet coordination review, constructability review, redline back-check, design change approval, addendum change scoping, as-built drawing production, pre-bid drawing scope review, drawing-set document control, commissioning design review, and shop drawing review for interiors, millwork and building envelope details.
Who we are looking for You currently hold, or recently held, the seat that produces and coordinates permit and construction drawing sets: architect of record, project architect, job captain, or design coordination lead. Licensed architect. In lieu of a license, 8 or more years as a project architect or job captain producing permit sets. 3 or more years in the seat, US based, working in US model code jurisdictions. We prefer 8 or more years. You can mark up drawing sets and details. Bluebeam Revu or equivalent.
What makes someone excellent here The hard part is not answering the RFI, it is knowing which cross-sheet conflict a rushed reviewer signs off on. Standouts have usually run set QC or back-check on other people's drawings, mentored job captains, maintained office standards or a detail library, or worked both sides of the RFI process as designer and as reviewer.
Probably not a fit CAD or BIM drafters without authorship of the set, renderers and visualization specialists, interior decorators, and PMs who coordinate schedules rather than drawings.
Paid hourly at $45 to $60 depending on experience, with a path to grow your rate as the project scales.
