Architectural Drafter - Job Opening - Sacramento, CA
Architectural Drafter
Type: Contract, freelance, or part-time — whatever fits you best
Location: Roseville, CA — on-site, hybrid, or remote can all work
About This Role
GVD Renovations & Remodeling designs and builds decks, additions, and full-home remodels across the greater Sacramento area. We're looking for an Architectural Drafter to turn our project concepts into clean, buildable plans — everything from deck layouts and framing details to remodel drawings that move smoothly through plan check.
Our project volume has outgrown our current drafting capacity, so we'd rather bring on the right person than rush the work. If you're a contractor, a freelancer, or someone after part-time hours, we're happy to shape the role around your availability. The priority is simple: accurate plans, delivered on schedule.
What You'll Work On
- Decking and outdoor-living plans, including framing and structural details
- Kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodel drawings
- Room additions and ADU construction documents
- Permit sets prepared for submission to local building departments
Day-to-Day
- Draft construction documents in Revit from designer notes, field measurements, and sketches
- Produce plan sets that meet California building codes and city requirements
- Turn around building-department corrections quickly and cleanly
- Coordinate with our project managers and designers to keep jobs moving
- Handle several projects at once without letting the details slip
What You'll Need
- Hands-on Revit experience (roughly 1–2 years or more)
- A background drafting residential remodels — deck and structural work is a strong plus
- Comfort reading and responding to plan-check corrections
- A solid grasp of how a complete construction document set comes together
- Dependable communication and the discipline to hit deadlines on your own
Nice to Have
- You've prepared permit-ready sets for California jurisdictions before
- You know your way around local deck, addition, and ADU requirements
- You're comfortable working independently with light oversight
Why GVD
- A steady stream of real projects — you won't be left waiting for work
- Flexible terms that fit contractors, freelancers, and part-time schedules
- A local, family-run team that's easy to collaborate with
- Pay that reflects your experience, hourly or per project
