The Designer owns Draft 2 — converting approved shop drawings and site-captured dimensions into fabrication-ready packages. Working under the Design Lead, the Designer takes site-dimension input, develops panel design to fabrication-ready detail, and produces fabrication tickets, framing and release packages, and material quantities. The role applies a working knowledge of the company's panelized cladding systems (Elemex & OP), documents site-driven design changes through RFIs, and coordinates closely with Coordinators, the dimensioning and site teams, and the Project Manager who outlines each deliverable.
Duties and Responsibilities
1. Detailed Design & Site-Dimension Input
- Officially initiate detailed design alongside Coordinators following the post-measuring handoff.
- Take site-dimension input and review it against the approved design.
- Convert approved drawings and site dimensions into fabrication-ready panel design, including veneer/material layout.
- Request additional information from the Dimensioning and Site Installation teams as needed.
- Create RFIs to document design changes or additions arising from site conditions; routed to the client through the PM, who explains cost and scheduling implications.
2. Fabrication & Release Packages
- Create fabrication tickets; have them checked by a Coordinator or Senior Designer before release.
- Produce the release package — fab tickets, install and highlighted drawings, flashing and miscellaneous install orders.
- Create framing drawings and steel order forms as required.
- Produce material quantities and takeoffs, including backup materials and parts for non-standard conditions.
3. Quality, Shipping & Closeout
- Create packing lists and coordinate the packing plan with the Shop.
- Support shipping inspection, QC inspection, and labeling.
- Create as-builts at closeout (Drafting Supervisor accountable; Designer responsible for producing them).
4. Learning & Development
- Build deeper knowledge of panelized cladding systems, materials, and fabrication methods.
- Be consulted on material substitutions and difficult details, learning from the Design Lead's review.
Skills and Competencies
- Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and relevant 3D modeling tools for panel design.
- Ability to interpret approved shop drawings and site-dimension scans and translate them into fabrication-ready detail.
- Strong knowledge of panelized cladding systems, framing, flashing, and fabrication processes.
- High accuracy in fabrication tickets, release packages, and material quantities.
- Effective coordination with Coordinators, the dimensioning and site teams, and the Project Manager.
- Ability to manage multiple release packages and deadlines.
Qualifications
- Completion of a two-to-three-year college program in architectural technology or a related field.
- Drafting and detailing experience with panelized facade or comparable fabrication-ready design is an asset.
