Job description
Arise Homes is a new home builder and developer dedicated to quality, affordable homes. We're a dynamic, customer-focused team helping families find their dream home--and we're looking for someone who enjoys both the technical craft of drafting (Revit/AutoCAD) and the follow-through of getting projects approved. In this role, you'll split your time roughly 60% drafting and 40% coordinating permits with cities, counties, engineers, and surveyors. If you love precise drawings as much as you love checking a box off a list, this is a great fit. HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT
- Prepare plot plans, site plans, and lot-specific drawings (setbacks, grading references, utility locations) in AutoCAD, coordinating with land development and civil engineering drawings
- Update and maintain Revit family libraries, templates, and standard details across Arise’s home plan portfolio.
- Assemble and submit permit applications (building, utility) to city/county building departments for single-family lots and multi-family projects.
- Perform preliminary zoning and code checks (setbacks, lot coverage, height limits, easements) before submittal to catch issues early.
- Maintain a permit tracking log/database showing submittal dates, review status feed, and issuance for all active lots and phases.
- Build and maintain relationships with city and county staff for smooth, effective communication.
- Perform other duties as assigned. ABOUT YOU
- High school diploma or GED required; Associate degree in drafting, architectural design, construction management or related field preferred - but not required if you have hands-on experience.
- Proficiency in Revit required. AutoCAD experience strongly preferred.
- 1+ years of experience in residential drafting/design, homebuilding, or permit coordination. We're open to candidates who are strong in one area (drafting or permitting) and eager to grow into the other.
- Working knowledge of residential building codes (IRC) and local zoning/subdivision requirements is a plus, not a must-have on day one -- we'll train the right person.
- Comfortable reading civil engineering plans, surveys, plats, and grading plans (or willing to learn).
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to track permit status across many lots/jurisdictions at once.
- High attention to detail and accuracy in drawings, calculations, and documentation.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office; familiarity with construction management or permit tracking software a plus.
- A people-person who is comfortable building relationships with city staff, engineers, and internal teams.
- Self-motivated, positive, and open to professional growth within the team. BENEFITS
- Comprehensive Employee Benefit Package
- Competitive compensation with potential for profit sharing
- Opportunities to advance within a growing company
- 401k Retirement Plan with Company Match
- Paid Time Off Policy MORE THAN A JOB
- Access to professional and personal training, lunch and learns, leadership workshops and other development opportunities.
- Opportunities provided to serve within the community.
- Access to Counseling services, solo retreats
- Company sponsored vision trips
- Quarterly staff meetings and all-staff events
- $500 company match to non-profit
- A supportive team environment that values collaboration and growth. REPORTING RELATIONSHIP The Permit Technician/Draftsman reports to the Operations Manager. JOB HOURS This is a full-time position between the hours of 8am – 5pm Monday through Friday. #ZR
