Production Drafter

Location: Spring Hill, FL (On-site)
Company: Holmes Drafting Services (HDS)
Reports to: Senior Designer or Production Manager

What This Role Is About

At HDS, drafting isn’t a back-office function—it’s the production floor. You’ll be responsible for turning project inputs into clear, code-ready plans that our clients and building departments can move forward with.

We work fast, with high expectations. This role is for someone who understands how drafting fits into the bigger picture: timelines, permitting, and real-world construction.

What You’ll Do

1. Draft Construction Documents

• Produce floor plans, elevations, sections, and site plans based on design notes, sketches, and reference materials.
• Use AutoCAD (or Revit where needed) to build accurate, clean files ready for permitting.

1. Handle Revisions + Redlines

• Update plans quickly and accurately based on internal and external feedback.
• Track changes to ensure clean version control and proper documentation.

1. Support Permit Submittals

• Ensure every plan meets local code requirements, HDS standards, and client scope.
• Coordinate with designers and engineers to catch issues early and streamline approvals.

1. Organize and Manage Files

• Maintain file naming standards, drawing templates, and block libraries.
• Keep everything structured, documented, and easy to find.

What Success Looks Like

• 30-45 day total project time (Draft – Sent to Engineer)
• High accuracy—<2 rounds of corrections per job
• Consistent on-time delivery
• Plans organized and QA-ready without prompting

What We’re Looking For

• Proficiency in AutoCAD
• Understanding of residential construction standards
• Attention to detail and pride in precision
• Comfortable working at pace and meeting deadlines
• Team mindset—willing to communicate, adapt, and support others

Why It Matters

Every project we deliver starts here. Strong drafting is what makes everything else—design, permits, construction—possible. We’re growing fast, and this role is a cornerstone of that momentum.
