Residential Drafter / Permit Plan Designer, In-Office (Largo, FL)

OverviewAbout us

Fe3 Construct is a Central Florida general contractor (CGC1538369) building custom steel-frame homes, barndominiums, ICF, and hybrid systems, plus commercial work. We want to handle pre-construction in-house: custom floor plans, design, and permit-ready documentation. We need a drafter who can take a project from concept to a plan set the building department will approve.

What you’ll do

• Produce complete, permit-ready construction drawings for custom residential projects: floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plans, foundation plans, details, and site plans
• Turn client concepts and our SketchUp design models into clean CAD plan sets
• Coordinate with structural engineers, energy/HVAC designers (Manual J/D/S), and surveyors to put together full permit packages
• Make drawings compliant with the Florida Building Code (Residential), including wind-load and flood-zone requirements
• Respond to building department plan review comments and run client revisions
• Keep drawing standards, title blocks, and sheet sets consistent across projects

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years drafting residential construction documents that were actually permitted, ideally in Florida
• Strong in [AutoCAD / Revit / Chief Architect]; SketchUp is a plus
• Working knowledge of the Florida Building Code and how plan review works
• Understands how buildings go together: framing, foundations, roof systems. Metal building, ICF, or steel-frame experience is a big plus
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage several projects at once without missing deadlines
• Takes markups and plan review comments without ego and turns revisions around quickly

Nice to have

• Associate’s degree or certificate in drafting, architectural technology, or similar
• Experience coordinating with engineers on wind and structural details
• Familiarity with energy code compliance documentation
• Kitchen, cabinetry, or closet layout experience

What we offer

• Either Salary or Project based pay.
• Steady project pipeline, currently selling 3-5 preconstruction agreements per month
• Direct line to the builders. You’ll see your drawings get built.
• Office in Largo, FL. This is an in-office role.
