Junior Architectural CAD Drafter

This is a remote position.

Across Clocks is hiring a Junior Architectural CAD Drafter to support a U.S.-based architecture and engineering firm working primarily on residential and insurance-related projects.

This is a hands-on production drafting role focused on converting field measurements, hand-drawn sketches, dimensions, photos, and existing-condition information into accurate architectural drawings.

You will primarily work on floor plans, elevations, roof plans, site plans, and drawing revisions. The ideal candidate already has solid architectural drafting fundamentals and can produce accurate drawings without needing basic drafting concepts explained from scratch.

Experience with Chief Architect is preferred. Candidates with strong AutoCAD or similar CAD experience are encouraged to apply, as training can be provided on company-specific software, templates, and standards.

This is a part-time remote position with the potential to transition to full-time based on performance and workload.
