Actalent Structural Drafter in Brea, California
Structural Drafter (Revit)
Location: Brea, CA (Onsite)
Build the Backbone of Real Projects
A well‑established structural engineering team is looking for a Structural Drafter who genuinely enjoys producing high‑quality drawings and being part of an engineer‑driven project environment. This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in clean documentation, enjoys collaborating with engineers in the office, and wants steady exposure to industrial and commercial structures.
This is not an architectural or civil drafting role—and it’s not a stepping stone to licensure. It’s a true production drafting position supporting real design and construction work.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll support structural engineers by turning calculations and redlines into coordinated, construction‑ready drawings.
Produce and update structural drawings in Revit (primary tool)
Translate engineer redlines into accurate plans, sections, and details
Support steel and concrete structural systems
Maintain drawing quality, consistency, and standards
Coordinate closely with engineers in a collaborative office setting
Balance multiple active projects in a production‑focused role
Projects typically include industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and manufacturing structures.
What We’re Looking ForRequired
Strong Revit experience (this is essential)
Structural drafting background (steel and/or concrete)
Ability to work from engineer direction with minimal supervision
High attention to detail and pride in drawing accuracy
Comfortable working onsite alongside engineers
Nice to Have (Not Required)
Industrial or heavy commercial project experience
Senior drafting background (10+ years)
Exposure to Revit automation, programming, or efficiency tools
We’re open to both Senior drafters and mid‑level drafters (3+ years) who are technically strong and eager to contribute.
What This Role Is (and Is Not)
A structural production drafting role
Hands‑on, Revit‑focused work
Long‑term, stable project backlog
Not an engineering position
Not architectural drafting
Not a licensure or PE track
Not remote‑only
Education & Licensure
No licensure required
No PE, SE, or certifications expected
Evaluated purely on drafting skill and Revit capability
Why This Role
Engineers value and rely on strong drafters here
Work is steady, technical, and meaningful
Clear expectations and hands‑on collaboration
Opportunity to be a long‑term contributor, not a stopgap
If you’re a structural drafter who enjoys producing drawings, working closely with engineers, and being in the heart of project execution, this role is worth a conversation.
