Paradigm Engineers and Constructors is an SDVOSB Architecture/Engineering/Interiors design firm specializing in Healthcare Facility Design primarily for the Department of Veterans Affairs facilities across the nation.

Our Engineering and Architecture staff members have extensive experience in all facets of design and project management including residential, commercial, and industrial arenas in addition to serving our VA clients. Paradigm is also a leading entity in Physical Security, Force Protection and Anti-Terrorism / Blast Engineering and the integration of such measures into aesthetically pleasing designs for Government and Private clients nationwide.

Paradigm Engineers and Constructors is actively recruiting an Architectural Designer/Drafter to support current staff in the Oklahoma City branch office in production of a multitude of projects involving site, building and interior designs for new and existing facilities. This is a new position for the firm as a result of business growth as Paradigm expands into more areas across the nation.

This role is best suited for someone who is:

• Experienced in producing working construction drawings using the latest AutoCAD software. Revit experience is a plus but not required. The position will require setting up new project drawings, formatting existing as well as drafting new base plans from as-built site measurements, and compiling relevant project detail, section, wall section and schedule sheets for design projects.
• Seeking more than simply picking up red-lines from design staff, but also familiar with building and drafting standards and brings insight and experience to assist in design development and drawing production.
• Willing to travel. Paradigm has a proven record and significant future project backlog in VA Medical Center projects across the nation, requiring design staff to travel periodically to perform as-built site verification, measurements and design/construction progress meetings. The applicant should be willing to assist design staff in on-site activities, with trips usually only lasting one day on site. GSA reimbursement applies to all travel.
• Able to self-manage, self-teach and work independently of constant oversight. Position will be a mix of in-office work, remote work (home or other), and requires coordination with designers and engineers across all of Paradigm’s offices.
• Devoted & Loyal - we are a small team; we only succeed if we support each other.

Position Skills & Requirements:

• Demonstrate working knowledge of AutoCAD: setting up sheet files, references, working drawings.
• Autodesk Revit required.
• While a knowledge of building codes, accessibility standards and government requirements are not specifically required, the applicant should demonstrate the ability to research codes, product information and other aides to assist in design development and drafting production.
• Demonstrate experience with technical design, planning, presentation, and tasks.
• Proactively keep the manager informed of work status and seeks clarification where appropriate.
• Have and maintain a clean record. Certain projects will require background checks and badging for access to government facilities.

Compensation will be commensurate with experience and is expected to keep both employee and employer motivated to continue working together long-term.
