Remote MEP Drafter

We are seeking a skilled MEP Residential Drafter Assistant to join our team. The role involves creating and editing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings using Revit. The ideal candidate will have experience in drafting MEP for homes in California and be able to work independently. Responsibilities include preparing and revising drawings, ensuring accuracy and compliance with standards, and collaborating with engineers to incorporate design changes.

In this role, you will focus on producing detailed designs that meet stringent California energy efficiency standards (Title 24, Part 6), CALGreen requirements, and local amendments to the California Building, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Codes.

You will collaborate closely with mechanical engineering lead, architects, and structural engineers to deliver coordinated, constructible, and energy-efficient MEP systems using Revit and other BIM tools.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical (HVAC), electrical (power, lighting, low-voltage), and plumbing systems from schematic design through construction documents and construction administration phases.

• Perform load calculations, equipment selection, duct/pipe sizing, lighting calculations, and power distribution design using industry-standard software (e.g., HAP, Trace 700, ElumTools, AGI32, etc.).

• Ensure full compliance with California Title 24, Part 6 (Energy Code) — including prescriptive and performance paths, electric-ready buildings, heat pump integration, solar PV readiness, and ventilation standards.

• Support energy modeling efforts and prepare Title 24 compliance documentation (NRCC forms, certificates of compliance).

• Experience in Mechanical Engineering Design and Drafting.

• Strong working knowledge of California Title 24 (especially Part 6 Energy Code).

• Proficiency in Revit MEP (BIM modeling) — required; experience with AutoCAD a plus.
• Familiarity with energy modeling tools (CBECC-Res, EnergyPro, IESVE, etc.) strongly preferred.
