Residential Designer / Drafter — Building Storeys: Residential Design, Drafting and Consulting

Saskatoon Area — Local applicants only.

Building Storeys is looking for an experienced Residential Designer / Drafter .

You must live in the Saskatoon area. Although this is primarily a work-from-home position, you will be required to meet clients on site in and around Saskatoon , attend occasional site visits, and take measurements or gather information needed for projects.

We design homes, cabins, additions, garages, suites and other residential spaces throughout Saskatchewan. Our work sits at the intersection of thoughtful design, art, building science, NBCC, creativity, working with the surrounding environment and function .

I'm looking for someone who can take an idea and run with it — someone who enjoys solving problems, understands how buildings actually go together, and gets excited about turning a sketch or a client's vision into a thoughtful, buildable design.

What you'll be doing:

Residential design and drafting using AutoCAD

Developing preliminary designs and construction drawings

Creating 3D models and renderings to help clients visualize their projects

Navigating the National Building Code and Saskatchewan building requirements

Working with energy-code and building-science requirements

Reviewing and applying municipal zoning bylaws

Preparing permit and construction drawings

Researching code and finding practical solutions when things aren't straightforward

Attending client meetings and site visits





Taking site measurements and gathering existing-building information

Working through design challenges and figuring out how to make a project work

Communicating ideas visually and technically

Collaborating with me throughout the design and drafting process

What I'm looking for:
Experience & technical skills

6+ years of experience in residential design, drafting, architecture, engineering or construction

A diploma or technical education in Architectural Technology, Engineering Technology, Drafting, Design or a related field — or equivalent experience

Strong proficiency in AutoCAD

Experience with 3D modelling and rendering

Robust understanding of residential construction and how buildings are put together

Ability to read, interpret and apply the National Building Code

Familiarity with energy codes and building-science principles

Ability to research and interpret municipal zoning bylaws

Proficiency with Microsoft Office

Experience with Revit or other BIM/design platforms would be an asset

The person I'm looking for:
You don't need to know everything — but you do need to know how to find the answer.

You are:

Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture





Comfortable working independently

Able to manage your time and projects while working remotely

A strong written and verbal communicator

Comfortable collaborating virtually

Curious and willing to keep learning

Positive, kind and solutions-oriented

Someone who takes pride in their work

Someone who can give and receive constructive feedback

Someone who enjoys sharing knowledge and helping others learn

Leadership experience is an asset , and there may be opportunities to take on more responsibility and help guide future team members as the business grows.

This will start as a casual, part-time position with the potential to grow as the business grows.

Starting wage $35/hr but willing to negotiate based on experience

Saskatoon area — required

Primarily work from home

Flexible hours

Casual to start

Hours will vary depending on projects

Occasional client meetings and site visits

Opportunity for more hours and responsibility as we build the right working relationship

This isn't a huge corporate design firm, It's a small, creative business where your ideas matter, you'll have a voice in the design process, and you'll work directly with me and our clients.
