- Ability to complete assigned drawings independently, identify technical issues and incorporate the lead architect’s review without requiring every detail to be drawn for you.
- Accuracy, responsiveness and the ability to deliver reliable documentation within a compressed project schedule.
- Availability for approximately 30 hours per week during the first four weeks, followed by approximately 10 hours per week for two weeks of revisions.
- Availability to work agreed project hours within the team’s U.S. Eastern Time working window, approximately 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
