We are seeking a Production Associate to join our growing design and production team. This role is a critical bridge between hands-on production and project leadership and is designed for experienced drafting professionals who are ready to take the next step into project management, mentoring, and workflow leadership.

As a Production Associate, you’ll work under the direct stewardship of a Production Manager and serve as a key resource for managing time-intensive design, drafting, and modeling efforts across assigned accounts and projects. This position offers the first formal opportunity to participate in managing projects, people, and production workflows, making it an ideal role for those looking to grow into leadership.

  • Partner with Production Managers and Project Managers to forecast and meet weekly production goals
  • Review construction documents for quality, accuracy, and adherence to company standards
  • Provide feedback and coaching opportunities to Designers to support continuous improvement

Drafting, Design & Plan Development

  • Prepare high-quality Construction Documents under management direction
  • Support advanced design efforts as assigned
  • Identify and escalate scope or content changes to the Project Manager
  • Contribute to product and process development through collaborative team efforts

Project Tracking & Communication

  • Maintain accurate logs of work performed
  • Track time, workload, and project status to support efficient workflows
  • Utilize project tracking software effectively
  • Communicate clearly and consistently with Project Managers and leadership regarding project status
  • Escalate pricing-related questions (outside of repeat work) to the Project Manager

Team Leadership, Mentorship & Training

  • Mentor and train Designers on software tools, client standards, and best practices
  • Support skill development and performance growth across the team
  • Assist management in assigning and reviewing production work for Designers and Specialists

Operational Excellence

  • Use available resources efficiently and effectively
  • Support team priorities and take on additional responsibilities as needed

What We’re Looking For

Qualifications

  • High School Diploma required; Associate’s Degree preferred
  • 3–5 years of professional drafting experience
  • Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, or discipline-specific design software
  • Strong experience preparing Construction Documents
  • Working knowledge of construction techniques and applicable building codes
  • Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite
  • Experience with NetSuite is a plus

Skills & Competencies

  • Ability to clearly communicate technical knowledge to Designers
  • Demonstrated leadership and mentoring capabilities
  • Strong organizational and time management skills
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
  • Proven ability to meet deadlines through prioritization and communication
  • Collaborative, supportive, and team-oriented mindset
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

Why This Role

This is more than a production role — it’s a career-building opportunity. You’ll gain hands-on leadership experience, influence project outcomes, and help develop the next generation of Designers while continuing to sharpen your technical expertise.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward project leadership and people development, we’d love to hear from you.
