Pinnacle Health Services –AutoCAD Assistant – Job Description

Summary

The AutoCAD Assistant supports the operations and management teams by reviewing architectural blueprints and conducting precise AutoCAD measurements and surface-area take-offs for properties serviced by the company. This role focuses on architectural drawings—not mechanical or electrical plans—and plays a key role in verifying square footage, material quantities, and serviceable areas to support job costing, estimating, and operational analysis across janitorial, maintenance, and concierge contracts. When drawings are unavailable, the AutoCAD Assistant may perform on-site measurements at client facilities to ensure the accuracy of building data used for pricing, staffing, and productivity planning.

Primary Job Responsibilities:

Blueprint Review & AutoCAD Measurement

• Review and interpret architectural drawings and floor plans to identify and calculate usable square footage, material quantities, and area classifications (e.g., common spaces, offices, amenities, parking areas).
• Perform detailed AutoCAD measurements and surface-area take-offs to support proposal development, pricing models, and operational benchmarking.
• Update and maintain accurate AutoCAD files and project documentation for all client properties.
• Verify drawing accuracy and report any discrepancies or missing information to the operations or project management teams.

Operational & Estimating Support

• Provide data that supports job costing, staffing models, and time-and-motion studies for service delivery.
• Collaborate with sales, estimating, and operations to translate drawing measurements into actionable service scopes.
• Assist in developing visual exhibits, diagrams, and measurement summaries for client proposals and presentations.
• Track, document, and maintain a digital database of verified square footage and related metrics for each client site.

Field Measurement & Site Verification

• Visit client properties when blueprints are unavailable or outdated to collect field measurements and confirm layouts.
• Perform on-site assessments using measurement tools and compare findings with available drawings.
• Coordinate access with property management teams to ensure safety and minimal disruption during site visits.
• Report findings and update AutoCAD files with verified dimensions and layout changes.

Collaboration & Documentation

• Work cross-functionally with operations, sales, and finance to ensure measurement data aligns with service pricing and contract expectations.
• Maintain organized digital archives of drawings, take-off files, and field verification reports.
• Communicate clearly with internal teams regarding updates, inconsistencies, or opportunities to improve data accuracy.

Requirements:

• Associate’s degree or certification in Drafting, Architecture, Construction Management, or related field; Bachelor’s degree preferred.
• 1–3 years of experience using AutoCAD for architectural drawing review or space analysis.
• Familiarity with commercial, residential, and mixed-use property layouts.
• Strong understanding of square footage verification, surface-area take-offs, and blueprint reading.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel for compiling and analyzing measurement data.
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and accuracy in both digital and field work.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across departments.
• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel locally for site visits as required.
