Architect

About the role

California Home Company is a Sacramento builder that designs and builds homes from concept to completion: land, design, permitting, construction and after-care under one team. Our work spans custom single-family homes, ADUs, duplexes, additions and remodels across Northern California.

We are looking for an Architectural Designer who is confident in Revit to prepare architectural drawings and permit-ready documentation for our US residential projects. You will work remotely with our architects, project managers and founders through online tools and video calls.

This role is not a fit for graphic designers, web designers, interior designers or 3D visualizers. We need someone who produces architectural drawings and construction documents.

What you'll do

• Prepare complete drawing sets in Revit to our company standards and templates: site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections and details.
• Research zoning and code for each lot: setbacks, lot coverage, FAR, height limits and ADU rules under the California Residential Code (CRC), California Building Code (CBC) and local requirements.
• Prepare permit drawings and permit packages for city and county building departments.
• Work through architect redlines and plan-check comments, and issue revised sheets.
• Coordinate drawings with structural and civil engineers and Title 24 energy consultants.
• Work on single-family homes, ADUs, garage conversions and duplexes.
• Keep project files organized in Google Drive and tasks current in Asana.

What you bring

Required

• 2+ years of hands-on Revit work.
• 2+ years preparing architectural drawings and construction documents.
• Experience on residential projects.
• Fluent reading of architectural drawings and building documentation.
• Strong attention to detail and self-organization.
• English at Intermediate (B1) or higher: you read technical documents and speak with the team in online meetings.

Licensing & education

• No US architect license is required. Our licensed team members review and sign drawings where a stamp is needed.
• A degree in architecture or civil engineering is a plus.

Nice to have

• Experience with US residential projects and permit drawings.
• Knowledge of US codes: CRC, CBC and Title 24.
• AutoCAD.
• Experience with ADUs, garage conversions or duplexes.

Why join California Home Company

• Fully remote, flexible schedule. Work from anywhere, and choose your own schedule, with a couple of team meetings a week.
• See your drawings get built. We are a builder, not a design-only studio. Our own crews build the homes you draw in California.
• Long-term work. We're building a permanent team and plan to work together for years.
• Real onboarding. Our training program covers plan development, California codes, zoning and our Revit standards.
• Room to grow. We promote from within and invest in people who grow with us.
• Values we live by: Quality Craftsmanship, Integrity, and Innovation & Design Excellence.
