About this role
** $2,000 Sign-on Bonus available based on experience **
RAM Buildings has been serving Minnesota since 1999, building a reputation for quality craftsmanship, integrity, and lasting customer relationships. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Design & Drafting Specialist who enjoys combining technical design, problem-solving, and real-world construction—and wants to grow with us.
In this role, you’ll help turn ideas into buildings. You’ll develop and refine construction drawings for post-frame projects, working through the details that take a project from a sold concept to a clear, accurate, construction-ready plan.
See Your Designs Come to Life
This isn’t drafting work that disappears into a file when you’re finished. The plans you create become real buildings throughout Minnesota.
Your attention to detail will help determine how a project comes together in the field. By identifying potential conflicts, asking the right questions, and developing clear construction drawings, you’ll help our crews build efficiently and give our customers a finished project they can be proud of.
Join the RAM Family
RAM is a family-run construction company where teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement matter. We value people who take ownership of their work, communicate well, and aren’t afraid to ask questions when something doesn’t look right.
