Architectural Drafter - Residential Construction (Higharc)

Job DetailsJob Location: United Built Homes LLC Shreveport - Shreveport, LA 71106Position Type: Full TimeEducation Level: Not SpecifiedTravel Percentage: NoneJob Shift: DayJob Category: DesignArchitectural Drafter - Residential Construction (Higharc)

United Built Homes is seeking an Architectural Drafter to join our team, focused on developing construction documents for homes we build across Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

This is not a traditional drafting role.

We are actively transitioning our plan development and construction documentation into Higharc, a modern, parametric home design platform that allows us to move faster, reduce errors, and bring consistency to our plans at scale.

If you have residential drafting experience and are interested in working with a more advanced, system-driven approach to home design, this role will be a good fit.

What You’ll Do

Develop and finalize construction documents for sold homes


Work within Higharc to generate and refine plan sets


Review and validate drawings for accuracy, completeness, and buildability


Coordinate with internal teams (sales, design, construction) to ensure plans align with customer selections and field requirements


Help identify and resolve edge cases where plans require additional attention or clarification


Contribute to improving how we standardize and scale our plan library

Why This Role Is Different

Most drafting roles are reactive and one-off. This role is about building a system.

You will be working in Higharc, where plans are:

Configurable instead of static


Standardized instead of reinvented


Connected to pricing and construction logic

We are building a scalable, semi-custom home platform, and drafting is a critical part of making that work.

Location

Preferred: Shreveport, LA
Also considered: Northwest, AR (Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, or Bentonville area)

Perks and Benefits

Competitive pay with long-term stability (65+ year company)
Medical, dental, vision insurance
Paid vacation, holidays, and personal leave
Employer-paid life and LTD insurance
401(k) with company match
HSA with company contribution

About United Built Homes

At United Built Homes, we build on our customers’ land and manage the process from design through construction and financing. We are focused on bringing consistency, speed, and quality to a part of the industry that has traditionally lacked all three.
