About AAPC

We specialize in zoning, space planning, and architectural solutions for commercial and mixed-use properties, with a focus on NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) and agency approvals. Our work bridges creative design with regulatory precision, helping clients unlock legal occupancies, navigate code barriers, and bring projects into compliance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Draft full architectural drawing sets using AutoCAD: plans, RCPs, elevations, sections, details
  • Revise existing drawings per agency objections, redlines, or project updates
  • Collaborate with architects, expeditors, and project managers to develop code-compliant filing sets
  • Interpret zoning analyses and translate field or survey info into accurate drawing updates
  • Organize and maintain drawing files and project documentation in accordance with office standards

Qualifications

  • Degree in Architecture (B.Arch or equivalent)
  • Minimum 3 years of NYC-based architectural drafting experience
  • Strong knowledge of NYC Building Code and Zoning Resolution
  • Familiarity with commercial, mixed-use, and hospitality projects
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD (required); Adobe Creative Suite a plus
  • Ability to read, interpret, and draft from markups, sketches, and technical specifications
  • Highly organized, detail-focused, and responsive to deadlines
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary Range: $50,000–$63,000 annually, commensurate with experience
  • Bonus Eligibility: Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Benefits: Medical, paid time off, and hybrid remote schedule (after 90 days)
  • Professional Development: Training, mentorship, and continued learning encouraged
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States.
