DRAFTER / DESIGNER Architecture & Construction | Full-Time · Remote LATAM
About the Role
Our client is a U.S.-based architecture firm managing multiple concurrent projects. They're looking for a motivated Drafter / Designer to join their team. You'll take field measurement data provided by others, convert it into organized AutoCAD files, and build the drawing foundation for new projects. Day-to-day, you'll handle architect redline corrections, produce permit-ready drawing sets, and manage revisions across active projects. This is a production-heavy role — but also a launchpad. The firm is specifically looking for someone who sees architecture as a career path and is ready to eventually own projects independently.
A Role Built for Growth
The firm isn't just hiring a drafter — they're investing in someone who wants to grow into a full project lead. If you're pursuing architecture as a career, learn fast, and are ready to take on increasing responsibility with guidance, this is the opportunity to do it inside a real, active practice.
Work Setup
- Location: Remote · LATAM
- Schedule: U.S. Business Hours
- Language: English B2+
Software
Required
- AutoCAD — primary tool for all drafting production
Nice to Have
- Autodesk Revit — BIM modeling and coordinated documentation
- SketchUp / Lumion / Enscape — visualization and client presentations
Key Responsibilities
- Receive field measurement data and convert it into accurate, organized AutoCAD files to kick off new projects.
- Incorporate architect redline comments into existing drawings — correcting and updating for internal review, permit submissions, and client revisions.
- Produce and manage revisions to architectural drawings across active projects, maintaining drawing standards and consistency throughout.
- Prepare and organize drawing sets for permitting submissions, ensuring compliance with project and jurisdiction requirements.
- Coordinate with the lead architect or project manager to understand scope, priorities, and design intent before each task.
- Manage and version-control drawing files in shared platforms, keeping project folders organized and current.
- Over time, take on greater ownership of projects — from initial setup through permit issuance — with direction and mentorship from the team.
Requirements
Required
- Proficient in AutoCAD — hands-on production drafting experience, not just coursework.
- Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, redlines, and field notes accurately.
- Understanding of drafting conventions: scales, lineweights, layer organization, and notation.
- English B2 or higher — daily written communication with architects and project managers.
- Pursuing architecture as a career, or prior experience working in an architecture office.
- Fast learner — able to adapt to the firm's workflows, templates, and standards quickly.
Nice to Have
- Working knowledge of Autodesk Revit — BIM modeling and coordinated documentation.
- Prior exposure to U.S. construction documents or permit drawing sets.
- Experience with visualization tools: SketchUp, Lumion, Enscape, or similar.
- Familiarity with cloud-based file management: BIM 360, Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar.
You're the Right Fit If You Are
- Precise and production-ready: You understand that in construction, a wrong dimension or missed redline has real consequences — you check your work before sending it.
- Career-driven in architecture: This isn't just a drafting job to you. You're genuinely excited about the field and want to grow into designing and managing full projects.
- A fast learner: You pick up new workflows, standards, and tools quickly and don't need to be shown the same thing twice.
- Self-managed: Working remotely means you own your deliverables. You communicate clearly when you're blocked and deliver on time without constant follow-up.
- Coachable: You take redline corrections and design feedback as learning opportunities — and apply them consistently going forward.
