• 7–10 years of professional experience with an architecture, engineering, or multidisciplinary design practice
• Demonstrated senior-level technical competency in architectural design and documentation
• Extensive experience preparing and coordinating architectural drawing sets and construction-document sets
• Strong experience with construction documents, design development, systems integration, and structural integration
• Practical understanding of construction means and methods
• Ability to read and coordinate architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings

• Ability to research and develop project specifications
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Cloud—or closely comparable architectural software
• Fluent spoken and written English
• Strong attention to detail, organization, critical thinking, and time management
• Ability to interpret sketches, redlines, design direction, and technical comments accurately
• Ability to manage multiple assignments, revisions, deadlines, and unresolved questions independently
• Reliable computer equipment and stable high-speed internet suitable for large architectural files and remote meetings
• Availability during the agreed working schedule aligned with Pacific Time

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-end residential, hospitality, commercial interiors, adaptive reuse, or tenant-improvement projects
• Experience working remotely with U.S. architecture, engineering, or construction firms
• Experience coordinating directly with architects, engineers, contractors, vendors, and consultants

Professional Expectations

We are looking for someone who demonstrates accountability, initiative, accuracy, and consistent follow‑through. The selected contractor must be able to recognize and resolve problems—not simply complete assigned drafting.

The successful candidate should ask informed questions, confirm priorities, maintain organized documentation, coordinate proactively, and communicate progress without waiting to be contacted.

All project drawings, designs, models, documents, client information, and company information must remain confidential. All work produced under this engagement will remain the property of the company.

Application Requirements

Please submit the following:

• Current résumé
• Architectural portfolio
• Samples of construction documents or technical drawings
• Brief explanation of your specific contribution to each portfolio project
• List of software programs and proficiency levels
• Current location in the Philippines
• Available working hours in Pacific Time
• Internet speed and computer specifications
• Expected monthly contractor rate in Philippine pesos
• Earliest available starting date

Candidates whose portfolios contain only academic projects or renderings—or do not clearly explain their individual responsibilities—may not be considered.
