Job description

Architectural Designer/Design Coordinator (PHP45K–PHP70K | Onsite | FREE AI Certification)

Cebu City | Onsite (IT Park) | Day Shift (6:00 AM–3:00 PM) | Monday–Friday

You own end-to-end design production and multidisciplinary coordination for international architectural projects, ensuring drawing accuracy, regulatory compliance, and seamless project delivery from concept through to council submission. Within defined project scopes, you liaise with the client's internal teams, contractors, and consultants to keep design intent consistent from concept through to council approval, while guiding junior designers as needed.

This is not a purely drafting role. You're trusted to lead design coordination across multiple projects at once, apply New Zealand building code knowledge to real submissions, and use AI tools to speed up research and daily workflow. Best suited for design professionals who are self-directed, detail-obsessed, and comfortable owning a process end-to-end rather than waiting for direction.

You’re Likely A Strong Fit If You Have

• 5+ years of experience in architectural drafting, CAD, 3D rendering, and design coordination within a design and build environment

• Hands-on responsibility for producing architectural drawings, CAD documentation, high-quality 3D renderings, and council submission packages

• Working knowledge of building code and council/consent submission processes (New Zealand building code exposure is a strong plus)

• Strong proficiency in CAD software, 3D tools, and AI technologies utilized for building research and design workflow optimization

Strong Signals

• Prior direct experience with New Zealand or Australian building codes and council consent submissions

• Background supporting an offshore/BPO design team for an international (AU/NZ/UK/US) client

• Formal qualification in Architecture, Architectural Technology, Design, or a related field

Responsibility Pillars

Design & Production

You own the accuracy and quality of every drawing and rendering that leaves your desk, from first concept to client-ready presentation.

• Produce architectural drawings, CAD documentation, and high-quality 3D renderings for design and build projects

• Prepare and present design concepts and visual materials for internal and client review

• Ensure design outputs are accurate, detailed, and aligned with project requirements

Design Coordination & Workflow Management

You keep design intent intact across the full project lifecycle, translating scattered inputs into one coordinated plan.

• Lead design coordination across projects, managing workflows, timelines, and deliverables

• Liaise with internal teams, contractors, and consultants to maintain design intent throughout delivery

• Direct and guide junior design team members where required

Compliance & Documentation

You carry accountability for every submission meeting New Zealand's regulatory bar before it reaches council.

• Research and apply New Zealand building code regulations relevant to each project

• Prepare and compile documentation and submissions for council consent and approval processes

• Maintain accurate, organised project records and design files

AI & Technology Adoption

You treat AI tools as core infrastructure, not an experiment, to keep design output fast and current.

• Apply AI tools to research building code requirements and streamline design workflows

• Track and integrate emerging AI and design technologies relevant to architecture and construction

About the Client

A New Zealand–based bespoke joinery and interior fit-out company delivers custom cabinetry and commercial interior solutions across residential and business sectors.
