Job description

A structural drafting role built for someone who reads engineering sketches and turns them into construction-ready documentation, without needing their hand held.

This is a full-time, dedicated position for a Structural Drafter who is confident working independently across concrete, steel, timber, and masonry projects. You will be embedded into a construction and engineering drafting environment, producing structural drawings to a standard that goes straight to construction. If you have three to five years of real structural drafting experience and AutoCAD is the tool you use every single day, this role was written for you.

THE ROLE

You will be responsible for producing and modifying detailed structural drawings across the full range of construction elements, working from engineering calculations, architectural plans, and marked-up sketches. This is not a support or coordination role, you own the documentation. Your drawings will be checked against Australian standards and issued as part of live construction projects, which means accuracy, consistency, and the ability to work without close supervision are non-negotiable.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Prepare and modify detailed structural drawings covering concrete, steel, timber, and masonry elements to construction-ready standard.
• Interpret architectural and engineering plans, calculations, and sketches to produce accurate structural documentation independently.
• Ensure all drawings comply with relevant Australian standards, codes, and company drafting guidelines.
• Coordinate with engineers, architects, and other drafters to maintain design accuracy and consistency across disciplines.
• Assist in clash detection and resolution between structural, architectural, and services drawings.
• Maintain and update project documentation throughout the full design and construction lifecycle.
• Contribute to quality control processes and participate in drawing reviews.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Strong hands-on AutoCAD proficiency used as your primary production tool for structural drafting: daily, confident usage is expected and will be confirmed during the recruitment process, not peripheral or occasional experience.
• Three to five years of proven structural drafting experience in a construction or engineering consultancy environment, across both residential and commercial project types.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret engineering calculations and sketches and translate them into working drawings without close supervision.
• A Diploma or Certificate in Drafting, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, architects, and project managers.
• Revit experience for structural documentation and familiarity with clash detection workflows are a genuine advantage in this role.

WORK ARRANGEMENT

This role is a hybrid arrangement, with 3 days at the Staff X Ortigas office and 2 days working from home.

WHY STAFF X

Staff X is a certified Great Place to Work employer in the Philippines for multiple consecutive years. When you join Staff X, you are employed directly — with full benefits, a company-provided device, and a team that takes career development seriously.

• Company-provided laptop or desktop computer
• Free training and professional development policy
• Regular social events and team activities
• Employee wellness program
• Exposure to clients in Australia, the US, and the UK

Staff X offers long-term, stable employment with genuine career growth.

COMPENSATION

Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus the full Staff X benefits package.

COMMITMENT

This is a full-time, dedicated role.

The client and Staff X invest heavily in onboarding, training, and integrating this person into a long-term team.

We are looking for someone who is ready to commit fully, not someone exploring a side arrangement, managing multiple clients, and running parallel freelance work.

• If you are currently freelancing and not ready to step into a single dedicated role, this is not the right opportunity for you.
• If you have a full-time job and are looking for a second income, please do not apply.

The right person for this role genuinely wants a stable, long-term career with a single employer who invests in their growth.

This is a permanent position. We hire people we intend to keep for years, not months.
