Role overview
Create accurate, buildable HVAC drawings and 3D equipment models for fabrication and installation. The work combines AutoCAD drafting with Autodesk Inventor sheet-metal design, and involves coordinating with engineering, fabrication, and project teams supporting US-based work.
Responsibilities
- Draft HVAC layouts in AutoCAD, including duct and piping routes, mechanical rooms, details, sections, and as-built drawings.
- Prepare shop drawings for ductwork, fittings, plenums, and supports in line with applicable SMACNA standards and project specifications.
- Model HVAC equipment and sheet-metal assemblies in Inventor, then generate flat patterns, cut lists, and fabrication drawings.
- Assemble drawing packages with dimensions, tolerances, annotations, title blocks, and bills of materials.
- Convert markups, field sketches, PDFs, and older drawings into clean, editable CAD files.
- Coordinate layouts against other building disciplines, revise work after feedback or field changes, and check accuracy and revision records.
Requirements
- Degree or diploma in mechanical engineering, drafting technology, or a related field.
- At least three years of CAD design or drafting experience, including two years in HVAC or mechanical building services.
- Advanced AutoCAD 2D drafting skills and hands-on Inventor experience with sheet metal, assemblies, flat patterns, and drawings.
- Understanding of HVAC components, installation practices, duct sizing basics, and equipment connections.
- Familiarity with SMACNA standards and sheet-metal fabrication; able to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and submittals.
- Strong attention to detail, clear English communication, and a portfolio showing 2D HVAC drawings and 3D Inventor models.
- Reliable high-speed internet and a computer capable of running Inventor; a dedicated GPU is preferred.
Nice to have
- AutoCAD MEP, Revit MEP, Navisworks, or Autodesk Vault experience.
- Familiarity with US drafting conventions and imperial units.
Benefits and work setup
- Full-time remote position for candidates in the Philippines.
- Listed monthly net pay: $1,100–$1,800.
- Schedule: 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. CST.
