ABOUT THE ROLE

F5 Global Talent is hiring an experienced Residential Drafter with hands-on experience producing construction drawings for U.S. wood-framed homes.

You’ll turn sketches, redlines, markups, and written instructions into accurate AutoCAD drawing sets — including floor plans, exterior elevations, foundation plans, and floor, wall, and roof framing plans.

This is a technical drafting role, not conceptual design or 3D visualization. The most important requirement is a real understanding of conventional U.S. wood-frame construction and how framing, foundations, openings, and roof systems fit together.

This is a full-time, remote role open to candidates in India and the Philippines, with agreed working-hour overlap with the internal team.

IMPORTANT: Hands-on experience drafting U.S. wood-framed residential buildings is required. If your background is primarily steel, reinforced concrete, civil drafting, rendering, or general CAD work without residential wood framing, this role is not a fit.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Prepare floor, wall, and roof framing plans for U.S. wood-framed residential buildings
- Prepare and coordinate foundation plans
- Draft architectural floor plans and exterior elevations
- Convert hand sketches, redlines, markups, and written instructions into accurate CAD drawings
- Produce construction-documentation sets for single-family and multifamily residential projects
- Coordinate architectural, structural, and MEP information across drawing sets
- Follow established drafting standards, templates, and layer structures
- Maintain dimensional accuracy and perform quality checks before drawings are issued
- Manage revisions accurately and efficiently
- Communicate questions and progress clearly with the internal team

NICE TO HAVE
