The snapshot

This is a full-time, work-from-home role for a Philippines-based architect or senior draftsperson who knows Australian residential work inside out. You would be working with an established Australian home builder that designs and constructs new homes, and they are bringing their architecture work in-house for the first time. That makes this a foundational hire: you would be the first architectural person in the business, setting the standards and ways of working that everyone after you follows. You will report to the business owner and work closely with them day to day.

The work is hands-on and technical. It is real drafting and documentation, not high-concept design, and it runs all the way through to council and permit stage. You will also talk to clients directly, so you need to be comfortable in front of people, not just behind the drawings.

What you will actually do

Drafting and working drawings

• Take a project from a design brief or rough plan through to permit-ready working drawings and construction documentation.


• Produce site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, and specifications to the detail needed for a building permit and for construction to start.


• Keep your files, versions, and drawing sets clean and organized so anyone can pick up where you left off.
