AutoCAD Drafter (Full Time, Bahamas) 6415

This role provides 2D AutoCAD drafting support across schematic design, design development, and construction documents for residential and boutique commercial projects. You'll work directly from Lauren's hand sketches, SketchUp massing studies, and Trace/FormIt sketches, translating them into clear, accurate, buildable drawings. This is a highly iterative, hands-on remote role with close daily collaboration, aligned with Eastern Time (ET).

BetterPros unlocks human potential by offering competitive compensation, flexibility, constant learning and growth, and the opportunity to work anywhere you want with one of our +130 active clients across the United States.

What you'll do

• 
  

  Produce 2D AutoCAD drawings—plans, elevations, sections, and sheets—from hand sketches, SketchUp models, and verbal direction.

  
  


• 
  

  Prepare full drawing sets across every phase: SD sets (floor plans, sections, elevations) and picking up redlines; DD sets (floor plans, sections, elevations); and CD sets, including permit sets to present to local authorities and CDs to present to the general contractor.

  
  


• 
  

  Draft construction details with a real understanding of how buildings come together—this is not just plan/elevation projection.

  
  


• 
  

  Maintain and apply the firm's existing drafting standards (line weights, sheet setup, established conventions) consistently across a project set.

  
  


• 
  

  Prepare drawing sets ready to hand off to structural engineers and, eventually, MEP consultants.

  
  


• 
  

  Join daily or twice-daily video check-ins to review progress and receive markups directly on screen.

  
  


• 
  

  Flag constructability or drafting issues proactively—bringing one or two possible solutions rather than stopping and waiting.

  
  


• 
  

  Occasionally support light SketchUp modeling alongside drafting work (a plus, not a requirement—the firm intentionally keeps drafting and 3D modeling as separate roles).

  
  

What you must have

• 
  

  Minimum 6 years of professional AutoCAD drafting experience in residential / light-commercial architecture.

  
  


• 
  

  Proficiency in AutoCAD—the practice works purely in AutoCAD.

  
  


• 
  

  Solid understanding of conventional construction: wood framing, concrete foundations, and concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls with wood porch additions. No complex structural steel spans.

  
  


• 
  

  Experience on residential (luxury) projects.

  
  


• 
  

  Fluent written and spoken English—the client does not speak Spanish and requires daily live collaboration.

  
  


• 
  

  Stable, reliable internet for daily video calls and real-time screen-share markups.

  
  


• 
  

  Strong attention to detail, reliability, and consistency across a full project set.

  
  


• 
  

  Ability to perform self-quality checks.

  
  

A great plus

• 
  

  Experience with traditional / timeless residential architecture or high-end custom homes.

  
  


• 
  

  Prior remote experience with U.S.-based architecture practices.

  
  


• 
  

  Basic SketchUp modeling ability.
