Vanguard Engineering is looking for a remote Structural / Architectural Draftsman based in the Philippines to assist with residential and light commercial drafting work. The work will include structural plans, architectural plans, construction details, and permit submittal drawings.

The ideal candidate should have experience preparing clear, organized construction documents from engineer markups, sketches, existing plans, photos, and written instructions.

• Structural details
• Structural sections
• Beam, post, footing, and connection details
• Shear wall plans

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is accurate, responsive, and able to follow drafting standards. The draftsman should be able to take engineering direction and turn it into clean, readable drawings.
