Structural Draftsman (Davao Onsite) - Structural Engineering Background

About the Role

We’re looking for a Structural Draftsman (CAD Specialist) who is detail-oriented, technically capable, and comfortable working with structural and architectural drawings.

The role is primarily drafting-focused, but it also requires a good understanding of structural engineering concepts. You’ll take architectural plans, engineering designs, structural requirements, and client specifications and turn them into accurate, construction-ready CAD drawings.

You’ll work closely with architects, structural engineers, designers, and project managers on residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects.

In simple terms, the role involves:

• Creating and revising CAD drawings using AutoCAD, including floor plans, elevations, sections, structural layouts, and construction details.
• Translating engineering and architectural information into drawings, making sure the final plans accurately reflect the approved design.
• Working with structural components such as foundations, beams, columns, slabs, and framing.
• Reading and interpreting structural plans, calculations, specifications, and engineering inputs.
• Performing or assisting with basic calculations and design checks related to dimensions, loads, quantities, and structural components when required.
• Checking drawings for accuracy, consistency, constructability, and compliance with project requirements, building codes, and industry standards.
• Identifying discrepancies or conflicts between architectural plans, structural drawings, calculations, and other project documents.
• Coordinating with the project team to clarify technical requirements and resolve drafting or design issues.
• Managing drawing revisions, project documentation, and multiple deadlines while keeping files organized.
• Using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word, and Outlook, for documentation and communication.

Essentially, we're looking for someone who can understand the engineering requirements behind a project and accurately translate them into clear, detailed, and practical drawings.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate would have:

• A degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architecture, Drafting, or a related field.
• Around 1–3 years of relevant experience in structural drafting, structural design, architectural drafting, engineering support, or a similar field.
• Hands-on experience with structural drafting and AutoCAD.
• A working understanding of structural systems, construction methods, building materials, and structural components.
• The ability to read and interpret structural plans, engineering drawings, calculations, and technical specifications.
• Basic knowledge of structural calculations and design principles, including the ability to apply engineering inputs when preparing drawings.
• Strong analytical, mathematical, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent attention to detail, particularly when working with technical drawings and calculations.
• Good verbal and written communication skills for coordinating technical information with architects, engineers, and project managers.
• The ability to work independently while knowing when to ask for clarification when technical requirements are unclear.
• The ability to manage multiple projects, revisions, and deadlines.
• Most importantly, a “puzzle-solver” mindset—someone who can spot inconsistencies, understand what may be causing them, and work toward practical solutions.
