Job Description

​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Civil Engineer and Draftperson

Compensation range: $2,500 AUD - $3,500 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is: The client is an established civil and earthmoving contractor based in Victoria. The team delivers high-quality infrastructure and civil works projects, and is expanding its offshore drafting and engineering support capability to free up the local engineering team for on-site operations.

We're looking for an experienced Civil Engineering Draftsperson to join the team remotely. This is a hands-on drafting role focused on producing accurate shop drawings, plans, and quantity takeoffs to support active projects. You'll work closely with the in-house engineering team, acting as a reliable extension of their capability.

This role suits someone who is highly proficient in AutoCAD (or equivalent CAD software), detail-oriented, and comfortable working autonomously with remote oversight

Key Responsibilities:

• Produce shop drawings for bridges, walkways, steel structures, concrete precast, and general metalwork
• Draw site plans and traffic management plans as required
• Complete quantity takeoffs and check quantities against drawings
• Assist the engineering team with estimating support
• Liaise with other in-house engineers to ensure drawings meet project specifications
• Manage and organize drawing files and documentation

Requirements

• Minimum 3-5+ years experience in civil or structural drafting
• High proficiency in AutoCAD (required); other CAD software such as Revit or Civil 3D is a plus
• Solid understanding of civil engineering drawings and construction documentation
• Experience with shop drawings for structural steel, precast concrete, or similar
• Ability to read and interpret engineering plans and specifications
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Good English communication skills for remote collaboration
• Self-directed and comfortable working independently
• Insert more below if needed

Nice to have:

• Experience with quantity takeoffs for civil or construction projects
• Background in estimating support or cost planning
• Exposure to Australian construction standards or similar

Work Arrangement & Expectations:

This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.

To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:

• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
