About the Role
Arvand Contracting is a US based company looking for a highly organized, English fluent, and skilled layout drafter to support our growing design team. You’ll work from architectural floor plans and our internal design templates to create layout drafts for kitchens, beds, vanities, and built-in storage in residential short-term rental properties. Your work will help streamline vendor bids and reduce load on our lead designer, who will approve your work but not micromanage it. We anticipate 1–2 projects per quarter, with potential for more based on performance.
This is a project-based subcontract role with flexibility in hours and the potential for long-term collaboration. If you’re reliable, visually intuitive, and fluent in AutoCAD or similar drafting software, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Draft layout plans for residential interiors: kitchens, vanities, beds, and built-ins
- Use architectural floor plans and our existing design playbooks to guide your layouts
- Provide space planning documents that help us collect accurate vendor bids
- Deliver drawings in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit, or similar software
Qualifications
- Strong layout or architectural drafting experience — no design license required
- Proficient in AutoCAD or similar software (SketchUp, Revit, Chief Architect, etc.)
- Experience drafting for residential or short-term rental projects is a plus
- Able to self-manage and adapt feedback into production-ready drafts
- Strong attention to spatial logic, clean drafting, and alignment with templates
- Fluent written and spoken communication in English
- Bonus: Experience with interior design support tasks (sourcing, purchasing, moodboards)
What This Role Is (and Isn’t)
✅ A great fit if you:
- Enjoy creating layouts with limited but clear direction
- Are comfortable referencing existing designs to maintain consistency
- Want to be part of a growing design workflow with opportunity for more work
❌ Not a fit if you:
- Need constant oversight
- Lack proficiency in drafting software
- Are expecting full-time, high-volume project flow right away
Job Type: Contract
Contract length: 48 months
Pay: Rs1,300.00 - Rs1,600.00 per hour
Expected hours: 5 – 30 per week
