AutoCAD Drafter (Full Time, Texas)

About this job

Are you a highly skilled AutoCAD professional who takes pride in producing complete, permit-ready construction drawing sets? Do you thrive working independently, adapting quickly to established standards, and taking full ownership of your projects in a fast-paced, high-volume environment? We’re looking for a Remote Senior AutoCAD Drafter to join our client’s team, a U.S.-based design-build company specializing in dental, medical, optical, and veterinary facilities and completing approximately 160–180 projects per year. You’ll increase drafting capacity and help reduce construction drawing turnaround times from 4–6 weeks to approximately two weeks. Apply now!

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 will do

  • Develop complete, permit-ready construction drawing sets in AutoCAD for dental, medical, optical, and veterinary facilities, from SD through CDs.
  • Prepare SD and DD sets of plans, including floor plans, sections, and elevations, and support 3D modeling efforts during both phases.
  • Produce architectural floor plans, dimension plans, egress plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, wall details, door schedules, and finish documentation.
  • Prepare and coordinate MEP-related drawings, including electrical layouts, lighting plans, panel schedules, HVAC plans, plumbing plans, riser diagrams, and medical gas layouts.
  • Transform existing floor plans, takeoff sheets, project proposals, and specifications into accurate, production-ready construction documents.
  • Prepare permit sets for submission to local authorities and CD packages for general contractor use.
  • Pick up redlines and incorporate revisions, engineering feedback, and permitting comments into updated drawing packages.
  • Work within the client’s established AutoCAD templates, layers, blocks, and drafting standards to ensure consistency across all deliverables.
  • Coordinate documentation for engineering review and approval, keeping architectural and MEP drawings aligned.
  • Support cabinetry and millwork drawings when required.
  • Collaborate with project managers, engineering reviewers, and the drafting and pre-construction team, communicating proactively and implementing feedback efficiently.
  • Take ownership of assigned drawing sets with minimal supervision after an initial onboarding period, maintaining accuracy, quality, and project deadlines.

What you'll need to know

  • Senior-level proficiency in AutoCAD.
  • Proven experience working on healthcare projects; dental experience is a strong plus.
  • Extensive construction documentation experience, ideally in commercial interiors and tenant improvements.
  • Strong understanding of architectural and MEP documentation standards across SD, DD, and CD phases.
  • Ability to quickly adapt to existing CAD templates, layers, and drafting standards.
  • Advanced English level and strong communication skills.
  • Availability to work full time with working hours overlapping U.S. Central Time.
  • Ability to work autonomously and deliver high-quality work in a remote environment with limited internal training resources.
  • Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and efficiency in production tasks.
  • Reliability and ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a long-term, full-time engagement with potential for team growth.
