[Hiring] Landscape CAD Draftsperson @D2B

Role Description

We're looking for an experienced Landscape CAD Draftsperson with strong construction documentation skills and 3D rendering capability to join our growing team. With hands-on Vectorworks experience.

Responsibilities

• Convert approved concept designs into detailed, accurate construction drawing sets (setout plans, levels, sections, details, planting plans, and material schedules).
• Work primarily in Vectorworks to ensure drawings are consistent with the client's existing file standards and templates.
• Produce photorealistic or presentation-quality renders to support client approvals, where required.
• Liaise with the Founder and the local design team to clarify design intent, resolve details, and incorporate feedback.
• Maintain drawing accuracy for levels, drainage falls, and material junctions so drawings are genuinely buildable on site.
• Manage your own workflow and deadlines across multiple concurrent projects, flagging risks or delays early.
• Keep drawing files, layers, and naming conventions organised and consistent across projects.

Qualifications

• Proven, verifiable proficiency in Vectorworks is required.
• Background in landscape architecture, landscape design, or architectural drafting, ideally with residential project experience.
• Understanding of construction documentation: setout, levels, sections, details, and materials - not just drafting for visual presentation.
• Rendering skills (e.g. Lumion, Enscape, Twinmotion, or similar) are a strong advantage.
• Strong written English for clear communication with the Australian-based team.
• Reliable internet connection and the ability to work overlapping hours with an Australian (Melbourne, AEST/AEDT) team.

Requirements

• Genuine attention to detail - drawings that are accurate the first time, not just "close enough."
• Strong work ethic and reliability - someone who owns their workload and communicates proactively.
• A long-term mindset - we're looking to invest in this role and grow it over time, not treat it as disposable outsourced labour.
• Honesty about your actual skill level and software experience - we'd rather know upfront than discover gaps later.

Benefits

• Full time - Remote/WFH
• Australian client / Dayshift
• Competitive Salary

Company Description

The client is a Melbourne-based landscape design studio, specialising in native and climate-adaptive gardens for residential clients across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. The company's philosophy is simple: every project starts with a clear plan that resolves layout, levels, materials, and planting before anything is built - so construction happens without guesswork, miscommunication, or costly rework.

The studio's process runs in two stages: a concept report developed locally with the client, followed by detailed construction drawings. They're growing the team to bring the construction drawing stage in-house on an offshore basis, freeing up our local design team to focus on new client work while drawings progress in the background.
