Architect - Manila
Location: Remote
Company: Powers Engineering and Inspection Services
Job Type: Full-time
About the role
We are seeking a versatile and detail-oriented Architect with strong AutoCAD skills and a passion for Interior Design. This role requires someone who can bridge technical CAD work for engineering and construction projects with creative visualizations for home renovations and interiors.
The ideal candidate will not only support architectural and renovation projects but also contribute to engineering design tasks such as tank and piping layouts, and be able to create photorealistic 3D renderings using SketchUp or SOLIDWORKS.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop architectural and interior design concepts from concept through completion.
- Create and modify architectural plans, sections, and elevations using AutoCAD.
- Produce 3D renderings for both home renovations (kitchens, bathrooms, cabinetry) and industrial design projects (tanks, piping, etc.) using SketchUp or SOLIDWORKS.
- Create mood boards, material palettes, and interior layouts for residential and commercial spaces.
- Collaborate with clients to understand their vision, needs, and preferences.
- Coordinate with contractors, engineers, and project managers throughout the project lifecycle.
- Ensure compliance with local codes, permitting requirements, and safety regulations.
- Prepare visually engaging presentations and design proposals for client meetings.
- Contribute to cross-functional projects, particularly where CAD design and rendering overlap with engineering and home renovation needs.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture or a related field.
- Proven experience in architectural design with a strong portfolio of both technical and aesthetic work.
- Proficient in AutoCAD; familiarity with SketchUp or SOLIDWORKS is highly preferred.
- Strong grasp of interior design principles, space planning, and materials.
- Experience creating realistic 3D renderings for both residential and industrial applications.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines with strong organizational and project management skills.
- Excellent communication and client engagement skills.
- Knowledge of construction materials, methods, and regulatory codes.
- [Optional: Architectural license or pursuing licensure is a plus.]
Nice to Have:
- Experience with Revit, Lumion, Blender, or Adobe Creative Suite.
- Knowledge of tank and piping design, or interest in supporting technical engineering teams.
- Familiarity with permit sets and construction documentation for California or similar jurisdictions.
