Growthby Sharing
At Atlan, we believe in Growth by Sharing—when the business grows, our people grow with it.
This is embedded in our approach to performance and reward, where team success and results are recognised and shared. As the company scales, you'll have the opportunity to benefit from that growth through structured incentives, exposure to high-impact work, and continuous development.
The role will support our concrete design / fabrication team from a remote location (Philippines), interfacing with the design, engineering & production teams in Australia (or other jurisdictions) as needed.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce detailed 2D drawings (and possibly 3D, if required) of precast concrete tanks, chambers, diversion units and related components, according to design input and project specifications.
- Interpret engineering plans, sketches, structural details and site information to convert into fabrication/shop drawings ready for production and manufacture.
- Work from existing modules or standard units of Atlan's modular precast system and adapt for customised site/installation requirements. (Atlan Stormwater International)
- Collaborate with engineers, project managers and production staff to ensure drawing accuracy, correct dimensions, reinforcement details, connections, openings, lifting hardware, access covers etc.

- Revise drawings based on feedback (design changes, client requests, site conditions) and maintain version control/documentation.
- Provide support for production/fabrication hand-off: generate drawings that are clear for manufacturing, shop assembly, mould construction.
- Coordinate with remote/onsite teams: attend design review meetings, capture design intents, maintain clear communication while working remotely.
- Maintain a library of drawings, templates, units, standard details; ensure that reuse of modules is efficient and consistent.
- Ensure remote works are carried out using the correct CAD software, file structure, layers, naming conventions as required by Atlan standard practice.
Required Skills & Experience
- Minimum of 2-5 years experience as a CAD Draftsman/Drafter in a precast concrete or civil/structural environment
- Proficient in AutoCAD (2D); knowledge of 3D modelling or Civil 3D/Revit is an advantage but not mandatory.
- Good understanding of precast concrete detail work: reinforcement layouts, openings, embed plates, connections, lifting points, formwork constraints.
- Comfortable reading civil/structural drawings, site layouts, plan/sections/elevations and converting into shop/fabrication drawings.
- Excellent communication skills in English (written and verbal), reliable remote worker, good time-management and ability to work independently.
- Well-organised, with strong attention to detail, able to maintain drawing quality, document control, revision tracking.
- Based in the Philippines and able to work remotely, with strong internet connectivity and a suitable home-office setup.

Desirable / Additional Qualifications
- Prior experience in stormwater/storm-drain systems (detention/retention tanks, diversion chambers etc.).
- Familiarity with Australian/AS-standards (Atlan operates Australia/NZ region) or international precast concrete standards.
- Experience with fabrication/precast shop drawings (mould layouts, lattice reinforcement design, casting plans).
- Proficiency in spreadsheets (for schedules/BOQ) and other supporting software (e.g., MS Office, PDF mark-ups).
- Self-starter attitude with good work-ethic, remote-team ethic, and ability to ask clarifying questions when needed.
Work Setup & Conditions
