About the Role

F5 Global Talent is hiring an experienced MEP Drafter to support a fast-growing U.S. mechanical, plumbing, and fire-protection engineering firm. You will prepare AutoCAD drawing sets for commercial, multifamily, and hospitality projects. This role requires understanding systems well enough to perform basic HVAC and plumbing calculations. You will work directly with U.S.-based engineers on projects from existing conditions through filing and construction documentation. This is a full-time, long-term remote role open to candidates in India and the Philippines, working 8:30 AM–5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time.

• Size ductwork, piping, and gas systems.
• Perform plumbing fixture-unit calculations.
• Build existing-condition plans from field surveys, photos, and engineer markups.
