As files can be transferred over via the internet, detailed plans can be created and shared easily by remote staff. CAD programs help expedite this as the plans can be exported as PDFs and in certain cases can even be made small enough to fit in emails. All applicants will have a bachelor’s degree in architecture and some will have prior work experience, though only some will have experience working as remote staff.

Generally speaking, the more experienced CAD operators would have prior experience working for clients in other countries, which may lead to them already being familiar with your processes, which in turn speeds up the training period.
The software-specific training isn’t a big deal in this position as experienced CAD operators will know how to use different software already.

In addition to their experience, all your applicants will have a bachelor’s degree in architecture.
BIM software allows teams from anywhere in the world to collaborate easily, but this doesn’t mean you should forego a team chat application. Having a sense of community is important when trying to retain staff for long periods of time. Retention of remote staff is important as you don’t want to start from scratch every so often. With tenured staff the workflow becomes easier and bringing on new staff is simplified as you no longer need to be a part of the training, you can assign a tenured staff to take over that process.

While cloud storage allows for drafts, pictures, and videos to be sent to and from staff, to clients, back to you, your workflow won’t see any downtime with a remote designer. The need to go to an actual construction site is lessened with the use of drone footage, which can also be uploaded and shared. Your candidates will all be bachelor’s degree holders and a majority of them will have a background doing design work for foreign clients.
For training, you will mostly need to work on your company’s processes. If you use proprietary software or something more niche, you will also have to train that. Generally speaking, most candidates that make it to your interview will know the exact software you will be using.
Retail Space Designers
As with all remote staffing jobs, communication and coordination are of utmost importance. Using the proper communication channels and tools will allow for the seamless completion of tasks.
