Job description

The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will bring the Eglinton Crosstown LRT another 9.2 kilometres farther west, creating a continuous rapid transit line from the east end of Toronto into Mississauga. The Stations, Rail, and Systems (SRS) package encompasses the design, construction, integration, and commissioning of key project components.

Position Overview

TRP has a current vacancy for a CAD Technician who will be responsible for developing and maintaining accurate 3D models and 2D drawings for subway infrastructure projects using Revit and Civil 3D. The role focuses on translating engineering design and survey information into detailed digital models that support design development, documentation, and project delivery.

The successful candidate will produce models for both civil infrastructure (alignments, corridors, and site works) and station-related building components, ensuring all models and drawings comply with established BIM standards and project requirements.

This position involves creating model-based drawings and supporting quantity take-offs and data extraction from BIM models to assist project teams in design coordination and estimation processes.

The BIM Modeler will collaborate closely with engineers, survey teams, and project stakeholders to ensure that design information and survey data are accurately represented within the BIM environment. Maintaining organized digital files within Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and following project BIM standards are key aspects of this role.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain 3D BIM models and 2D drawings for civil infrastructure and station components using Revit and Civil 3D.
• Produce detailed drawings including alignments, station layouts, cross sections, profiles, and topographical representations based on engineering design and survey information.
• Generate model-based quantities and data extraction from BIM models to support project estimation and reporting requirements.
• Translate engineering designs, sketches, and survey information into accurate BIM models and documentation.
• Maintain model and drawing revisions to ensure they reflect the latest design updates and survey data.
• Import and manage project information within the BIM environment, including survey surfaces, alignment data, and other geospatial datasets where applicable.
• Maintain an organized digital file structure within Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) to ensure proper version control and document accessibility.
• Ensure all BIM models and drawings follow the project BIM standards, naming conventions, and modeling protocols.
• Perform basic quality checks to verify model accuracy, completeness, and compliance with project requirements.
• Collaborate with engineers, survey teams, and other project stakeholders to support efficient model development and documentation workflow

Qualifications

• Diploma or degree in Drafting, Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Geomatics, or a related field.
• Up to 2 years of experience as a BIM Modeler, CAD Technician, or Drafter, preferably on infrastructure, transportation, or civil engineering projects.
• Strong proficiency in Revit and Civil 3D for 3D modeling and drawing production.
• Experience working within Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) for model and document management is preferred.
• Ability to produce accurate models and drawings from engineering designs and survey information.
• Understanding of model-based quantity extraction and BIM data management.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain organized digital project files.
• Familiarity with survey data integration, GIS data, or point cloud processing is considered an asset.
• Ability to follow established BIM standards and project workflows.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary project team.
• Interest in digital delivery technologies and BIM workflows within infrastructure projects.
