Job summary

Aquatic Structures is seeking a BIM/CAD Design Technologist to translate concept sketches into buildable drawings for aquatic and water-feature projects. You will produce precise 2D plans and 3D models and verify tolerances in collaboration with engineers and field teams.

As part of the design team, you will maintain standards across sheets and files, ensure compliance with ASME/ANSI/local codes, and update packages quickly as changes arise.

Qualifications

• Associate degree, technical certificate, or diploma in Drafting, CAD Design, or a related field.
• 2–5 years in a manufacturing, construction, or engineering environment producing technical drawings.
• Portfolio: 3–5 samples demonstrating real-world drafting/modeling proficiency.
• Nice to Have: ADDA certification or Autodesk software badges.

Responsibilities

• 2D/3D Production: Build highly accurate 2D plans, sections, and elevations, and develop coordinated 3D models using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Revit.
• Coordinate with architects, engineers, and project managers to clarify design intent for commercial aquatic and water-feature projects.
• Validate dimensions, materials, and tolerances; align with structural, manufacturing, and regulatory requirements.
• Maintain consistent layers, line weights, annotations, styles, and sheet sets across all files.
• Update drawings quickly to reflect approved client or field changes and track those updates.

Job description

BIM/CAD Design Technologist — Aquatic StructuresYou translate concept sketches into buildable reality. On a typical day, you might open Revit to refine a surge tank layout for a competition pool, switch to AutoCAD to finalize plan and elevation sheets, and jump on a quick call with an engineer to confirm tolerances before pushing a clean revision set to the field team. Precision, organization, and code awareness guide every line you draw.Role SnapshotLocation: Apopka, FLJob Type: Full-TimeDepartment: DesignReports To: Design ManagerWhat You’ll Work On2D/3D Production: Build highly accurate 2D plans, sections, and elevations, and develop coordinated 3D models using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Revit.From Idea to Issued: Convert rough sketches, engineering notes, and redlines into fully detailed drawing packages ready for construction.Daily Collaboration: Coordinate with architects, engineers, and project managers to clarify design intent for commercial aquatic and water-feature projects.Quality & Compliance: Validate dimensions, materials, and tolerances; align with structural, manufacturing, and regulatory requirements.Standards & Templates: Maintain consistent layers, line weights, annotations, styles, and sheet sets across all files.Revisions: Update drawings quickly to reflect approved client or field changes and track those updates.Digital Libraries: Organize and archive models and sheets within BIM, PLM, and internal file-sharing repositories.What You BringSoftware Mastery: Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, or MicroStation.3D Visualization: Strong spatial reasoning to translate complex 3D forms into precise 2D documentation.Code Knowledge: Working fluency with drafting standards and applicable ASME/ANSI/local building codes.Math & GD&T: Accurate geometric calculations, dimensioning, and GD&T fundamentals.Detail Orientation: Impeccable line work, annotation discipline, and scaling accuracy.Communication: Clear written and verbal skills to coordinate blueprint changes with technical teams.Prioritization: Ability to balance multiple deadlines and deliverables at once.BackgroundEducation: Associate degree, technical certificate, or diploma in Drafting, CAD Design, or a related field.Experience: 2–5 years in a manufacturing, construction, or engineering environment producing technical drawings.Portfolio: 3–5 samples demonstrating real-world drafting/modeling proficiency.Nice to Have: ADDA certification or Autodesk software badges.Compensation & BenefitsSalary: $80,000–$120,000, based on regional data and experience.Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.401(k) matching or retirement contribution plan.Paid time off (PTO) and company holidays.Professional development and certification opportunities.
