Job description

Architectural / Engineering CAD Technician

What You'll Do

This role supports the management and maintenance of school facilities by keeping building records, drawings, and facility data accurate and up to date. You'll spend time working with AutoCAD, facility databases, and building records to document renovations, maintenance projects, and other changes to existing buildings.

Unlike a traditional drafting role, this position combines CAD work with data management. You'll help track the lifecycle of buildings, maintain facility information, and support planning and renovation projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Update and maintain facility records, building data, and lifecycle information.
• Revise existing AutoCAD drawings to reflect renovations, maintenance upgrades, and building changes.
• Maintain floor plans, construction documents, and record drawings.
• Update information related to building systems such as HVAC, security, and fire protection.
• Manage electronic drawing archives and facility documentation.
• Support facility audits and building condition assessments.
• Enter and maintain information in facility and space management software.
• Work with facilities, maintenance, and design teams to keep records accurate.
• Conduct occasional site visits and field measurements to verify building conditions.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma.
• At least 3 years of experience in architecture, drafting, facilities, construction documents, or a related field.
• Strong AutoCAD skills and experience updating existing drawings.
• Ability to read and interpret architectural and construction drawings.
• Experience working with architectural, engineering, construction, or facilities documentation.
• Strong computer skills and comfort working within databases and software systems.
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate degree in CAD Drafting or a related field.
• Experience with Revit.
• Experience with Archibus, VFA, or other facility management software.
• Experience performing field investigations and taking measurements.
• Experience in facilities, architecture, engineering, or construction.
• Interest in building operations and facility lifecycle management.

Work Environment

• Primarily office-based with most time spent on a computer.
• Combination of facility database management, documentation, and AutoCAD drafting.
• Approximately 5% field work for site visits and measurements.
• Focused on existing buildings, renovations, maintenance projects, and facility planning.
• Hybrid flexibility may be available after training, with up to 2 work-from-home days per week.
• Long-term, bond-funded opportunity expected to continue through approximately 2030.

Good Fit For Someone Who...

• Enjoys both CAD work and data management.
• Likes working with existing buildings rather than creating new designs from scratch.
• Is comfortable learning new software and maintaining detailed records.
• Wants a stable, long-term role supporting facility improvement projects.
• Enjoys a mix of office work, technical documentation, and occasional site visits.

In simple terms: This is about 35% facility data management, 15% AutoCAD drafting, and occasional site visits. The person will update building drawings, manage facility records, and help track renovations and maintenance projects for school buildings. It's more of a facilities documentation role than a traditional design-focused CAD position.
