Job description

CAD Designer – Civil Engineering & Surveying

Our client, a growing civil engineering and surveying team is seeking a skilled CAD Designer to produce accurate, production‑ready drawings for land development, site design, and survey projects. This role is highly collaborative, working directly with licensed engineers and surveyors to translate field data, design intent, and engineering calculations into complete, permit‑ready plan sets using AutoCAD Civil 3D.

The ideal candidate is detail‑oriented, highly proficient with Civil 3D, and comfortable managing multiple active drawings in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers real ownership over your work — not anonymous drafting in a large production queue. You’ll see your drawings progress from initial concept to permitted project, with direct collaboration across engineering and surveying disciplines. The team is lean, the work is varied, and strong performance is rewarded through a project‑based incentive structure. For a CAD Designer who wants to grow quickly, contribute meaningfully, and be recognized for their skill, this environment offers a clear advantage over large corporate firms.
