• Perform quality control (QC) and final review checks for asset inventories, engineering drawings, or other engineering reviews.
• Prepare and revise project drafts to As-Built or Completion Sets using AutoCAD or MicroStation.
• Provide mark-ups and redlines on engineering documents in accordance with client and project specifications.
• Assist lead engineers or CAD managers in creating construction documents, reports, and project deliverables.
• Perform engineering design tasks and calculations under supervision of a licensed engineer or project manager.
• Collaborate with project leads to develop training materials, process documentation, and best practice guides.

  • Bachelor’s degree in a non-engineering field with 3+ years of relevant engineering-related experience; OR
  • Associate’s degree or trade certificate in engineering with 5+ years of experience in related fields such as civil, mechanical, utility, GIS, mapping, surveying, construction, or estimating.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and project documentation (experience with utility assets/infrastructure a plus).
• Demonstrated knowledge of best practices for QC and final review of asset inventories, engineering drawings, or other engineering reviews.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Outlook).
• Working knowledge of CAD tools (AutoCAD or MicroStation), GIS, and/or SAP systems.
• Familiarity with performing and documenting engineering design and calculations.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and deadline-driven, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
