Job description

Our client is a full-service engineering, design, and construction services firm providing comprehensive support for utility and infrastructure projects from planning and design through execution. Their multidisciplinary teams deliver practical, innovative solutions with a strong focus on cost efficiency, constructability, and long-term value.

With decades of experience across engineering, design, environmental, technical, and field services, the organisation supports complex civil infrastructure projects, including trenchless, geotechnical, and structural work. The team works closely with construction partners to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions on projects that shape critical infrastructure.

The Role

As a Lead CAD Technician, you will apply your technical CAD expertise to produce detailed, high-quality drawings with minimal supervision. Working closely with engineers and project teams, you will contribute to technically complex civil infrastructure projects that support utility, pipeline, and trenchless construction initiatives.

This is a hands‑on technical role requiring strong capability in AutoCAD Civil 3D. You will support the preparation of comprehensive drawing packages, help maintain drafting standards, and contribute to improving CAD workflows across the team.

As a senior technical contributor, you may also provide informal mentoring and guidance to less experienced technicians, helping maintain high standards of quality and consistency across deliverables.

Why Join?

Work on technically challenging infrastructure projects supporting large‑scale utility and pipeline work

Be part of a collaborative engineering team where technical expertise and attention to detail are highly valued

Contribute to projects that directly support critical infrastructure development

Access ongoing training and professional development

Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, life insurance, retirement plan, and additional benefits (plans may vary by role and location)

About You

You:

Have strong attention to detail and take pride in producing high-quality technical work

Enjoy working on complex engineering and infrastructure projects

Like solving technical challenges using modern tools and technology

Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with engineers and technical teams

Value working in a close‑knit, office‑based engineering environment

What It Takes

Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in drafting or a related field, or equivalent hands‑on experience

8+ years of CAD design/drafting experience (flexible for strong technical profiles)

Strong proficiency in AutoCAD and AutoCAD Civil 3D

Solid understanding of civil design principles, including alignments, profiles, and plan production

Working knowledge of GIS elements, coordinate systems, spatial data, and projections

Basic understanding of VBA or simple scripting to support workflow efficiency

Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Word, Outlook)

Strong critical thinking and problem‑solving ability

Valid driver’s license with acceptable driving record

Please note:

This role requires strong, proven Civil 3D capability, and candidates should expect to demonstrate technical skills as part of the interview process.
