• Utilize Autodesk Civil 3D to create and modify alignments, surfaces, grading models, utility networks, and corridor elements associated with water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
• Review engineering calculations, sketches, markups, specifications, and survey information to produce accurate and constructible design documents.
• Assist with the preparation of utility plans, pump station site layouts, treatment plant improvements, drainage plans, erosion control plans, and permitting exhibits.
• Generate supporting engineering documentation including quantity takeoffs, project exhibits, details, schedules, and record drawing updates.
• Perform quality control reviews of drawings and plan sets to ensure drafting accuracy, consistency, and compliance with client standards, municipal requirements, and industry best practices.
• Coordinate with survey, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and process engineering teams to integrate design elements and resolve conflicts throughout project development.
• Support project delivery efforts by maintaining drawing standards, managing revisions, and assisting with project closeout documentation.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives related to CAD standards, workflows, and design efficiency.

What You'll Need:

• 4–8 years of CAD drafting and design experience supporting civil infrastructure, water/wastewater, municipal, or utility projects.
• Strong proficiency with Autodesk Civil 3D and AutoCAD, including experience developing surfaces, grading models, utility networks, plan and profile sheets, and construction plan sets.
• Experience producing engineering drawings for water distribution, wastewater collection, treatment plants, pump stations, utility infrastructure, or municipal public works projects.
• Understanding of civil engineering design principles, construction documents, and permitting requirements.
• Ability to interpret engineering calculations, technical specifications, and design standards.
