What You’ll Do

As a CAD Specialist, you will provide drafting, design, and quantity-takeoff support for heavy civil projects. Working closely with engineers, project managers, estimators, and field teams, you will create clear, accurate, and professional drawings, models, and quantity information to support project planning, estimating, construction, and project delivery.

Your work will help ensure project teams have reliable design documentation and measurable quantities throughout all stages of the project lifecycle.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Develop and maintain accurate 2D and 3D drawings and models using Autodesk Civil 3D and Revit.

• Produce site plans, layouts, grading plans, cross-sections, profiles, surfaces, corridors, pipe networks, details, and other technical drawings for civil, structural, and infrastructure projects.
• Perform quantity takeoffs from engineering drawings, Civil 3D models, Revit models, and other project documentation to support estimating, procurement, project planning, and construction activities.
• Extract, review, organize, and validate quantities from drawings and digital models, ensuring information is complete, traceable, and aligned with project scope, design documentation, and estimating requirements. Identify discrepancies, incomplete design information, and quantity risks, and communicate findings to the appropriate project team members for resolution.
• Prepare quantity reports, supporting calculations, and visual documentation for estimating teams, project managers, and client submissions.
• Update and revise drawings, models, and quantity information throughout the project lifecycle to reflect design changes, field conditions, and evolving project requirements.
• Collaborate with engineers, estimators, project managers, and field personnel to ensure drawings, models, and quantity takeoffs meet project requirements, standards, and constructability needs.
• Prepare visuals, presentation materials, and technical documentation to support project planning, coordination meetings, and client presentations.
• Ensure all CAD, model, and quantity-takeoff work follows company procedures, industry drafting standards, and project-specific requirements.
• Support the continuous improvement of CAD templates, model libraries, quantity-takeoff workflows, and digital-delivery standards.
