Perform advanced CADD assignments while maintaining established drafting, layer, file management, and quality standards.

Coordinate drawing development and revisions with engineers, designers, project managers, and other disciplines.

Review drawings for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with applicable project and client standards.

Maintain organized electronic project files, drawing sets, reference files, and supporting documentation.

Assist with troubleshooting CADD-related issues and provide technical support or guidance to less-experienced staff as appropriate.

Support project teams in meeting schedules, deadlines, and quality expectations across multiple assignments.

What You'll Bring:

Associate degree or technical training in Drafting, CADD, Engineering Technology, or a related discipline preferred.

Minimum of 4 years of CADD/drafting experience supporting engineering, architecture, infrastructure, or related technical projects.

Bentley software experience required, including MicroStation and/or OpenRoads.
