CADD Specialist

About the Positions

We’re seeking Computer-aided Drafting and Design (CADD) Specialists of various skill levels to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. We hire across roadway and bridge plan sets, rail and bus transit drawings, airfield and terminal packages, and water and wastewater conveyance drawings, so we are looking for real depth in heavy civil plan production rather than every discipline at once. You’ll verify submissions against project CADD standards, keep controlled drawing sets current and defensible, and build the exhibits and figures staff need to make and document decisions.

This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need.

Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:

Note: We are seeking candidates of various skill levels, and the following responsibilities represent the core of these roles. Scope and complexity increase with experience level.

• Review consultant and contractor drawing sets against the program’s CADD standards, including seed and template files, layer and level conventions, file naming, and sheet organization, and log nonconformance for correction.
• Check submitted plan sets for completeness, cross-referencing, scale, and datum consistency before technical reviewers spend time on them.
• Maintain the controlled drawing set, including revision control, submittal and transmittal logging, and release of the current issued-for-construction sheets to the program team.
• Develop drawings, exhibits, and figures in CADD that support the program team, such as right of way exhibits, staging and detour graphics, utility conflict figures, and exhibits supporting change and claim documentation.
• Compile and mark up plan sheets carrying design review comments, and track each comment to the drawing change that closes it.
• Verify that contractor and designer as-built and record drawings reflect approved changes, field directives, and accepted requests for information before they enter the permanent record set.
• Support quantity verification by taking off dimensions, areas, and lengths from approved plans and comparing them against contractor submitted quantities.
