Summary

The AutoCAD Designer (Civil 3D) supports the Engineering team by producing high-quality civil site plans, exhibits, and permit-ready deliverables for energy and infrastructure projects. This role is hands-on in Civil 3D and focused on accurate plan production, surface modeling, layout drafting, and incorporation of engineering direction into clear, constructible drawings. Typical project work includes well pad grading, access roads, drainage-related exhibits, and stormwater permitting support.

The CAD Designer works closely with Engineers, Engineering Managers, and internal teams (Survey, GIS, Permitting, and Project Management) to ensure base data accuracy, coordination with engineering requirements, adherence to client and jurisdiction standards, and consistent quality control prior to submittal. The position requires strong Civil 3D skills, attention to detail, and a production-focused mindset to support project schedules and budgets.

Expected Results in the Role

Deliver accurate, complete civil plan sets and exhibits that align with client standards and jurisdiction requirements, with minimal rework.Independently produce standard civil deliverables (grading plans, access road layouts, drainage and stormwater exhibits) based on engineering direction and established standards.Coordinate effectively with engineering staff to accommodate drainage requirements, constraints, and design intent within plan sets and exhibits.Consistently apply drafting standards, templates, and CAD best practices to maintain clean, organized, and permit-ready drawings.Maintain strong utilization, accurate time tracking, and a production-focused approach that supports project budgets and schedules.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Project Kickoff and Workflow Support

Review incoming requests to understand scope, required deliverables, schedule, and applicable client and jurisdiction standards.Gather and validate inputs including survey data, GIS layers, existing surfaces, prior exhibits, and client CAD standards.Identify missing or conflicting information and coordinate with engineering staff to resolve issues and confirm design assumptions early.Organize project files and establish a clear drafting workflow aligned with internal standards.

Civil CAD Production and Drafting

Produce civil site drawings and exhibits in Civil 3D, including grading plans, surfaces, access road alignments and layouts, site layout and plan-view exhibits

Develop drainage- and stormwater-related exhibits based on engineering input, criteria, and direction.

Coordinate with engineering staff to ensure drainage requirements, flow paths, and stormwater concepts are accurately reflected in plan sets and exhibits.Support stormwater permitting deliverables by producing BMP exhibits, SWPPP/SWMP figures, and related plan sheets as required by project scope.Translate engineering markups, redlines, and review comments into accurate, well-organized CAD drawings.Revise and update plan sets and exhibits as designs progress.

QA/QC and Deliverable Readiness

Perform self-QC on drawings prior to Engineering review to ensure correct geometry, labeling, scales, and symbology.Verify drawings align with project scope, engineering direction, client standards, and jurisdiction submittal requirements.Incorporate review comments accurately and efficiently.Assist with final plan set organization and packaging for submission or handoff.

Coordination and Team Support

Coordinate with Engineers to confirm grading intent, drainage requirements, and design constraints affecting plan production.Coordinate with Survey and GIS teams to confirm base data accuracy and updates.Coordinate with Permitting and Project Management staff to confirm exhibit requirements, schedules, and jurisdiction expectations.Communicate progress, questions, and constraints clearly to keep work moving and avoid late-stage rework.Support junior CAD staff or production support, as appropriate, through guidance and informal QA/QC.

Standards, Templates, and Continuous Improvement

Follow established CAD standards, templates, and QA/QC procedures.Contribute to the improvement of drafting workflows, templates, and checklists.Document common drafting practices, client standards, and jurisdiction requirements to support consistency and onboarding.Identify opportunities for automation and efficiency within Civil 3D and CAD workflows.

Time, Budget, and Production Tracking

Maintain accurate time entry and task coding in the company timekeeping system.Monitor assigned work against schedules and communicate risks or delays early.

Supervisory Responsibilities

This position does not have formal people-management responsibilities.Depending on experience level and workload, the CAD Designer may provide task-level guidance or QA/QC support to junior CAD staff under the direction of the Engineering Manager.
