TL;DR · CAD-GIS Designer

The CAD-GIS Designer supports engineering teams by developing engineering drawings, 3D models, and geospatial workflows for thermal generation, transmission, and utility infrastructure projects. This role serves as a critical link between CAD and GIS systems, where the individual will establish data governance standards, manage data schemas, and create site layouts, equipment arrangements, and design packages. The position involves interpreting survey and hydrology data to support project development from early stages through construction. Key technical requirements include proficiency in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, or Revit for 2D and 3D modeling, alongside experience with ESRI products like ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap. Candidates should also possess skills in QGIS, Global Mapper, and Microsoft Office. The role focuses on solving integration challenges between CAD and GIS platforms to improve data consistency across large-scale infrastructure projects.

What you'll do

  • Create and maintain engineering drawings and 3D models for thermal generation, utility infrastructure, and substation projects.
  • Develop site layouts, equipment arrangements, P&IDs, and design packages in collaboration with multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
  • Interpret survey, hydrology, and site data to support project layouts and access planning.
  • Develop and maintain CAD-to-GIS workflows, data governance processes, and standardized naming conventions.
  • Identify and implement automation, scripting, and process improvements between CAD and GIS platforms.
  • Prepare maps, technical exhibits, and project materials to support decision-making and execution.
  • Establish and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), templates, and technical specifications for CAD and GIS deliverables.
  • Support the preparation of RFPs, RFIs, and contractor requirements related to engineering data.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, GIS, Geography, Environmental Science, or a related engineering or scientific discipline.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in CAD design, GIS, engineering support, infrastructure development, or a related field.
  • Intermediate to advanced experience creating 2D drawings and 3D models using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, Revit, or similar platforms.
  • Experience working with ESRI products including ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, and Portal to perform geospatial analyses.
  • Experience supporting CAD-to-GIS integration and data management workflows for infrastructure or engineering projects.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote.
  • Experience with QGIS, Global Mapper, or similar tools (preferred); Python programming or scripting experience (preferred).
