Position Summary

We are seeking a Geostructural CAD Technician to support our Geostructural engineering team in the preparation of high-quality construction drawings and design documents. This role is integral to the successful delivery of complex geotechnical and structural projects, including foundations, earth retention systems, ground improvement, and excavation support. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, collaborative, and experienced in translating engineering concepts into clear, accurate CAD drawings.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare detailed 2D and 3D CAD drawings for geostructural and geotechnical engineering projects
• Develop plans, sections, profiles, and details for:
• Deep and shallow foundations
• Earth retention systems (e.g., soldier pile and lagging, sheet pile, secant pile walls)
• Ground improvement systems
• Excavation support and shoring systems
• Revise drawings based on engineering markups and design changes
• Coordinate drawings with structural, civil, and geotechnical disciplines to ensure accuracy and consistency
• Maintain CAD standards, layering conventions, and file organization in accordance with company guidelines
• Assist in the preparation of construction documents, permit submissions, and bid sets
• Support quality control efforts by checking drawings for completeness, constructability, and accuracy
• Participate in project coordination meetings as needed

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a CAD technician or designer in geotechnical, structural, or civil engineering
• Proficiency in AutoCAD (experience with Civil 3D or similar software is a plus)
• Understanding of geostructural systems, construction sequencing, and typical field practices
• Ability to read and interpret engineering sketches, calculations, and construction documents
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Effective written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate's degree or technical certification in Drafting, CAD Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, or a related field
• Experience working on civil, structural, or geotechnical projects
• Familiarity with industry standards and guidelines (e.g., construction tolerances, typical details)
• Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, or 3D modeling tools
• Experience supporting design-build or fast-paced construction projects
• GPR, drone, or survey experience will be considered a plus*
• **Extra bonus if they have GPR, drone, or survey experience!
