What you’ll be challenged to do:

As aRevit/ CAD Designer
-Geotechnical Dams & Hydraulics, you will apply your designexpertisewithin a model-centric environment to deliver high-qualitydamand related infrastructure projects. You will develop and refine 3D design models, prepare construction documents, and coordinate closely with survey, utilities, structures, and other disciplines to ensure accurate, efficient project delivery. Working within established digital delivery workflows, you willleverageBIM tools and Common Data Environments to support collaboration, data integration, and model quality.

You will help resolve modeling and coordination challenges, integrate design data with GIS and other project information, and contribute to continuous improvement of model-based practices. This role requires a strong production mindset, attention to detail, and the ability to balance hands-on design responsibilities with effective participation in a digital delivery environment.

In this capacity, the successful candidate will be responsible for the following:

• Work within the project Common Data Environment (CDE) following established digital delivery workflows.
• Coordinate with the Digital Delivery and IT teams to ensure models, data, and standards are applied correctly.
• Support model setup, file organization, and data integration for projects.
• Assistwithmaintaining model quality, consistency, and alignment with project BIM standards.
• Troubleshoot basic modeling, referencing, and data exchange issues and escalat when needed.
• Integrate design models with GIS and other project data sources for improved project context.
• Participate in digital coordination meetings to support model alignment across disciplines.
• Stay current with relevant BIM tools, features, and model-centric design practices.
• Provide informal guidance to team members on model-based workflows and digital tools.
• Assist engineering staff with the development of roadway, drainage, and related dams, dam rehabilitations, and dam decommissioning along with their appurtenant structures using model-based workflows.
• Assist with the creation and modification of 3D models, alignments, profiles, and corridors using Autodesk design platforms.
• Assist with the preparation of construction documents, plan sheets, and design deliverables from project models, including the development of engineering design drawings,issued for construction.
• Interpret and develop site plans, profiles, sections, details, structural layouts, schematics, and equipment layoutforengineering design drawings, utilizinga firm grasp of civil and structural engineering concepts, such as surface grading,structures, structural reinforcement,and mechanical layout.
• Read and understand engineering markups for design drawings, planets, details,and figures, maintain attention to detail by back-checking and reviewing prepared design drawings.
• Coordinate design elements with survey, utilities, structures, and other disciplines
• Apply standards, client requirements, and project specifications to design tasks
• Ensure compliance with company and client standards with regard to CAD standards,stylesand protocols.
• Participate in project meetings to coordinate technical design and modeling decisions.
• Review design work for quality, accuracy, and constructability within the model environment.
• Support project delivery through all phases, including concept, preliminary, and final design.
• Assist with responding to review comments and revising models and plans accordingly.
• Managevarioustasks,working on multiple projects concurrently.
