• Import and process survey information and existing-condition data.

• Coordinate survey base files with proposed engineering designs.

• Prepare permitting exhibits, construction details, quantity exhibits, and easement exhibits.

• Incorporate engineering revisions, municipal review comments, client feedback, and field information into construction documents.

• Perform internal QA/QC reviews.

• Identify potential utility, grading, drainage, and constructability conflicts.

• Manage multiple assignments and project deadlines.

• 5+ years of professional CAD drafting/design experience in civil engineering, land development, or a closely related field.

  .

• Experience preparing civil engineering construction plan sets.

• Experience with grading, paving, drainage, water, sanitary sewer, and site development plans.

• Working knowledge of Civil 3D surfaces, alignments, profiles, pipe networks, points, and data management.

• Ability to take an engineering concept or redline and develop it into a professional construction drawing.

• Strong understanding of drafting standards, drawing organization, scales, sheet layouts, and construction plan presentation.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify inconsistencies or conflicts.

• Ability to work independently while collaborating with engineers, surveyors, and project managers.

• Residential subdivision and commercial land development

• Roadway, water, wastewater, and storm drainage construction documents

• Texas municipal development standards and permitting

• Civil 3D data shortcuts, corridors, assemblies, grading tools, and pipe networks

• Coordination between civil, surveying, architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines

• Understanding of construction practices and constructability

We're looking for someone who understands how civil construction plans actually come together and can anticipate what engineers, contractors, municipalities, and clients need from a plan set.

The right person will be self-motivated, dependable, organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership of drafting assignments with limited supervision.

Candidates may be based in Midland, Houston, or Utah. Utah is a desirable location for this opening.
