Engineering Technician

Job Title:

Engineering Technician

Job Description

The Engineering Technician provides dedicated drafting and documentation support to the engineering team by executing clearly defined CAD and Revit tasks. This role focuses on producing accurate drawings, maintaining model and documentation standards, and supporting legacy reconstruction efforts, without taking on design ownership, engineering decision-making, or client-facing responsibilities. The position is ideal for a detail-oriented technician who enjoys structured, task-based work and contributing to high-quality engineering deliverables in the healthcare and life sciences infrastructure space.

Responsibilities

* Provide drawing production support by building sheets from defined views and layouts, populating title blocks, placing views, and organizing sheets according to established standards.

* Apply standard annotations, tags, and notes to drawing sets and incorporate them into updated drawing packages as directed by engineers.

* Execute redlines by implementing markups provided by engineers, updating drawing sets based on iterative feedback, and maintaining clear version control between drawing iterations.

* Support library and standardization efforts by building and maintaining Revit families from defined inputs, creating standard details based on existing examples, and organizing and cleaning up detail libraries.

* Assist in the development of reusable drawing components that improve consistency and efficiency across projects.

* Perform model cleanup and maintenance in Revit, including removing unused families, views, and duplicates, organizing model structure, and improving naming, visibility, and sheet organization.

* Identify and fix annotation inconsistencies to enhance clarity and accuracy of models and drawing sets.

* Improve model performance and clarity by applying best practices for file organization, visibility settings, and content management.

* Provide documentation support by maintaining drawing logs and revision records, organizing file structures, and preparing submittal-ready packages focused on formatting and completeness.

* Export PDFs and assemble final deliverables according to project requirements and engineering direction.

* Complete repetitive modeling tasks such as copying and modifying standard layouts, adjusting dimensions after design changes, and placing equipment and families as directed by engineers.

* Update schedules from defined inputs, ensuring that changes accurately reflect the latest design information without altering design intent.

* Support advanced reconstruction and standardization efforts for legacy or incomplete design documentation, including rebuilding legacy or incomplete AutoCAD drawings in Revit using defined templates and example projects.

* Apply established design patterns and company standards to build structured and consistent Revit models and drawing packages.

* Assemble drawing packages based on reference designs and detailed direction from engineers, ensuring alignment with existing standards.

* Translate sketches, markups, or partial information into structured models while preserving the original design intent and avoiding independent design decisions.

* Identify gaps or missing information in provided inputs and clearly flag these issues for engineering resolution rather than making assumptions.

* Adhere strictly to the constraint that all design-related questions and uncertainties are escalated to the engineering team, without interpreting incomplete information or modifying layout intent.

* Work within a task-based, milestone-driven utilization model, managing workload that typically ranges between 10 and 25 hours per week depending on project phase.

* Adjust workload and priorities to align with higher utilization during documentation and revision phases and lower utilization during early design and concept phases.

* Execute assigned tasks only when requirements and direction are sufficiently defined to proceed without continuous supervision, supporting a flexible engineering workflow with shifting priorities.

Essential Skills

* At least 1 year of hands-on AutoCAD experience in an industry…
