The CAD Operator will provide the detailed digital documentation that enables engineers, architects, and project teams to communicate design intent clearly and accurately. The role requires disciplined control of drawings, revisions, file structures, and technical standards across multiple concurrent project activities. Accuracy is particularly important because CAD information may be used for construction, coordination, fabrication, or downstream engineering decisions. The operator will therefore review dimensions, symbols, annotations, and model content carefully before drawings are issued.

The position also supports continuous improvement in digital production. By maintaining templates, applying consistent standards, troubleshooting software issues, and refining drawing workflows, the CAD Operator will contribute to faster and more reliable project delivery.

Candidates should demonstrate strong professional experience in CAD operation, drafting, digital modeling, or technical drawing production within construction, engineering, architecture, or manufacturing environments. Up to 10 years of professional CAD operation experience is preferred by the source requirements. Proficiency in AutoCAD is essential. Experience with Revit, Solid Works, or similar industry-standard CAD and modeling platforms will provide additional value. Candidates should be comfortable producing and modifying both 2D drawings and 3D models while maintaining accurate dimensions, annotations, symbols, and technical references.
