The ITS CAD Design Engineer creates and modifies detailed engineering drawings for roadside and gantry‑mounted intelligent traffic networks. This role bridges the gap between field instrumentation and data networks by mapping out structural layouts, electrical terminations, and communication pathways. All designs must strictly adhere to the Saudi Road Code (SRC), Tahakom specifications and KSA Ministry of Transport (MOT) standards.

• Cabinet Internal Design: Develop detailed internal layout drawings, component placement, and rail configurations for roadside networking cabinets and control cabinets
  .
• Power & Signal Distribution: Draft internal cabinet wiring schematics, power distribution layouts (AC/DC), surge protection arrangements, and cooling/ventilation system designs.
• System Design & Layouts: Draft 2D/3D structural equipment layouts for highway gantries, cantilevers, and roadside poles housing speed radars, ANPR cameras, and Variable Message Signs (VMS).
• Instrumentation Hook‑Ups: Create precise electrical termination drawings, loop detector installations, and physical field‑to‑cabinet interface layouts.
• Network & Fiber Mapping: Design structured cabling, fiber optic routing, and localized network topologies connecting field equipment to roadside switches and control centers.
• Infrastructure Containment: Draft underground conduit layouts, trenching cross‑sections, and cable containment paths while managing civil/utility clash detection.
• Environmental Optimization: Adapt design sheets to accommodate harsh desert conditions, incorporating specific ingress protection (IP65/IP66) and heat‑resilience metrics.
• Documentation Control: Manage engineering red‑lines, coordinate drawing layers, and deliver precise As‑Built packages and Bills of Materials (BOM).

• Experience: 3–5 years of CAD drafting experience, with 2+ years dedicated to ITS, highway infrastructure, or traffic enforcement projects (GCC/KSA experience highly preferred).
• Software: Expert command of AutoCAD or Micro Station. Exposure to Civil 3D or BIM workflows is an advantage.
• Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of industrial networking hardware (managed switches, media converters), physical media (fiber, copper), and basic protocol architectures (Ethernet, Serial, RS‑485, NTCIP).
• Standards & Compliance: Solid working knowledge of the Saudi Road Code (SRC), Tahakom requirements, and KSA transport authority standards.
• Language: Professional English proficiency is required;
  Arabic communication skills are a plus.

• Cross‑Functional Teamwork: Ability to collaborate seamlessly within a multi‑disciplinary team, aligning drafting outputs with the needs of civil, electrical, and network engineers.
• Time Management & Delivery: Strong organizational skills to manage multiple overlapping design deadlines and fast‑tracked project schedules effectively.
• Analytical Problem Solving: Proactive mindset to identify engineering layout errors, resolve physical utility clashes, and propose practical drafting solutions.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous precision in checking drawing layers, scale, annotations, and system schematics to minimize field errors.
• Adaptability & Resilience: Capability to work efficiently under pressure and easily adapt to frequent design revisions from clients or consultants.
