Senior CAD Designer​/Drafter

Wilson Engineering is seeking an experienced Senior CAD Designer / Drafter to join our team in our Bellingham, WA office. We are a civil engineering consulting firm serving municipal clients throughout Washington and Alaska, with a focus on water, wastewater, stormwater, transportation, and public infrastructure projects. This position is a great opportunity for an experienced CAD professional who enjoys producing high-quality design drawings and models and working closely with engineers on projects from preliminary design through construction.

This position will provide advanced CAD and BIM design and drafting support for municipal infrastructure projects. Work may include water and wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, stormwater facilities, roadways, site civil improvements, and related public works projects.

The ideal candidate will have at least five years of relevant experience and advanced proficiency in both AutoCAD Civil 3D and Autodesk Revit. This individual should be capable of working independently, developing detailed drawings and models from engineering concepts and markups, coordinating between multiple engineering disciplines, and helping maintain Wilson Engineering's CAD and BIM standards. This position will work closely with civil, mechanical, electrical, and control systems engineers and designers to develop coordinated, accurate, and constructible project documents.

• Prepare and maintain detailed engineering drawings, construction documents, and 3D models for municipal infrastructure projects.
• Develop Civil 3D drawings and models for water, wastewater, stormwater, transportation, utility, and site civil projects.
• Create and manage Civil 3D surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading objects, pipe networks, pressure networks, data shortcuts, and related design elements.
• Prepare plan and profile drawings, grading plans, utility plans, site plans, roadway plans, details, sections, and other civil construction documents.
• Develop and maintain Revit models for water and wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, buildings, process structures, and other municipal facilities.
• Coordinate Revit models and drawings between civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, architectural, and process disciplines.
• Integrate and coordinate Civil 3D and Revit workflows where projects require both civil site modeling and BIM-based facility design.
• Develop drawing sheets, details, schedules, annotations, families, templates, and other project documentation.
• Incorporate engineer markups, survey information, record drawings, GIS data, vendor information, and field measurements into project drawings and models.
• Perform interdisciplinary drawing and model coordination to identify conflicts and inconsistencies before project submittals.
• Assist engineers with development of design concepts and provide practical input regarding drawing organization, constructability, and CAD/BIM implementation.
• Maintain drawing organization, file structures, external references, data shortcuts, sheet sets, model links, and project standards.
• Support preparation of figures, exhibits, conceptual layouts, permit drawings, bid documents, and record drawings.
• Perform CAD/BIM quality control reviews and help ensure consistency across project drawing sets.
• Assist with development and maintenance of Wilson Engineering CAD and Revit standards, templates, libraries, styles, and workflows.
• Provide technical assistance and mentoring to other CAD users as needed.
• Coordinate effectively with engineers, project managers, surveyors, other designers, subconsultants, contractors, and client staff.
• Manage multiple project assignments and meet project schedules and deadlines.

• 5+ years of professional CAD/design experience supporting civil engineering, infrastructure, architectural, or related engineering projects.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D, including surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading, pipe networks, pressure networks, data shortcuts, styles, and plan production.
• Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit, including model development, work sharing, families, views, sheets, schedules, linking, and multidisciplinary coordination.
• Demonstrated ability to independently produce detailed, accurate, and well-organized construction drawings.
• Strong understanding of engineering drawing standards, plan preparation, detailing, and…
