Required Qualifications:
  • Associate degree in CAD Drafting or a related field, or completion of a certified Autodesk Civil 3D training program, plus at least five years of relevant work experience.
  • Proven proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D for civil design, including feature lines, grading objects, survey points, profiles, surfaces, and pipe networks.
  • Experience using Civil 3D labels.
  • Excellent communication skills - interpersonal, listening, oral, and written.
  • Skilled in Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and general PC usage.
  • Knowledge of standard drafting practices and procedures.
  • Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and manage time effectively.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience designing ADA curb ramps, utilities, drainage, and roadway elements.
  • Familiarity with ADA design parameters for roadways, streets, and site grading.
  • Ability to generate layout drawings from sketches or specifications.

Physical Requirements:
