Autocad Design Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Location: Peoria, AZ (100% Onsite)

Industry: Advanced Manufacturing / Semiconductor Infrastructure

Compensation: $120,000 – $150,000 Base Salary + Comprehensive Benefits

Are you an expert in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), BIM, and 3D model federation for complex industrial infrastructure?

We are seeking a highly skilled Staff Facilities BIM/CAD Engineer to serve as the owner’s representative for all digital asset management, CAD deliverables, and VDC coordination at our greenfield advanced manufacturing facility in Peoria, Arizona. In this cross-functional role, you will bridge the gap between design consultants, trade contractors, equipment suppliers, and facility engineering teams—ensuring that our physical build aligns seamlessly with our digital model throughout construction, commissioning, and long-term operations.

As the Staff Facilities BIM/CAD Engineer, you will build and maintain the master BIM/CAD database from initial consultant drawings through full facility handover. You will oversee multidisciplinary clash detection, establish drawing standards, coordinate tool hook‑up layouts, and manage the digital repository for all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, process, gas/chemical, and life safety infrastructure.

BIM Database & Standards Management: Establish, maintain, and expand the master BIM/CAD database and digital asset repository from consultant design documents. Ensure strict adherence to BIM execution plans, Level of Development (LOD) standards, and document control procedures.

3D Coordination & Clash Detection: Perform multidisciplinary model federation and clash detection using Navisworks and BIM tools to identify and resolve spatial conflicts across MEP, process utility routing, and structural systems before field installation.

Tool Hook‑up & Infrastructure Integration: Collaborate closely with tool installation designers to manage tool layouts, utility connection points, and space planning within cleanroom environments.

Owner Representation & Construction Support: Review design submittals, assess constructability, monitor jobsite installation progress against approved 3D models, and support commissioning through model verification.

Sustaining Operations & As‑Built Records: Manage updates to as‑built drawings and digital models following construction modifications. Provide operational teams with accurate, real‑time spatial and utility routing data for ongoing facility maintenance and office space planning.

Cross‑Disciplinary Partnership: Partner continuously with internal mechanical, electrical, process, controls, UPW, wastewater, gas/chemical, and fire protection engineering teams.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or an Associate’s degree in CAD/Drafting Technology.

Experience: 3+ years of hands‑on experience in Revit BIM, VDC, AutoCAD design coordination, or construction engineering.

Sector Focus: Direct experience working on high‑tech manufacturing facilities (e.g., semiconductor, microelectronics, pharmaceutical, data centers, or heavy industrial infrastructure) is strongly preferred.

Software Proficiency: Deep proficiency with Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

Technical Knowledge:

Proven experience with model federation, clash detection, and multidisciplinary coordination.

Strong ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings, P&IDs, specifications, and 3D schematics across MEP and specialized process utilities.

Solid grasp of BIM Execution Plans (BEP), LOD 100+ requirements, and data control management.

Location: Must be based in or willing to relocate to the Peoria / Greater Phoenix, AZ area for 100% on‑site support.

Competitive Base Salary: $120,000 – $150,000 (commensurate with experience).

Key Role in a Greenfield Build: Lead the VDC strategy for a major, state‑of‑the‑art industrial facility.

Comprehensive Benefits Package: Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, generous PTO, and professional development support.
