Job description

At Fuss & O'Neill, we're more than a multidisciplinary engineering and consulting firm - we're a team driven by collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence. As we continue to grow, we are seeking an experienced CAD Manager to lead and elevate CAD/BIM standards, workflows, and support across the organization.
This is a unique opportunity for a highly technical and collaborative professional to shape firmwide CAD operations, influence design technology strategy, and support project teams across multiple disciplines and offices. If you enjoy solving complex production challenges, mentoring teams, and improving design workflows, we'd love to connect with you.
  • Develop, test, implement, and administer firmwide AutoCAD scripts, workflows, standards, and processes 
  •  Coordinate testing and deployment of CAD tools and scripts alongside software upgrades and IT initiatives 
  •  Lead and facilitate firmwide CAD coordination meetings and collaboration efforts 
  •  Provide ongoing AutoCAD and Civil 3D training and technical support to staff across the organization 
  •  Partner with subject matter experts to improve workflows for additional platforms including Revit, MicroStation, OpenRoads, BIM, and GIS 
  •  Troubleshoot advanced CAD/BIM production issues and coordinate solutions with IT and software partners 
  •  Maintain and improve documentation for standards, procedures, and workflows while ensuring consistency across teams 
  •  Support project teams with setup, file organization, and production best practices 
  •  Help drive continuous improvement initiatives related to design technology, production efficiency, and quality standards
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Engineering Technology, Drafting, Architecture, Construction Technology, or a related field preferred 
  •  10+ years of CAD/BIM design or management experience within an engineering, architecture, or consulting environment 
  •  3+ years of leadership, supervisory, or management experience preferred 
  •  Expert-level proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D 
  •  Experience developing CAD standards, templates, scripts, and workflows 
  •  Working knowledge of BIM platforms, MicroStation, OpenRoads, Revit, and GIS tools is a plus 
  •  Strong troubleshooting, communication, and organizational skills 
  •  Ability to collaborate effectively across multiple offices and disciplines
  • Ability to travel approximately 30% of the week to various Fuss & O'Neill offices

This is a hybrid role, offering the best of both worlds-collaborate in-office with a high-performing team and enjoy the flexibility of working remotely part of the week. We're committed to supporting work-life balance while maintaining strong team connection and project delivery.
  • Schedule Flexibility: Customize your work schedule to fit your life.
  •  Health & Wellness: Comprehensive health benefits to keep you and your family healthy.
  •  Continuous Learning: Access to online courses, conferences, and learning materials to fuel your professional growth.
  •  Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge with our generous paid time off policy.
  •  Career Advancement: Clear paths for promotions and the opportunity to take on new challenges.
  •  Fun Team Culture: Regular team-building activities, happy hours, and company outings.

The range posted here represents the range of salaries associated with the specific experience listed.  Actual individual compensation is commensurate with relevant experience, education and certifications.
