Invenergy is North America’s largest privately held developer, owner, and operator of power infrastructure. With 25 years of trusted execution, we deliver reliable, affordable energy through a diverse portfolio that includes natural gas, solar, land-based wind, energy storage, transmission, and domestic manufacturing. Headquartered in Chicago, we develop, own, and operate large scale projects that power communities and support the energy future. This position will be open for application for at least 3 calendar days from the posting date. This position will remain open for application based on business need, which may be before or after the 3-day posting window.

The CAD-GIS Designer will support Invenergy's engineering teams by developing engineering drawings, 3D models, and geospatial workflows across thermal generation, transmission, and utility infrastructure projects. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Routing & Siting, this role will serve as a key link between CAD and GIS systems, helping establish data governance standards, improve project workflows, and support engineering teams throughout the project lifecycle. The ideal candidate combines strong CAD design capabilities with GIS knowledge, a problem-solving mindset, and the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, permitting, development, and project management teams. While prior experience in a specific energy technology (e.g. thermal, wind, solar) is not required, candidates should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and eager to learn new technical disciplines.

Candidates that have strong interdisciplinary skills to work with team members outside of the engineering disciplines and understand related fields (e.g., GIS, permitting, and development) and project lifecycles (e.g., construction and operations & maintenance (O&M)) are encouraged to apply.
