Fehr Graham is a fast-growing Midwest Engineering and environmental firm seeking a motivated CAD Designer with a flair for creating designs using Revit and/or AutoCAD Civil 3D to join our team. You'll play a crucial role in supporting our engineering and environmental projects. 
What's in it for you?
We offer an exciting and engaging work environment where every day brings new challenges and opportunities. You'll play a crucial role in supporting our engineering and environmental projects. You'll use your expertise to create and interpret 2D and 3D CAD drawings. This role involves generating building models and structures, and producing comprehensive construction drawings and documentation. We're not just a workplace - we're a team. We offer a collaborative environment where CAD technicians, engineers, environmental scientists and others come together to share and grow professionally.

 The position is based in our West Union, Iowa, office. At Fehr Graham, we believe in work-life balance, and that includes injecting a healthy dose of fun into everything we do.
