What is a GIS CAD designer?

GIS CAD Designers are professionals who use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to create, manage, and analyze spatial data and technical drawings. They play a crucial role in engineering, architecture, urban planning, and environmental management by integrating geospatial information with detailed design plans. Their work supports decision-making by providing accurate maps, schematics, and models used in construction, infrastructure development, and land management projects.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a GIS CAD designer?

To thrive as a GIS CAD Designer, you need a strong background in geographic information systems (GIS), computer-aided design (CAD), spatial analysis, and typically a degree in geography, engineering, or a related field. Proficiency in software such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and other mapping or modeling tools, along with relevant certifications, is often required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills help professionals excel in interpreting data and collaborating with teams. These competencies ensure accurate, efficient mapping and data integration, which are crucial for infrastructure planning and decision-making.

How does a GIS CAD designer collaborate with engineers and surveyors on a project?

GIS CAD Designers work closely with engineers and surveyors by integrating field data and technical drawings into GIS platforms. They often translate survey measurements and engineering sketches into precise digital maps and spatial datasets, ensuring that all project stakeholders have access to accurate and up-to-date information. Regular communication and file exchanges are common, as designers must update plans based on feedback and new survey data. This collaborative process helps maintain data integrity and streamlines project workflows, especially on large infrastructure or land development projects.

What is the difference between Gis Cad Designer vs GIS Analyst?

AspectGis Cad DesignerGIS Analyst
CredentialsCAD certifications, GIS trainingGIS certifications, analytical skills
Work EnvironmentDesign-focused, drafting in CAD softwareData analysis, mapping, reporting
Industry UsageUrban planning, engineering projectsEnvironmental, transportation, resource management

Gis Cad Designers primarily focus on creating detailed spatial designs using CAD software, often working closely with engineers and architects. GIS Analysts analyze spatial data to support decision-making and project planning. While both roles require GIS knowledge, the Gis Cad Designer emphasizes drafting and design, whereas the GIS Analyst concentrates on data analysis and mapping.

Full-time
Description
The Opportunity
RETTEW is seeking a Survey CAD Designer to join our Survey & GIS Team. This role is a great fit for a CAD professional with strong AutoCAD Civil 3D skills who wants to expand their experience into surveying and geospatial project work.
Previous survey drafting experience is valuable, but it is not required. If you have a solid Civil 3D foundation, strong attention to detail, and experience collaborating with technical project teams, RETTEW can help you develop the survey-specific skills needed for the role.
You'll support projects across transportation, land development, municipal, energy, environmental, and other infrastructure markets while working closely with survey field teams, project managers, engineers, and other technical professionals.
Work Environment
Workplace Designation: Hybrid
Locations: Williamsport, PA or Mechanicsburg, PA
This position combines in-office collaboration with remote-work flexibility in alignment with RETTEW's applicable hybrid schedule.
What You'll Do
As a Survey CAD Designer, you will use Civil 3D to transform field and project information into accurate drawings, mapping, and survey deliverables.
Depending on your previous experience, you may work with boundary and topographic surveys, ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys, subdivision plans, easement and right-of-way exhibits, existing-conditions mapping, construction stakeout information, and other survey deliverables.
You'll collaborate directly with survey field teams and project managers while developing deeper knowledge of survey data, standards, workflows, and production methods.
As a Survey/GIS CAD Designer at RETTEW, you will:
  • Prepare and revise survey drawings, mapping, exhibits, and other project deliverables using AutoCAD Civil 3D.
  • Work with field and project data to support accurate CAD production.
  • Develop and maintain drawing layouts, annotation, linework, surfaces, points, and other Civil 3D elements as applicable to project needs.
  • Incorporate redlines, review comments, CAD standards, templates, and project requirements into deliverables.
  • Support preparation of boundary, topographic, ALTA/NSPS, subdivision, easement, right-of-way, existing-conditions, and other survey drawings.
  • Collaborate with survey field crews to understand field information and resolve questions or inconsistencies.
  • Coordinate with Professional Land Surveyors and Survey Project Managers regarding project requirements and deliverables.
  • Coordinate survey information with engineering, design, and other multidisciplinary project teams.
  • Support quality-control processes to help ensure drawings are accurate, complete, and consistent with project standards.
  • Develop proficiency with survey field data, GPS/GNSS information, total-station data, point files, drone/UAS data, point clouds, and other survey technologies as project needs and experience progress.
Qualifications
Required
  • Demonstrated working proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D in a professional CAD, design, engineering, surveying, or infrastructure environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate CAD production.
  • Ability to incorporate technical review comments and revisions into drawings.
  • Ability to manage multiple assignments and meet project deadlines.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with project managers, technical professionals, multidisciplinary teams, and field personnel.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.
  • Associate degree in CAD, drafting, surveying technology, civil engineering technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience.

Additional Experience We Value
  • Survey drafting or survey-production experience.
  • Boundary or topographic survey plan preparation.
  • ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey experience.
  • Surface creation and topographic mapping.
  • Survey point management, point groups, and linework.
  • GPS/GNSS or total-station data.
  • Subdivision plans and plats.
  • Easement or right-of-way exhibits.
  • Existing-conditions or utility mapping.
  • Reading deeds, plats, easements, or survey records.
  • Drone/UAS or point-cloud data.
  • Survey drawing QA/QC.

Survey-specific experience is not required. Candidates with strong Civil 3D experience from other civil engineering or infrastructure disciplines are encouraged to apply.
What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications.
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), giving employees a stake in RETTEW's long-term success.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits.
  • Hybrid work environment with structured flexibility.
  • An opportunity to expand strong Civil 3D skills into surveying, mapping, and geospatial applications.
  • Hands-on exposure to field-to-finish survey workflows and technologies.
  • Training and mentorship from experienced survey professionals.
  • Opportunities to work across transportation, land development, municipal, environmental, energy, and infrastructure projects.
  • Professional development and opportunities for continued technical and career growth.
