  • Support and improve Osborn’s AutoCAD/Civil 3D configurations and custom tools, including:
    • Coordinating updates and deployments for licensing components (as needed).
    • Helping manage user access across vendor portals and internal groups.
    • Supporting license servers and license manager configurations in partnership with IT.

Specialized Software Installations

  • Coordinate installation and support for specialized AEC software used in civil and water resources design helping ensure consistent versions, licensing, interoperability, and a smooth user setup.

Job Requirements/Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of design technology support experience in infrastructure design or AE digital workflows.
  • Proficiency with Autodesk Civil 3D.
  • Strong technical problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to communicate with IT on software installations, configurations, and licensing.

Preferred but not required

  • Familiarity with the Autodesk Construction Cloud ecosystem.
  • Familiarity with civil and water resources software tools (e.g., L-Pile, HydroCAD/WaterCAD, PCSWMM)
  • Scripting or customization experience (e.g., AutoLISP; exposure to C#, Python, Dynamo, or web development is a plus).
  • Familiarity with Esri/ArcGIS.

  • Reliable
  • Team Player
  • Self-starter
  • Positive Attitude
  • Strong work ethic
