Remote Per Diem Autocad Drafting information

What is a remote per diem AutoCAD drafter?

A Remote Per Diem AutoCAD Drafter is a professional who creates technical drawings and plans using AutoCAD software while working remotely, rather than onsite at an office. 'Per diem' means they are paid a daily rate or on an as-needed basis, rather than as a full-time salaried employee. These drafters collaborate with architects, engineers, or project managers to produce accurate drawings for construction, manufacturing, or design projects. Remote work allows them to provide their services to clients from any location, often with flexible scheduling.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote per diem AutoCAD drafter?

To thrive as a Remote Per Diem AutoCAD Drafter, you need proficiency in AutoCAD drafting, a solid understanding of design principles, and typically a degree or certificate in drafting or a related field. Expertise with AutoCAD software, file management systems, and familiarity with related tools like Revit or SketchUp are often required. Strong attention to detail, time management, and effective written communication are crucial soft skills for remote collaboration and accuracy. These competencies ensure precise technical drawings, efficient remote workflow, and high-quality deliverables that meet client specifications.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in remote per diem AutoCAD drafting roles, and how can they be managed?

Remote per diem AutoCAD drafters often face challenges such as coordinating effectively with project teams across different time zones, managing shifting project priorities, and maintaining clear communication without in-person meetings. To address these, it's important to establish regular check-ins with supervisors, use cloud-based file-sharing tools to access and update drawings in real time, and clarify expectations for deliverables at the outset of each assignment. Staying organized and proactive in communication helps ensure smooth project progress and successful collaboration with architects, engineers, and other stakeholders.

Job description

Overview
Location(s): Encinitas, CA
Practice/Department: Mappying/Surveying
Work Environment: Hybrid
Compensation: $38.00-47.50/hourly*
Dudek's journey began in 1980 with a vision to serve Southern California's water and wastewater agencies.
Today, we are a 100% employee-owned firm supporting clients nationwide and delivering projects that improve and protect the built and natural environments of communities throughout the United States. Our work has been recognized by leading industry organizations, and we've been honored with multiple national Top Workplace Awards.
Our employee-owners are unified by a singular commitment to supporting projects that address key societal issues, such as the transition to renewable energy, infrastructure hardening and repair, environmental protection, and community resilience.
Learn more about our award-winning culture, the benefits and perks of being a Dudekian, and the projects you will have the opportunity to shape.
Position Overview

How You'll Make an Impact
Dudek is seeking a detail-oriented As-Needed Survey Technician to join our growing Survey and Mapping team in Encinitas, California. This role focuses on applying survey drafting and technical skills to support boundary, topographic, and ALTA/NSPS survey deliverables. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, working across disciplines, and contributing beyond basic drafting.

This position offers an opportunity to work on varied projects, including plats, legal descriptions, point cloud/ LiDAR topography, and boundary mapping, in a collaborative and mentorship-driven environment.

  • Assist with aerial LiDAR and point cloud-based topographic mapping
  • Support hydrographic surveys and other specialized survey projects as needed
  • Perform survey calculations and data processing using tools such as Trimble Business Center or similar software
  • Collaborate closely with surveyors, engineers, and other project team members
  • Apply independent problem-solving and critical thinking to non-routine survey challenges
  • Follow written instructions, technical documentation, and QA/QC standards accurately
  • Adapt to evolving project requirements and unique survey deliverables typical of Dudek's work

Minimum Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent required
  • 5+ years of relevant survey, drafting, or CAD experience
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD and survey drafting software (e.g., Civil 3D; experience with MicroStation, InRoads, TopoDOT a plus)
  • Basic understanding of survey calculations, principles, terminology, and deliverables
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications
  • Ability to read, interpret, and produce survey deliverables accurately
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team environment
  • Demonstrated willingness to learn and adapt as survey workflows evolve
  • Must possess a valid driver's license and have active personal automobile liability insurance by first day of employment

Preferred Qualifications
  • LSIT (Land Surveyor-in-Training) certification preferred
  • Experience working with or producing ALTA/NSPS surveys, boundary/topographic mapping, plat and legal drafting
  • Additional familiarity with Esri/GIS tools or aerial data sources (LiDAR or point cloud workflows)
  • Ability to contribute to drafting standards and QA/QC processes
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy in technical deliverables
  • Motivated, curious, and willing to learn emerging survey technologies

Compensation: $38.00-47.50/hourly*
*Final agreed-upon compensation will be based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, an individual's related experience, education, certifications, skills, and work location. Successful candidates must pass a pre-employment drug test and background check prior to beginning employment.
