Western Modeling Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About DJ&A

DJ&A is a multidisciplinary engineering firm providing civil, structural, survey, and environmental services across the western United States. We leverage an integrated design approach combining BIM, CAD, GIS, and facility data to support projects from planning through construction.

Our teams collaborate across offices to deliver coordinated, efficient designs for infrastructure and facility projects throughout the region.

Position Overview

DJ&A is seeking a CAD/BIM Modeling Specialist to support project teams in developing accurate 2D and 3D models and producing coordinated construction documents. This role is essential to translating engineering concepts into buildable drawings and improving design coordination across disciplines.

This position will support a growing workload in multiple offices, with immediate opportunities to contribute on active projects.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain BIM and CAD models using Revit and AutoCAD
• Produce plans, sections, and detailed construction drawings from concept through final design
• Coordinate with civil, structural, and architectural disciplines to resolve model conflicts
• Convert engineering markups into clear, buildable drawing packages
• Support model-based coordination efforts, including clash detection workflows
• Maintain project file organization, modeling standards, and sheet consistency
• Assist with revisions, deliverables, and schedule-driven production efforts
• Participate in internal QC reviews to improve model and drawing accuracy
• Contribute to the development and refinement of internal BIM/CAD standards

Minimum Qualifications

• Associate degree in drafting, engineering technology, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years of CAD/BIM production experience in an engineering or consulting environment
• Proficiency in:
  • Autodesk Revit
  • AutoCAD
• Experience developing construction document packages
• Ability to interpret markups and incomplete design information
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple assignments

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in multidisciplinary project environments
• Experience coordinating BIM models across disciplines
• Familiarity with structural systems (steel, concrete, CMU, Wood, foundations) and/or site design
• Experience with clash detection or model coordination tools
• Ability to identify and communicate design conflicts during model development

Industry expectations for this role include independent judgment and active support of engineering design, not just drafting execution.

Work Environment

• Collaborative, team-based project delivery across multiple offices
• Direct interaction with engineers, project managers, and design staff
• Fast-paced environment with diverse project types and schedules
• Opportunity to contribute to projects throughout the western U.S., including a growing presence in the eastern U.S.
