Job description

We’re looking for an experienced CAD Technician with experience working across civil, geotechnical, and construction projects. The ideal candidate understands how drawings translate into real-world work and can move easily between design updates, field data, and construction requirements.

The CAD Technician / Civil Drafter is responsible for preparing detailed drawings, plans, and technical documents for construction projects. This role supports engineers and project teams by producing accurate 2D / 3D drawings, updating revisions, and ensuring that all designs comply with project standards and engineering principles.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Prepare IFR and IFC drawing packages for civil, earthworks, grading, servicing, and geotechnical structures.
  • Create clear and buildable construction details, sections, and plan / profile sheets.
  • Build accurate base files and surfaces from survey pickups, drone photogrammetry, borehole / test pit data, and site topography.
  • Support engineers and field staff with design iterations, redlines, construction-stage updates, and quick-turnaround drafting.
  • Produce drawings for temporary works, staging plans, site layouts , and field coordination.
  • Project needs vary—expect up to 60% office or 80% field at different times (drafting, layout, survey pickups, drone topo, etc.).

Drafting & Design

  • Prepare 2D and 3D drawings, layouts, and construction plans using AutoCAD or other CAD software.
  • Develop drawings for civil works such as roads, utilities, grading, drainage, foundations, and structural elements.
  • Update and revise drawings based on engineer or project manager feedback.
  • Technical Documentation

  • Maintain drawing registers, CAD files, and revision history.
  • Ensure that all drawings meet company drafting standards, codes, and project specifications.
  • Assist in preparing BOQs, as-built drawings, and shop drawings.
  • Coordination

  • Work closely with civil engineers, architects, and site teams to gather and interpret technical data.
  • Coordinate with subcontractors and consultants to ensure drawing accuracy and alignment with project requirements.
  • Participate in design review meetings and incorporate changes accordingly.
  • Site Support

  • Provide technical support to site teams by explaining plans, measurements, and design details.
  • Conduct site visits (if required) to verify dimensions, collect information, or support as-built preparation.
  • Quality & Compliance

  • Ensure drawings adhere to local construction standards, engineering principles, and safety regulations.
  • Perform self-checks and quality reviews to maintain accuracy and consistency.
  • Requirements

  • Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering Technology, Drafting, or a related discipline.
  • 1–3 years of experience as a CAD Technician, Civil Drafter, or similar role in a construction or engineering company.
  • CET Certified Engineer Technologist would be preferable.
  • Experience with infrastructure, building, or structural projects is an advantage.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD (essential).
  • Knowledge of Civil 3D, Revit, MicroStation, or other design software is a plus.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and survey data.
  • Familiarity with drafting standards, layers, scales, and dimensioning.
  • Strong background in civil drafting , including surfaces, alignments, corridors, and utilities.
  • Experience drafting geotechnical features : slopes, shoring, GRS / retaining systems, earthworks, foundations.
  • Field survey experience —GPS rover, total station, layout, as-builts.
  • Comfort working with drone photogrammetry (Pix4D, DJI Terra, or similar) and processing digital surfaces.
  • Ability to interpret engineering sketches, field notes, and construction requirements.
  • Practical mindset and an understanding of how civil and geotechnical designs get built on site.
  • Software & Data Experience

  • AutoCAD / Civil 3D
  • Photogrammetry tools (e.g., Pix4D, DJI Terra)
  • Handling survey file formats (LAS, CSV, XYZ, TXT, etc.)
  • The ideal candidate is someone who can work independently, collaborate with engineers and field staff, and take ownership of drawing packages from early design through construction

    Benefits

  • Opportunity to help lead a growing business.
  • Collaborative and innovative work environment.
  • Excellent compensation and benefits package.
  • Salary range $60,000 to $98,000, dependent on experience.
  • Diverse range of projects.
  • Create a job alert for this search
