Senior CAD Designer -- Part-Time

Description

This role offers a hybrid/remote work arrangement. The expectations are that you would work 20-30 per week, and if possible, spend at least one day a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days.

This designer/drafter position is expected to work in a multi-discipline project team to develop accurate 2D drawing packages that meet client, code, and company standards while supporting safe, constructible, and timely project delivery. Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Prepare design deliverables in CAD (e.g., physical layouts and sections; civil grading and drainage plans; structural steel/concrete layouts and details; mechanical equipment layouts, piping GAs/isometrics/supports; and single line/wiring/schematic drawings and related documents).
• Use tools such as AutoCAD, MicroStation, Civil 3D, Navisworks, and other 3D design software to draft, check, and revise designs, including bills of material and associated documentation.
• Interpret and incorporate information from engineers, vendor drawings, specifications, standards, and topographic/field data into coordinated design deliverables.
• Identify and help resolve design issues (interferences, grading conflicts, system layout problems, wiring inconsistencies, etc.) and support clash/coordination reviews across disciplines.
• Perform thorough self-checks of drawings, apply client and company standards consistently, and ensure completeness, accuracy, and constructability of issued deliverables.
• Support and sometimes lead field activities such as walkdowns and data gathering at client facilities, and update designs based on field conditions.
• Collaborate closely with engineers and designers from other disciplines, communicate progress and issues, and help maintain project schedules and priorities.
• Maintain and grow practical knowledge of engineering and design principles, including the ability to visualize parts and systems in 3D and relate equipment, wiring, and structures to the overall plant or substation design.
