CAD Drafter
Insight Global, San Antonio, TX, United States
Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a CAD Drafter for a leading downstream / midstream energy client. This individual will support a large-scale initiative to modernize and standardize utility system drawings across multiple refinery sites. The role focuses heavily on AutoCAD drafting, data cleanup, and preparation of drawings for GIS integration. This CAD Specialist will support utility system mapping across 15 refining sites. This is a central role focused on cleaning, organizing, and standardizing CAD utility drawings so they can be reliably imported into ArcGIS Pro and used to build an Esri Utility Network. This is an excellent opportunity for a CAD professional looking to expand into GIS‑adjacent work while contributing to high‑impact infrastructure and mapping projects in an industrial environment. This person’s day to day job functions will include but not be limited to:
Responsibilities
Utility CAD cleanup and standardization
Standardize layers, linetypes, colors, naming conventions, and drawing organization to an agreed site/program standard
Standardize blocks/symbols (block naming, insertion behavior, attribute usage where applicable)
Normalize annotation and ensure consistent feature representation across drawings (points/lines/polygons as appropriate)
Drawing consolidation and system “stitching”
Combine multiple utility drawings into a single cohesive system deliverable (or a consistent deliverable set) that represents an end‑to‑end utility network
Reconcile overlaps, gaps, misalignments, and inconsistent conventions between adjacent drawings or different source packages
Cross‑site coordination (15‑site support model)
Coordinate with Designers across MPC sites to identify, collect, and confirm the right CAD sources, redlines, and supporting references for each utility system
Track intake status, follow‑ups, and open questions with site contacts to keep work moving and reduce rework
CAD deliverables for GIS ingestion
Partner with GIS/data integration resources to ensure CAD outputs align with downstream ingestion needs (clean layers, consistent blocks/symbols, logical separation of content, and clear naming)
Provide handoff notes and documentation that explain what was changed, what assumptions were made, and what issues remain unresolved
Quality assurance / quality control
Perform QA/QC checks for completeness and consistency (missing layers, duplicate/incorrect blocks, stray geometry, annotation issues, etc.)
Maintain an issues log and resolution notes to support repeatability and auditability
Efficiency and automation (as applicable)
Use batch processes and/or scripting to accelerate repetitive cleanup work when appropriate
We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.

Skills and Requirements
Strong AutoCAD drafting experience
Experience cleaning up and organizing legacy CAD drawings
Familiarity with layering, standards, and drawing conventions
Ability to work with utility system drawings (pipelines, electrical, water, etc.)
Comfortable working in environments with inconsistent CAD standards
Strong attention to detail and data accuracy
Familiarity with how CAD is consumed in GIS (coordinate awareness, georeferencing concepts, feature separation)
Experience with CAD automation (e.g., LISP/VBA/scripts) or batch cleanup workflows
Familiarity with Refining/O&G facilities and utility systems (firewater, stormwater, sewer, potable water, steam/condensate, electrical ductbank, etc.)
Ability to understand Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs)
