About the Role
We are seeking a
mid-level CAD Technician
to support transmission engineering projects up to 500kV by preparing accurate layouts and technical design drawings. This individual will work closely with engineers and project teams to deliver high-quality drafting packages that meet client standards, timelines, and budgets.
Key Responsibilities
Develop, modify, and maintain AutoCAD drawings (≈85% of role) in alignment with NEI drafting standards and project requirements
Translate engineering concepts, specifications, and markups into accurate, high-quality drawing packages
Produce and update core deliverables, including:
Assembly drawings
Framing drawings
Cover sheets
Special crossing exhibits
Foundation drawings
Interpret and implement engineering markups and redlines, ensuring accuracy and design intent are maintained
Collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and project teams to align deliverables with project scope, timelines, and technical requirements
Utilize Excel for data linking and drawing coordination across multiple design packages
Support underground transmission design efforts using Autodesk Civil 3D, including utility identification and crossing analysis
Participate in live collaboration sessions to review designs, incorporate feedback, and iterate in real time
Manage and contribute to multiple projects simultaneously across various design stages, from early development through submittal
Maintain a high level of accuracy, organization, and documentation quality in a dynamic, fast-paced project environment
Team Structure & Environment
Transmission department consists of ~11 team members across 2 engineering teams
Reports directly to a Team Lead
Works closely with:
Phase Project Manager (PPM – senior engineering lead)
Design Engineers
Designers
QA/QC resources
Required Qualifications
1–5 years of experience in CAD drafting/design (AutoCAD-heavy environment)
Proficiency in AutoCAD (non-negotiable)
Experience collaborating with engineering/design teams
Strong communication and ability to interpret redlines/markups
Experience with Microsoft Excel for coordination and data linking
Associate degree in a related field (or equivalent experience)
Nice-to-Have Skills
xywuqvp
Experience with Autodesk Civil 3D (especially for underground transmission work)
Exposure to PLS-CADD or transmission line design tools
Background in power systems, utilities, or transmission projects
Familiarity with tools like Bentley MicroStation or similar platforms
Why This Role Stands Out
Clear path to grow into a Transmission Designer role (especially with PLS-CADD exposure)
Exposure to high-voltage infrastructure and renewable energy projects
Work on large-scale, impactful projects supporting grid expansion and data center growth
Strong, collaborative team environment with experienced engineers
Stable and growing project pipeline
Apply
If you’re a detail-oriented CAD professional looking to grow within transmission and utility engineering, we encourage you to apply.
