Job Description Job Description
AutoCAD 3D Technician - Existing Utilities & Facility Mapping
Role Summary
Responsible for creating accurate 2D/3D AutoCAD drawings that document existing facility gridlines, water mains, wastewater piping, and other underground/above ground utilities. This role supports engineers and designers by producing clean, scalable base plans that allow new designs to be developed around verified existing conditions.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop detailed AutoCAD 2D/3D drawings showing structural gridlines, water distribution systems, wastewater networks, and related infrastructure.
- Import PDFs, scale them accurately, and overlay markups or traced geometry to convert field or legacy documents into usable CAD backgrounds.
- Interpret site plans, utility maps, as builts, and field data to create precise, organized layers and linework.
- Maintain drawing standards, naming conventions, and layer discipline to ensure clarity for downstream designers.
- Coordinate with engineers, project managers, and field teams to verify existing conditions and resolve discrepancies.
- Produce updated plan sets as new information becomes available.
Required Skills & Experience
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and AutoCAD 3D (Civil 3D experience a plus).
- Strong ability to scale, align, and mark PDFs within AutoCAD.
- Experience drafting utility systems (water, wastewater, storm, or industrial piping).
- Understanding of gridline systems, building layouts, and site infrastructure.
- Ability to read engineering drawings, as builts, and survey documents.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
Preferred
- Experience with GIS data, point clouds, or survey imports.
- Previous As-Built experience
- Familiarity with industrial facilities, municipal utilities, or site development.
