The ideal candidate is proactive, interested in improving workflows, comfortable introducing new tools, and motivated to grow into a leadership role.

Job Responsibility:

  • Review scoping documents provided by engineering teams
  • Analyze existing one-line diagrams for accuracy
  • Perform “plug‑and‑play” CAD updates, including removals, revisions, and additions
  • Begin with redline drafting and perform detailed quality verification
  • Recreate one-line diagrams in AutoCAD and assemble full drawing packages (approximately 30 drawings per project)
  • Follow established client standards, templates, and documentation procedures
  • Produce fast-turnaround drawing updates while maintaining high quality
  • Work within 2D CAD workflows to support outage sequencing documentation

Requirements:

  • 2–3 years of CAD drafting experience
  • Associate degree preferred (Engineering Technology, Drafting/Design, or similar field)
  • Background in electrical, civil, or mechanical drafting
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD
  • Understanding of one-line diagrams
  • Knowledge of utility and substation equipment
  • Ability to work efficiently with strong attention to detail
  • Strong verbal communication skills and willingness to ask questions

Nice to have:

  • Experience with CAD automation or scripting workflows
  • Prior experience in the utility or power industry
  • Familiarity with AI-powered productivity tools (e.g., ChatGPT+)
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and other insurance plans
  • ESPP (employee stock purchase program)
  • 401K program with company match after 12 months
  • HSA (Health Savings Account on the HDHP plan)
  • SupportLinc Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with up to 8 free counseling sessions
  • Corporate discount savings program
  • On-demand training program
  • Access to certification prep and a library of technical and leadership courses/books/seminars after 6+ months
