  • 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+)

  • 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
