This role will work closely with civil engineers and other technical disciplines to translate engineering requirements, survey data, and project criteria into accurate, constructible drawing packages. The ideal candidate has strong AutoCAD skills, hands-on Civil 3D experience, and experience producing civil drawings for large land development or energy projects. Responsibilities Prepare conceptual, preliminary, and final civil design drawings for utility-scale solar, battery energy storage, and large land development projects. Develop site layouts, grading plans, access roads, drainage features, erosion and sediment control plans, and other civil design elements under the direction of project engineers. Use AutoCAD Civil 3D to develop and manage surfaces, alignments, profiles, grading features, corridors, and other site design elements. Develop grading surfaces from topographic surveys, project layouts, and engineering criteria. Perform earthwork calculations and develop cut/fill quantities to support site design and constructability evaluations. Review survey, geotechnical, environmental, and other project reference documents and incorporate relevant information into project base files and drawing packages. Coordinate with civil, structural, electrical, and other engineering disciplines to ensure site infrastructure is accurately represented and integrated across the design package. Work with project engineers to incorporate technical requirements, design revisions, and engineering comments into drawings. Prepare and maintain drawing sets using established drafting standards, templates, sheet sets, blocks, external references, and file-management practices. Extract coordinates, points, surfaces, quantities, and other drawing information needed to support construction and field activities. Identify design conflicts and constructability issues and work with engineers to develop practical solutions. Manage design responsibilities across multiple concurrent projects while meeting project schedules and deliverable requirements. Perform drawing reviews and quality checks for completeness, consistency, and adherence to company and project standards. Basic Qualifications Professional experience using AutoCAD for civil drafting and design. Working proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D. Experience developing civil drawing packages for land development, site development, infrastructure, or similar projects. Understanding of civil drafting standards and drawing production practices. Experience working with survey data, existing conditions, contours, and topographic surfaces. Proficiency with sheet sets, blocks, external references (Xrefs), layers, and drawing/file management. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, surveys, and technical documentation. Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a deadline-driven environment. Preferred Qualifications Experience designing utility-scale solar PV or battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. Experience with large-scale grading, earthwork optimization, stormwater management, and erosion and sediment control design. Experience developing access roads, drainage systems, and other site infrastructure. Experience with additional 2D or 3D civil design or modeling software outside the Autodesk platform. Experience with Bluebeam Revu or Adobe Acrobat for drawing review and markup. Experience with AutoCAD customization or automation using AutoLISP, .NET, Python, Dynamo, or similar tools. Familiarity with construction drawings and the use of civil design data for field layout and construction. Work Location This position is based in our Glen Allen, Virginia office and is expected to work primarily in the office. The role will work closely with our civil engineering and project teams on the development of civil design packages for utility-scale energy projects.
