The role focuses heavily on AutoCAD drafting, data cleanup, and preparation of drawings for GIS integration. This CAD Specialist will support utility system mapping across 15 refining sites. This is a central role focused on cleaning, organizing, and standardizing CAD utility drawings so they can be reliably imported into ArcGIS Pro and used to build an Esri Utility Network. This is an excellent opportunity for a CAD professional looking to expand into GIS-adjacent work while contributing to high-impact infrastructure and mapping projects in an industrial environment. This person's day to day job functions will include but not be limited to:
