  • Model and detail foundations (driven piles, screw and helical piles, and cast-in-place concrete), overhead steel structures, building envelopes, and non-building structures.
  • Generate foundation bills of material (BOMs) and quantity takeoffs across large project areas, working closely with the civil design team.
  • Work closely with structural engineers to interpret design intent and translate markups into accurate, complete drawings and models.
  • Coordinate with other disciplines such as civil, electrical, and geotechnical to ensure design integration and constructability.
  • Adhere to applicable Client, EPC, Owner, and Utility standards across all drawings and deliverables.
  • Coach and mentor junior designers, and help develop and maintain CAD standards, templates, and design automation.


WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
