Job Description
Do you live and breathe Civil 3D and take pride in producing clean, accurate, bulletproof plan sets? Are you the person who catches what everyone else misses, builds templates that actually work, and quietly raises the quality of everything that leaves the office?
We are seeking a CADD Supervisor with deep experience developing civil engineering flood control, drainage, and land development plan sets in AutoDesk Civil 3D, who is ready to take the next step and build, lead, and manage a high-performing CADD group. This role is for a senior CADD professional who loves production work, is obsessive about detail, and wants ownership of CADD standards, workflows, and QA/QC across a growing practice.
Projects will include ecosystem restoration, stormwater, drainage, and roadway-related civil infrastructure across the U.S., with a focus on the south and mid-Atlantic regions. Work location will be remote, with proximity to Arkansas, Texas, or Louisiana preferred.
