> Produce and maintain civil drawing sets for large-scale data center site development using Civil 3D, from redlines to issued-for-construction. Coordinate with other disciplines, maintain CAD standards, and deliver rapid revisions to meet tight permitting and construction deadlines.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Produce civil drawing sets for data center site development: grading, drainage, erosion control, utilities, and site plans, from engineer redlines to issued-for-construction.
- Turn drawing revisions around inside a day during permitting and construction, when a submittal date or an open RFI is waiting on the sheet.
- Build and maintain the civil CAD standards (templates, layers, detail library) so every site's drawing set is consistent and the next project starts ahead.
- Coordinate civil sheets against structural and architectural models to catch clashes on paper before they cost time in the field.
- Prepare permit exhibits, plats, and agency-requested revisions that keep submittals moving without pulling engineers off design work.

## Requirements
- Drafted civil construction documents in Civil 3D or AutoCAD that were issued for construction and built from.
- Built surfaces, grading, corridors, and pipe networks in Civil 3D yourself, from survey data to finished sheets.
- Turned engineer redlines into finished sheets on same-day deadlines and kept the set consistent while doing it.
- Keep drawing sets internally airtight: callouts resolve, matchlines align, and every referenced detail exists.
- Worked deadlines where a missed submittal slips a permit, and the sheet was ready.
- Set up or maintained CAD standards that other drafters followed.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Data center, industrial, or utility-scale solar site work.
- Revit or Navisworks coordination.
- Survey data processing.
- Permit exhibit and plat preparation.
- Erosion control and SWPPP drawing experience.
