About the Role
We are designing the grid of the future! The Civil / Structural Designer is responsible for developing detailed civil and structural drawings for substations, transmission lines, BESS facilities, and other energy infrastructure projects. This role supports engineering teams by converting conceptual layouts, engineering calculations, markups, vendor information, and technical inputs into accurate, construction-ready drawing packages.
Responsibilities
- Prepare coordinated civil and structural construction drawings for substations, transmission lines, BESS, and other energy infrastructure projects.
- Develop Civil 3D surfaces, grading plans, profiles, drainage systems, access roads, and cut/fill calculations.
- Prepare detailed structural drawings for concrete foundations and steel components, including reinforcement, anchor bolts, base plates, equipment supports, and connections.
- Develop foundation layouts for electrical equipment, transformers, control buildings, BESS units, transmission poles, and containment structures.
- Prepare stormwater drainage and erosion-control plans, including ditches, culverts, detention facilities, and discharge points.
- Interpret and incorporate engineering markups, calculations, surveys, geotechnical reports, vendor drawings, specifications, and project standards.
- Coordinate civil and structural designs with electrical, geotechnical, and other project disciplines to identify and resolve conflicts.
- Review shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and vendor submittals for consistency with the design documents.
- Support permitting submissions and the preparation of 30%, 60%, 90%, IFC, and as-built drawing packages.
- Maintain drawing quality, CAD standards, organized project files, and accurate revision tracking.
Requirements
- Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering Technology, Structural Engineering Technology, or a related field.
- Two to five years of relevant civil and structural design/drafting experience, preferably within substation and distribution projects.
- Strong proficiency in Civil 3D and AutoCAD including: Surface modeling and grading, Alignments, profiles, and corridors, Pipe networks and drainage design, Earthwork and cut/fill calculations, Survey-point and topographic-data management.
- Experience in site grading, drainage, stormwater management, erosion control, and access-road design.
- Ability to develop civil drawings using survey and topographic data, including point files, LiDAR, and USGS datasets.
- Experience preparing detailed structural drawings for buildings, transmission poles, substation gantries, equipment-support structures, and reinforced-concrete foundations, including footings, mats, drilled shafts, pile caps, slabs, and containment structures.
- Ability to prepare structural plans, sections, reinforcement and anchorage details, base plates, splices, and bolted or welded steel connections in accordance with concrete and steel detailing practices.
- Ability to prepare permit and construction drawing packages in accordance with drafting and quality-control standards.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to coordinate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
