Position Overview
We are seeking a CAD Designer to support the development and delivery of behind-the-meter (BTM) power generation, battery energy storage, and associated data center infrastructure. This role will produce and maintain accurate, coordinated, construction-ready drawings and models across multiple engineering disciplines and project phases.
The CAD Designer will work closely with electrical, mechanical/gas, civil, structural, controls, fire protection, EPC, and Owner’s Engineer teams to convert engineering direction, vendor information, field inputs, and design changes into clear, controlled project deliverables.
Job Responsibilities
- Produce and maintain CAD drawings and models for BTM power-generation and BESS projects across multiple sites.
- Support drawing development from concept and basis of design through design development, construction documents, commissioning, and as-built turnover.
- Coordinate drawing content across electrical, civil, structural, mechanical/gas, fuel, piping, controls, fire protection, and site disciplines.
- Translate engineering markups, equipment data, vendor drawings, field conditions, and redlines into accurate design deliverables.
- Maintain drawing accuracy, consistency, revision history, title blocks, sheet standards, symbols, layers, and plotting standards.
- Develop and update equipment arrangements, site layouts, general arrangements, electrical layouts, cable and conduit routing, P&IDs, one-line diagrams, wiring and control diagrams, details, sections, and schedules as assigned.
- Support layouts for generation equipment, paralleling switchgear, medium-voltage equipment, transformers, BESS equipment, fuel systems, piping, buildings, equipment pads, cable trays, duct banks, and underground utilities.
- Coordinate CAD and model interfaces with the data center campus and BTM plant, including terminal points, collection systems, access, utilities, and equipment clearances.
- Participate in design reviews and interdisciplinary coordination meetings; identify clashes, missing information, constructability issues, and drawing inconsistencies.
- Incorporate EPC, Owner’s Engineer, vendor, construction, commissioning, and operations comments into controlled revisions.
- Prepare drawing packages, bills of material, quantity takeoffs, drawing indexes, and other documentation needed for procurement, permitting, construction, and turnover.
- Maintain organized project files and drawing records in the applicable common data environment, such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, or equivalent.
- Help establish reusable CAD standards, templates, symbol libraries, blocks, details, and repeatable drawing practices for Energy projects.
- Support quality checks, document-control requirements, and timely release of deliverables in accordance with project schedules.
- Travel periodically to project sites, vendor facilities, or construction locations as needed to verify conditions and support field execution.
