CAD Drafter/Operator

Job Title: CAD Operator- Multiple level

Duration: 12 Months of Contract (Possible Extension)

Location: Raleigh NC USA 27601

Hybrid role

Position Summary:

We are seeking an experienced CAD professional to primarily support Transmission Protection & Control (P&C) engineering drafting using MicroStation, along with document control activities through the company’s internal document management tool.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on MicroStation experience and be able to quickly integrate into an active production environment with minimal ramp-up time.

The team is open to candidates at varying experience levels, with preference given to those who can step in and contribute to production immediately.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, revise, and maintain Transmission P&C engineering drawings using MicroStation.

• Support engineering teams with CAD drafting and drawing updates based on project requirements, markups, and revisions.

• Perform document control activities using the company’s internal document management tool.

• Maintain accurate, organized, and up-to-date engineering drawings and related documentation.

• Review drawings for accuracy, consistency, and completeness.

• Work closely with P&C engineers, CAD Operators, and multiple managers to support ongoing production needs.

• Manage multiple drafting assignments and priorities based on team workload.

Required Qualifications

• Strong hands-on MicroStation experience is required.

• Previous professional CAD/drafting experience.

• Ability to create, revise, and maintain technical engineering drawings in MicroStation.

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.

• Ability to work collaboratively with engineering and design teams.

• Ability to quickly learn team processes and contribute in a production environment with minimal ramp-up time.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience supporting Transmission Protection & Control (P&C) engineering drafting.

• AutoCAD Electrical

• Experience with document control or engineering document management systems.

• Experience incorporating engineering markups and revisions into technical drawings.

• Utility, transmission, electrical engineering, or similar industry experience.

We are really focused on someone who is a drafter vs someone who was a designer/engineer who also did CAD as part of their experience. Obviously if they have electric utility experience, that is a major plus, but CAD expertise is the #1 thing we are looking for.

For additional requirement/preferences:

1. Experience with MicroStation and AutoCad/AutoDesk is preferred.

2. Experience with design of high voltage substations is preferred.

3. Experience or familiarity with a document management system is preferred.

4. Experience reading/deciphering construction field revisions and incorporating them into CAD drawings is preferred.
