Remote Designer CAD

Job Overview Job Title Senior CAD Designer (Remote) Company Jobgether (Partner Company) Location Maryland, United States Job Type Full-time Category Engineering / Design Operations Date Posted April 16, 2026 Experience Level 10+ Years Remote Status Fully Remote (within the United States) Role Summary • This role is focused on the creation and refinement of critical engineering design deliverables, emphasizing precision and adherence to industry standards. • The Senior CAD Designer will be instrumental in supporting project teams by producing high-quality 2D drawing packages and supporting 3D modeling efforts. • A key aspect is the cross-functional collaboration with various engineering disciplines to ensure integrated and accurate project execution. • The position requires a strong command of CAD software and a deep understanding of design principles, particularly within power projects. Enhancement Note While the role is "Designer CAD," the extensive experience requirement (10+ years) and the mention of engineering collaboration suggest a senior level with significant responsibility in design operations and project support, rather than a purely artistic or conceptual design role. The focus on "power projects" indicates a specialized industry segment. Primary Responsibilities • Prepare and finalize detailed design deliverables, including physical layouts, civil grading plans, and structural details, utilizing advanced CAD techniques. • Draft and revise intricate designs and supporting documentation using essential software such as AutoCAD, MicroStation, and Civil 3D. • Integrate and coordinate information from various engineering disciplines and vendor drawings into a cohesive and accurate design package. • Proactively identify and resolve design conflicts and issues to facilitate seamless cross-discipline coordination and prevent downstream problems. • Conduct rigorous self-checks and quality assurance on all design work to ensure completeness, accuracy, constructability, and adherence to project specifications. • Support field activities by gathering essential data, conducting site assessments, and updating designs to reflect as-built conditions or real-world constraints. • Collaborate closely and effectively with engineers from diverse disciplines (e.g., electrical, mechanical, civil) to ensure project timelines are met and design intent is maintained. • Contribute to the development and maintenance of design standards and best practices within the CAD team. Enhancement Note The responsibilities highlight a blend of technical execution and problem-solving. The emphasis on "self-checks," "resolving design issues," and "supporting field activities" implies a proactive approach to design operations and a need for practical, hands-on problem-solving skills beyond just drafting. Skills & Qualifications Education Associate’s degree in Computer Aided Design Technology or equivalent practical experience. Experience Over ten years of detailed CAD design experience, with a strong emphasis on power projects. Required Skills • CAD Software Proficiency Expert-level command of Autodesk AutoCAD, including advanced drafting and annotation features. • 3D Modeling & Design Demonstrated expertise in 3D plant layout modeling tools and applications. • Civil Design Software Proven experience with Autodesk Civil 3D for grading, site design, and infrastructure planning. • BIM/Design Coordination Software Proficiency in Bentley MicroStation and Autodesk Navisworks for model coordination and clash detection. • Technical Drafting & Detailing Strong ability to prepare accurate physical layouts, civil grading plans, and structural details. • Cross-Discipline Collaboration Excellent skills in interfacing and communicating effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams. • Problem-Solving Ability to identify and resolve complex design issues related to constructability and integration. • Quality Assurance Meticulous attention to detail for self-checking designs and ensuring adherence to standards. Preferred Skills • Experience with other relevant engineering design software packages. • Familiarity with industry codes and standards specific to power generation or transmission projects. • Basic understanding of project management principles as they relate to design deliverables. • Experience in supporting field construction activities and incorporating feedback. Enhancement Note The "10+ years" experience requirement signifies a senior-level role demanding a deep understanding of CAD software and the design lifecycle, particularly within the specialized domain of power projects. The explicit mention of multiple CAD platforms (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, Navisworks) indicates a need for versatile technical expertise. Process & Systems Portfolio Requirements Portfolio Essentials • Showcase a minimum of three distinct projects from the power industry, demonstrating complexity and scale. • For each project, include examples of deta
