CAD Designer (Substation)
for each section. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title. No markdown.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine mission and role description.
Prose: maybe two paragraphs.
We'll include:
At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.
As a CAD Designer, you will perform advanced design and drafting assignments for high-voltage transmission and distribution substation projects. You will apply extensive knowledge of drafting standards, substation design practices, and CAD technologies while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams in a global environment. This role serves as a technical resource for project teams, supporting the development of high-quality design deliverables from concept through construction.
We are seeking an innovative CAD Designer to support and deliver substation projects ranging from distribution voltage levels through extra-high-voltage transmission systems in North America. The successful candidate will work closely with other designers and electrical, structural, civil, and protection & controls engineers to develop and revise single-line diagrams, general arrangement plans, P&C plans, electrical equipment layouts, grounding plans and details, cable trench and conduit layouts, control building layouts, sections and elevations, structural steel and foundation drawings, bill of material and drawing indexes.
That seems good.
Now Responsibilities: bullet list.
We need to extract responsibilities:
- Establish CAD project environments, manage reference files, coordinate data sources, and maintain drawing standards.
- Provide CAD leadership and technical guidance to project teams and junior drafters/designers.
- Be part of teams diverse in culture and discipline, working to meet the clients’ needs as a cohesive unit.
- Be empowered to deliver the boldest solutions for our clients.
- Partner across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates.
- Commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other.
We could combine some.
Let's list as - each.
Now Requirements: bullet list.
Include:
- Associate degree in Drafting, Design Technology, Engineering Technology, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of drafting and design experience supporting electrical utility or substation projects.
- Advanced proficiency with AutoCAD and/or Civil 3D.
- Experience with Plant 3D, Revit or other 3D Modeling Software.
- Experience developing physical substation design drawings for transmission and distribution projects.
- Strong understanding of substation layouts, grounding systems, conduit systems, cable routing, structural plans, and equipment arrangements.
- Experience using ProjectWise and Autodesk Forma for document management and collaboration.
- Ability to interpret engineering calculations, specifications, vendor drawings, and design criteria.
- Proficiency with Bluebeam, Microsoft Office Suite, and Microsoft Teams.
- Strong organizational, communication, and coordination skills.
- Ability to work independently while managing multiple projects and deadlines.
Ideal/experience (preferred):
- Experience with Bentley MicroStation, OpenBuildings, or Substation Design software platforms.
- Experience supporting substation projects from 12 kV through 500 kV.
- Familiarity with utility and client-specific design standards.
- Knowledge of IEEE, NESC, and utility design practices.
- Understanding of design workflows from conceptual engineering through construction support.
- Autodesk Certified Professional or Bentley certification.
- Experience working with geographically distributed project teams.
We could include these as part of Requirements but maybe separate as "Preferred Qualifications". However we want few sections; we could include them in Requirements but note they are preferred. Could still be bullet list.
Now Benefits: bullet list.
- Medical, dental, vision and basic life insurance
- 401(k) plan
- Paid time off (allocated plans start date 17 days per calendar year)
- Seven paid holidays
- Caregiver leave
- Ability to purchase company stock at a discount
- Legally mandated benefits
Now Pay: paragraph.
- The base salary range for this position is $75,900.00 to $99,675.00; though will be paid hourly based on hours worked. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
Now Schedule: paragraph.
- We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with
