Civil/Structural CADD Technician
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's parse the job description.
First paragraph: "Michael Baker Rail & Transit Practice: Whether moving people or freight, future rail and transit solutions will be determined by energy prices, a shift toward urban living and growing environmental concerns. Michael Baker helps freight, authority and state Department of Transportation clients meet these modern challenges by providing services that address key industry issues such as state of good repair, capacity, safety, community livability, asset management and maintenance, planning and development for new projects, and the promotion of environmental stewardship and sustainability. We provide value by first understanding our clients’ needs, then working with them as a partner to identify innovative and cost-effective solutions that optimize their opportunities for success."
That's about the role/company. Could go under "About the role" or maybe "About Us". But we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can put company overview under "About the role". Or we could have separate "About Us" but not in list; we must only use those headings. So we can put that content under About the role.
Next: "What We're Looking For Michael Baker International is seeking a highly motivated Civil/Structural CADD Technician to support our growing Rail & Transit group. This position will work out of any of our mid-west offices including Cleveland, Omaha, Des Moines or Chicago on a hybrid basis. The ideal candidate will work with the rail group design engineers to produce plans for structure and track disciplines in railway engineering projects. You will leverage your knowledge and skills to prepare preliminary and final drawings, layouts, maps, charts, and designs within MicroStation, OpenRoads Designer and Autodesk CADD platforms that meet our company, project and client CAD standards."
That's also about role and responsibilities.
Then "What You'll Do" bullet list (though not bullet but sentences). We'll convert to list.
List items:
- Independently produce engineering drawings for preliminary and final plan sets in accordance with established design standards, client standards and project requirements.
- Modify and update existing drawings as new information becomes available.
- Apply standard drafting/design principles and theories to complete assignments.
- Use technical manuals to ensure compliance with company policies, client policies and applicable standards for each project.
- Verify the accuracy, compatibility, and coordination of plans and details.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to coordinate design elements, resolve conflicts & ensure accurate designs plans.
- Review and analyze drawings for errors, inconsistencies, and compliance with project requirements.
- Stay Updated with Technology: Keep up-to-date with the latest CAD technology trends and advancements.
That's responsibilities.
Then "What You Need To Succeed" list:
- High School, GED, certification course or two-year technical degree.
- 2+ years of CADD design.
- Experience within Transportation Engineering, inclusive of structural detailing.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD, OpenRoads Designer and MicroStation software required, Civil 3D a plus.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365.
- CADD experience on transportation and bridge projects a plus.
- Use Microsoft Teams collaboration software
- Effective verbal and written communication skills
- Experience with Bluebeam
- Ability to work independently in a hybrid office/remote work environment
These are qualifications/requirements/skills. We need to decide where to put them. The spec says we have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to differentiate? Usually Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = education/experience, Skills = technical/soft. We can split.
We have education: High School, GED, certification course or two-year technical degree. That's qualification.
Experience: 2+ years of CADD design. Experience within Transportation Engineering, inclusive of structural detailing. CADD experience on transportation and bridge projects a plus. That's experience/qualification.
Proficiency with AutoCAD, OpenRoads Designer and MicroStation software required, Civil 3D a plus. Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365. Use Microsoft Teams collaboration software. Experience with Bluebeam. Those are skills.
Effective verbal and written communication skills. Ability to work independently in a hybrid office/remote work environment. Those are soft skills.
We can allocate:
- Requirements: maybe the mandatory items: 2+ years CADD design, proficiency with AutoCAD, OpenRoads Designer, MicroStation, Microsoft Office 365, ability to work independently hybrid, effective communication. But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for all three sections.
We'll create:
About the role
with paragraph(s) summarizing company and role.
Responsibilities
with - list.
Requirements
with - list of mandatory requirements (maybe education + experience + mandatory software proficiency). We'll decide.
Qualifications
with - list of preferred qualifications (Civil 3D plus, transportation/bridge experience, etc.)
Skills
with - list of technical and soft skills (Microsoft Teams, Bluebeam, communication, etc.)
But we might be duplicating. Better to follow typical pattern: Requirements = mandatory; Qualifications = education/experience; Skills = technical/soft. However we have overlapping.
Let's extract:
Mandatory (from "What You Need To Succeed"): High School, GED, certification course or two-year technical degree. 2+ years of CADD design. Experience within Transportation Engineering, inclusive of structural detailing. Proficiency with AutoCAD, OpenRoads Designer and MicroStation software required. Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365. Use Microsoft Teams collaboration software. Effective verbal and written communication skills. Ability to work independently in a hybrid office/remote work environment.
Preferred/pluses: Civil 3D a plus. CADD experience on transportation and bridge projects a plus. Experience with Bluebeam a plus? Actually Bluebeam is listed without plus but could be skill.
We'll treat Bluebeam as skill.
Thus:
Requirements: list of mandatory items.
Qualifications: education (High School, GED, certification course or two-year technical degree) and experience (2+ years CADD design, Transportation Engineering experience, structural detailing). Could also include that.
Skills: proficiency with listed software (AutoCAD, OpenRoads Designer, MicroStation, Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Teams, Bluebeam), Civil 3D (plus), communication, ability to work independently hybrid.
But we have overlapping. Might be okay as long as we preserve all info.
We also have Pay section: "Compensation The approximate compensation range for this position is $56,893 to $65,000 a year. This compensation range is a good faith estimate for the position at the time of posting. Actual compensation is dependent upon factors such as education, qualifications, experience, skillset, and physical work location."
That's specific pay info, so we include Pay section.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides hybrid basis. The posting says "This position will work out of any of our mid-west offices including Cleveland, Omaha, Des Moines or Chicago on a hybrid basis." That indicates schedule/hybrid work arrangement. Could be considered Schedule. We'll include Schedule section with that info.
Benefits: Not mentioned. No benefits details. So we omit Benefits section.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove those paragraphs.
Now produce HTML fragment.

About the role paragraph: combine first paragraph and "What We're Looking For" maybe.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we should include details about Michael Baker Rail & Transit Practice, services, etc. Also mention the position location and hybrid basis.
Let's write:
Michael Baker’s Rail & Transit practice focuses on moving people and freight, addressing challenges driven by energy prices, urban living shifts, and environmental concerns. The firm helps freight, authority, and state DOT clients with services covering state of good repair, capacity, safety, community livability, asset management and maintenance, planning and development for new projects, and promotion of environmental stewardship and sustainability. Michael Baker International is seeking a highly motivated Civil/Structural CADD Technician to support its growing Rail & Transit group. The role is based in any of the firm’s Midwest offices (Cleveland, Omaha, Des Moines, or Chicago) on a hybrid basis, working with rail‑group design engineers to produce plans for structure and track disciplines in railway engineering projects using MicroStation, OpenRoads Designer, and Autodesk CADD platforms to meet company, project, and client CAD standards.
That seems good.
Now Responsibilities list: we need to include all items from "What You'll Do". Ensure we keep the exact phrasing.
List:
- Independently produce engineering drawings for preliminary and final plan sets in accordance with established design standards, client standards and project requirements.
- Modify and update existing drawings as new information becomes available.
- Apply standard drafting/design principles and theories to complete assignments.
- Use technical manuals to ensure compliance with company policies, client policies and applicable standards for each project.
- Verify the accuracy, compatibility, and coordination of plans and details.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to coordinate design elements, resolve conflicts & ensure accurate designs plans.
- Review and analyze drawings for errors, inconsistencies, and compliance with project requirements.
- Stay Updated with Technology: Keep up-to-date with the latest CAD technology trends and advancements.
We'll keep as is.
Now Requirements list: mandatory items.
We need to decide which are mandatory. Based on text: "High School, GED, certification course or two-year technical degree." That's education requirement. "2+ years of CADD design." "Experience within Transportation Engineering, inclusive of structural detailing." "Proficiency with AutoCAD, OpenRoads Designer and MicroStation software required." "Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365." "Use Microsoft Teams collaboration software." "Effective verbal and written communication skills." "Ability to work independently in a hybrid office/remote work environment."
We'll include all those as requirements.
Now Qualifications list: preferred qualifications/pluses: "Civil 3D a plus." "CADD experience on transportation and bridge projects a plus." Possibly also "Experience with Bluebeam" but we treat as skill. We'll keep qualifications as those plus maybe also "Experience with Bluebeam" but we can put under Skills.
Thus Qualifications:
- Civil 3D proficiency (a plus)
- CADD experience on transportation and bridge projects (a plus)
We could also include "Experience with Bluebeam" as qualification but we will put under Skills.
Now Skills list: technical and soft skills not already covered: "Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365" already in Requirements; "Use Microsoft Teams collaboration software" also in Requirements; "Effective verbal and written communication skills" in Requirements; "Ability to work independently in a hybrid office/remote work environment" in Requirements. So maybe Skills list is just Bluebeam and maybe Civil 3D? But we already put Civil 3D under Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could shift some items.
