CAD Drafting Support: Assist engineering teams by drafting and modifying detailed 2D layouts, site plans, and utility networks based on sketches, field data, and design specifications.
Spatial Analysis: Perform basic spatial analysis queries, buffer operations, and data overlays to assist in constraint mapping and site suitability evaluations.
Collaboration & Support: Work closely with GIS Analysts, CAD Managers, and Design Engineers to troubleshoot technical data issues and optimize data-sharing workflows.
What Required Skills You'll Bring
Education: Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in GIS, Geomatics, Civil Engineering, Geography, or a closely related technical field.
Experience:
Minimum of 5 years of professional experience actively working with both GIS and CAD platforms.

Technical Expertise:
Proficient in ESRI software suites, particularly ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
Proficient in Autodesk software, specifically AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
Strong understanding of coordinate systems, map projections, datums, and spatial data structures.
Experience with data automation tools like FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) or Python scripting is a major plus.
