Civil CAD Designer

Why join us?

We are hiring! Are you stuck at a company with no real opportunity or variety as a Civil CAD Designer? AtkinsRéalis is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Civil CAD Designer to join the Melbourne, Florida Civil Engineering Group. Our Civil CAD Designers do it all - grading, site plans, roads, utilities, stormwater. They work on local, state and federal projects that include small, medium and large planning, design-bid-build, and design-build projects. Our Civil CAD Designers work on, and may travel to, projects throughout the US, as well as Europe. They also work with other civil and other technical groups in numerous offices across the US. Come join AtkinsRéalis, where opportunities abound. Our work products are typically designed and produced using AutoCAD Civil 3D, using pipe networks, surfaces and alignments to develop the design in 3D, and we work with other team members (MEP, Architects, Traffic Engineers, Structural Engineers, etc) in the 3D environment to coordinate our design work and resolve clash detections. This sets us apart from the typical Mom & Pop shop still stuck in the 2D world.
