Civil Designer

Synectics

Civil Designer / Cad Technician

A great opportunity for a Civil Designer / CAD Technician to turn precise designs into real-world infrastructure projects. Join a collaborative team, work on diverse civil projects, and grow your expertise with AutoCAD Civil 3D, grading, drainage, and utility design.

We know that the difference between a good project and a great one lies in the details-the grading, the drainage, and the precise placement of every utility. If you are a CAD professional who wants to take your designs off the screen and into the real world, you belong here.

We are a growing, multi-disciplinary engineering and land surveying firm. We don't just draft lines; we shape the infrastructure of tomorrow. We hold professional engineering licenses in 27 states, which means our team gets the project variety and scale of a massive national firm, while maintaining the close-knit, collaborative culture of a small business where your voice actually matters.

You won't be parked on busywork here. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with experienced, licensed engineers and surveyors on live projects-from national retailers to critical public works.

Why Choose Us?

  • Real Project Variety: Because we work across diverse industries and 27 states, you won't get stuck doing the exact same site layout every day. You will tackle a broad spectrum of challenges that will sharpen your skills.

  • Direct Collaboration: You'll work directly with our project engineers and surveyors, seeing how your designs integrate with structural engineering, public works, and even our in-house drone-based mapping services.

  • A Clear Path Forward: We invest in our people. Whether you want to master new technologies or take on more complex design responsibilities, the path to grow your career is wide open.

  • Solid Stability: We are a certified active small business, rapidly growing our footprint and looking for people who want to build a long-term home with us.

What You'll Do:

  • Design & Draft: Develop detailed, innovative civil site designs, including complex grading and drainage plans.

  • Model the Future: Utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D and other advanced design software to draft and model project layouts with precision.

  • Collaborate: Work seamlessly with our project engineers, surveyors, and external partners to ensure smooth execution from concept through construction.

  • Ensure Accuracy: Prepare and meticulously review construction documents to ensure accuracy, compliance with regulations, and alignment with our high quality standards.

  • Tailor Solutions: Adapt and tailor designs to meet the unique and complex requirements of our diverse clientele.

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience: Proven experience in civil site design and drafting.

  • Technical Chops: Strong proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D and standard CAD software.

  • Subject Matter Knowledge: A solid, practical understanding of land development principles, grading, drainage, and utility design.

  • Attention to Detail: A keen eye for accuracy and a drive to deliver projects with the highest quality and efficiency.

  • Team Player: Someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and communicates clearly (both written and verbal).

Compensation & Benefits:

  • We believe in recognizing your expertise.

  • Comprehensive Healthcare: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance.

  • Future Security: Retirement Savings plan and Life Insurance.

  • Professional Growth: Opportunities for professional development in a dynamic, supportive environment with access to cutting-edge tech.
