CAD Specialist

Fervo Energy Cad/Plm AdministratorFervo Energy (NASDAQ: FRVO) is a modern power company developing next-generation geothermal resources to meet the growing demand for affordable, reliable, 24/7 carbon-free energy. Our mission is to transform geothermal into America's most dependable and affordable source of clean, around-the-clock power. By combining innovations in horizontal drilling, fiber-optic sensing, and advanced reservoir engineering, Fervo has developed a repeatable approach to building utility-scale enhanced geothermal systems. Our flagship Cape Station development in Utah is planned to deliver 500 MW of firm, carbon-free power, and we are advancing a development pipeline of more than 50 GW. Join us and work alongside world-class engineers, geoscientists, operators, project builders, and business leaders working to make geothermal a cornerstone of a more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future.Position DescriptionThe CAD/PLM Administrator is an individual contributor role with high potential for shaping future organizational structure. This role is responsible for CAD/PLM implementation and upkeep, CAD and drawing standards and workflows, and system architecture for connection with ERP and other enterprise software.The role will support the hiring of designers and drafters for the engineering organization, manage vendor relationships for PLM and CAD software upkeep, handle transmittal and document control alongside the document control team, and model plant systems where we have resource gaps. CAD, PLM, document control, and transmittal are a single ecosystem, and the ideal candidate approaches them that way.ResponsibilitiesCAD Standards: Build Fervo's CAD standards, including drafting conventions, title blocks, drawing templates, and file management protocols across all engineering modules. Drive 3D model-based approaches where they create leverage, such as clash detection, constructability reviews, and as-built capture.PLM Administration: Govern Fervo's Siemens Teamcenter PLM environment, including part numbering, BOM structures, revision workflows, and ECR/ECO/ECN processes. Define integrations between PLM and enterprise systems (ERP, procurement, asset management) so design data flows cleanly across the digital thread without manual re-keying.Document Control and Transmittal: Ensure the EDMS and transmittal workflow is integrated with CAD/PLM end-to-end, including outgoing submittals, vendor drawing review, RFI tracking, and redline incorporation into the as-built record. Define and/or enforce document numbering, revision conventions, and distribution matrices, and review and approve all deliverables before IFC issue or external distribution.Standardization: Drive standardization across all engineering modules so that every plant benefits from the drawing and data work done on the last one. Find the best process to close the feedback loop between design and field execution, applying redline patterns and constructability issues forward to future plant designs.CAD and Plant Design: Use Fervo's CAD tools (Siemens NX, Autodesk, and Revit) or similar with a deep understanding of the CAD process to ensure good data governance and design practices.PLM/PDM and EDMS: Hold workflow design and PLM administration in Siemens Teamcenter, or a similar system, to the highest standard. Evaluate whether a standalone EDMS or PLM-native document control is the right fit at Fervo's scale, and make that call with a clear rationale.Enterprise Integration: Understand how BOMs, part masters, and procurement data connect between PLM and ERP (SAP, Oracle, or similar), and where integration breaks without governance.QualificationsRequired7+ years in CAD, engineering data management, or design delivery in industrial, energy, aerospace, or advanced manufacturingDemonstrated experience building CAD standards, drawing templates, and document governance systems from scratchExpert in at least one major CAD platform (AutoCAD, Plant 3D, NX, CATIA, or equivalent), and fluent across multiple drawing types: P&IDs, general arrangements, civil/structural, electrical, and mechanicalDirect PLM or PDM experience: data model configuration, revision workflows, BOM management, or enterprise integrationFull drawing lifecycle ownership from early design through IFC, construction, and as-builtPreferredSiemens NX and/or Teamcenter experienceBackground in aerospace, automotive OEM, or semiconductor, where PLM is foundational to the engineering processEDMS experience in capital project environments and familiarity with PLM-ERP integration (SAP or Oracle)Background building something that had to scale, where the standard you set mattered far beyond the project in front of youLocationFervo Energy is headquartered in Houston, TX with growing offices in Golden, Oakland, Reno, and Salt Lake City.
