Civil Designer Consultant

• Utilize Civil 3D for various modeling tasks including preparing drawings and figures.

• Incorporate land or aerial surveying/mapping data and files into design work.
• Collaborate within consulting workflows, meeting deadlines, and coordinating with engineers.
• Contribute independently to projects with minimal ramp-up time.

Essential Skills

• 3–8 years of Civil 3D experience in a consulting environment.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D (release 2020 or newer).
• Experience with Microsoft Suite Applications.
• Clear driving record and possession of a US Driver's License.
• Ability to contribute independently with minimal ramp-up.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D certification or ability to become certified within one year of hire date.
• Experience with Autodesk Plant 3D, ArcGIS, and MicroStation.
• Environmental and landfill experience is a plus but not mandatory.
• Degree preferred but not required; equivalent experience is acceptable.
