Civil / Mechanical CAD Designer

KLH Engineers, our team of engineers, surveyors, and drafters, works on projects that ensure safe drinking water gets where it needs to go, wastewater is properly treated, and stormwater stays under control. Since 1982, we’ve partnered with numerous municipal clients across Pennsylvania, delivering top-notch services in water, wastewater, stormwater, and general municipal engineering. We bring creativity, technical excellence, and practicality to every project, ensuring our engineering solutions not only work but also make life a little easier for everyone.

We’re currently looking for a CAD Designer to join our growing team in our Pittsburgh office. If you’re someone who enjoys solving complex problems, collaborating with great people, and making a tangible difference, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do:

• Create 2D and 3D models and construction documents for water & wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, force mains, distribution networks, gravity sewers, lift stations, and other utility structures.
• Work alongside civil, mechanical, and structural engineers to translate design concepts into detailed CAD drawings that meet project specs and local/state standards.
• Perform quality control checks to ensure accuracy and consistency with CAD standards.\
• Assist with revisions based on field notes, markups, or feedback from engineers, field staff, or permitting agencies.
• Conduct occasional site visits to collect data and confirm existing conditions.

Who You Are:

• You hold an Associate degree in Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) or related field, or equivalent experience.
• You have 5 years of experience in CAD design, preferably related to water/wastewater systems or civil infrastructure.
• AutoCAD and Civil 3D are your go-to’s, and if you know other design tools, even better.
• You have a strong attention to detail, and your drawings are clean, accurate, and rock-solid.
• You know the value of following CAD standards and keeping your work consistent and professional.
• You’re a strong communicator who plays well with others.
• Microsoft Office? You’ve got that down working with Word, Excel, and Outlook, with no problems.
• You’re not afraid to throw on a hard hat for a site visit and see your work come to life in the real world.

Why KLH?

• We’ll give you the space to do what you do best—be a Designer.
• We’re big enough to tackle complex, high-impact projects in-house, but small enough that your ideas won’t get lost in the shuffle.
• You’ll work alongside a smart, collaborative, and genuinely supportive team.
• We offer a flexible work schedule.
• We believe in investing in our people through mentorship, continued learning, and opportunities for growth.
