Electrical CAD Technician / Designer

Position Summary

We are seeking an Electrical CAD Technician / Designer to support the development of construction drawings from Revit-based models for building and project coordination. This role is primarily focused on 2D drawing production, including annotating, dimensioning, sheet setup, and construction document coordination using views generated from Revit models.

This is a strong fit for someone with solid electrical drafting and documentation skills who may not have extensive 3D modeling experience. The primary responsibility is to help convert model content into clear, accurate, well-organized drawing sheets suitable for internal review, coordination, and construction use.

Key Responsibilities

Prepare and update 2D electrical drawings from Revit-generated views for construction documentation and coordination.

Add annotations, dimensions, notes, callouts, detail references, legends, schedules, and sheet organization to support drawing completeness and readability.

Assist with the production of floor plans, power plans, lighting plans, low-voltage plans, one-lines, risers, details, and enlarged views.

Organize drawing sheets, view layouts, title blocks, and plotting sets in accordance with company and client standards.

Review drawing sets for clarity, consistency, completeness, and coordination with architectural, structural, mechanical, and other engineering disciplines.

Incorporate markups from engineers and project managers accurately and on schedule.

Support quality control efforts by checking dimensions, notes, sheet references, naming conventions, and document standards.

Help maintain CAD/Revit standards, templates, symbols, and drafting best practices.

Coordinate with engineers and designers to resolve drafting and documentation issues.

Assist with project deliverables at multiple project milestones.

Prepare PDFs, plotting packages, and issued drawing sets for internal and external distribution.

Track revisions and maintain organized project files.

What This Role Is Not

This position is not primarily a 3D modeling role. While familiarity with Revit is important, the main focus is on:

producing clean, coordinated drawing sheets,

annotating and dimensioning model-based views,

and supporting construction documentation workflows.

Required Qualifications

Associate degree, technical certificate, or equivalent experience in CAD drafting, design technology, electrical drafting, or a related field.

2+ years of experience in electrical drafting/design support for AEC projects preferred.

Working knowledge of Revit and/or AutoCAD in a building design environment.

Experience producing electrical construction documents or coordinated drawing sets.

Understanding of common electrical drawing content, such as lighting, power, panel schedules, symbols, and basic one-line concepts.

Strong attention to detail, organization, and document quality.

Ability to follow redlines, standards, and project instructions accurately.

Ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities in a team environment.

Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience supporting building systems projects in commercial, institutional, industrial, multifamily, healthcare, or education markets.

Familiarity with sheet setup, view referencing, annotations, schedules, and documentation workflows in Revit.

Exposure to interdisciplinary coordination in an architecture/engineering environment.

Knowledge of company or client CAD/BIM standards.

Experience with Bluebeam or similar markup/review tools.

Technical Skills

Revit

AutoCAD

Microsoft Office

Bluebeam Revu or similar PDF/markup software

Basic understanding of BIM/document coordination workflows

Success in This Role Looks Like

Drawing sets are accurate, readable, and well-coordinated.

Engineer markups are incorporated efficiently and correctly.

Sheets are organized and issued on time.

Documentation quality improves project coordination and reduces rework.

Team members can rely on this role to keep production moving smoothly from model to deliverable.

Work Environment

Primarily office or hybrid work environment.

May involve extended computer use and periodic overtime to support project deadlines.

Occasional attendance at coordination meetings may be required.
