Garver Engineering
CAD Production & Design Leader
As a member of Garver's growing Harlingen Water Infrastructure Design Center, the
CAD Production & Design Leader
will be responsible for leading drafting and design for projects while mentoring designers and technicians. The leader will also oversee the production of 3D models and maintain Civil3D/BIM/MicroStation standards for the Water Infrastructure Design Center. They will collaborate with multiple teams of engineers, other production & design leaders, designers, and technicians to produce drawings on various Water Business Line projects.
This role is central to project delivery through our many offices and utilizes the latest design software/technologies, predominantly Revit, Civil3D, and MicroStation software. Typical projects include civil, process mechanical, structural, building mechanical, and architectural designs for water and wastewater facilities.
Primary Responsibilities
Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned projects
Lead coordination between project team disciplines (civil, process, structural, mechanical, and electrical)
Drawing Sheet List (Excel and design software)
Production of compiled PDFs for project milestones from all disciplines
Design changes where necessary
Clash detection and resolution between disciplines
Exporting of design files
Civil site plan linking
Facilitate P&ID design with all process modeling
Lead the development of 3D models/alignments
Organization of facilities in different models as the project requires
Coordination of models with sub‑consultants as needed
Maintaining the shared coordinate system
Owner of secured workset(s) for levels, grids, and scope boxes
Lead the organization of alignments, plans, sections, and details for construction documents
Attend project meetings as required
Scope & Fee Development
Budget & Schedule Tracking
Work closely with Design Phase Managers to maintain scope, budget, and schedule to execute projects
Maintain strong communication with engineers and project managers to ensure timely delivery and avoid conflicts. Acknowledge and coordinate design issues with disciplines
Arrange necessary resources for file sharing and communication across the company or with clients, sub‑consultants, and contractors
Coordinate resources for assigned projects
Develop markups working with the engineers
Distribute and coordinate workload with fellow designers and technicians
Review work of designers and technicians and serve as their mentor
Provide thorough review of every plan sheet to ensure all projects adhere to company standards prior to engineers’ review
Mentor, equip, train, develop, and engage junior team members to become effective design professionals and undertake increasingly complex assignments and responsibilities as they grow
Due to the collaborative nature of coordination for large infrastructure projects, candidates must seek out and resolve issues through close interaction with other project team members. They must also maintain a positive team attitude and interpersonal effectiveness to recruit, develop, and maintain an efficient and productive team.
About Garver's Water Infrastructure Design Center The Water Infrastructure Design Center is a knowledge‑based hub that excels in highly technical, multi‑discipline water and wastewater designs for locations all across Garver's footprint. The WIDC was created to bring together every unique discipline necessary to design custom solutions for water and wastewater infrastructure facilities, including civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, controls, construction, applications, and operations. Having a focused team with in‑person collaboration using the latest 3D and 4D BIM/Civil3D/MicroStation software leads to more efficient delivery, shorter design schedules, and lower change‑order percentages.
Requirements
10 or more years of computer‑aided drafting and design experience with an architectural and/or engineering design team
Extensive experience in the use of Civil3D, Revit or MicroStation software
Experience using MSOffice products, including Excel, Outlook, and Word
General understanding of various building types
Experience with architectural, industrial and commercial designs
Experience with multi‑discipline CAD designs (piping, structural, electrical, I&C, controls, mechanical, HVAC, process)
Strong knowledge base of site development including grading, paving, drainage, and piping
Good communication and training skills (verbal and written)
Associate’s degree in CAD or similar 2‑year degree
Preferred Skills
Understanding of water or wastewater treatment specific equipment
Experience using Bluebeam software
Experience using ArcMap
Experience using StormCAD, HEC‑RAC, and HEC‑HMS
Experience with file sharing protocols and other methods of file transfer
Associate’s degree or higher focusing on CAD/BIM
Experience with point clouds and point cloud processing with ReCap
Experience with BIM360/ACC file sharing software
Bachelor’s degree in civil, environmental, or biosystems/agricultural or related engineering discipline
