What are the responsibilities and job description for the CAD Designer position at K&W Engineers?
WHY WORK AT K&W? BECAUSE YOU’RE MORE THAN JUST A CAD PERSON.
You know Civil 3D, but you’re not just here to follow markups. You think through problems, help shape designs, and make sure everything fits together. If that sounds like you—welcome home.
WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO GET IT.
Our team is a mix of engineers, landscape architects, and planners who actually enjoy solving the puzzle of site design. We collaborate, problem-solve, and make each other better. Expect creative solutions, a team that has your back, and, yeah—occasional debates about which dog in the office is objectively the best.
HYBRID FLEXIBILITY, BUT YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THE OFFICE.
Sure, you can work from home. But our HQ is a 1920s mansion with riverfront views, and our team’s really fun to be around—so odds are you’ll want to show up.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:
- Translating design concepts into accurate, buildable CAD drawings that make your team go “Whoa, that’s clean.”
- Collaborating with engineers and landscape architects to bring great ideas to life.
- Making Civil 3D work for you—alignments, surfaces, grading, all that good stuff.
- Thinking beyond the redlines (AKA: Refining site layouts, grading, stormwater, and utilities).
- Solving problems on the fly because no project ever sticks to the plan.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:
- 5-10 years of land development drafting experience.
- Expertise in AutoCAD Civil 3D—you know your way around.
- Experience in the land development process from start to finish.
- A team-first mindset. The best ideas come from working together.
THE WORK SETUP:
- Hybrid: In-office at least 2 days a week (Tues-Thurs recommended), with the rest remote.
- Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 9-hour shifts. Fridays? We’re out by NOON!
- Office perks: Professional but fun. A historic mansion, river views, and a snack stash that somehow replenishes itself.
