AECOM is hiring a Senior CAD Engineer - Transmission & Distribution

About the Role

Role Overview

Join a team responsible for delivering high-integrity technical drawings for overhead transmission line systems up to 400kV. As a Senior CAD Engineer, you will play a central role in transforming engineering inputs into precise, standards-compliant CAD documentation throughout the full project lifecycle—from feasibility and design through to construction and commissioning.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create detailed 2D and 3D drawings for overhead line structures, alignment routes, and associated components.
  • Develop wire clearance diagrams incorporating ground profiles, statutory clearances, crossing analyses, and conductor movement envelopes.
  • Produce insulator string drawings with full hardware configurations, phase spacing, and structural interface details for systems between 132kV and 400kV.
  • Support design teams in generating PLS-CADD Plan & Profile outputs and related schematics.
  • Generate construction-level drawings, General Arrangements, fabrication details, and final as-built records.
  • Incorporate survey data, LiDAR scans, GIS inputs, and PLS-CADD results into accurate and consistent CAD deliverables.
  • Build and manage standardized drawing libraries, templates, and symbols specific to overhead line engineering.
  • Ensure strict compliance with NG/ET/SR_135 and NG/ET/SR_188 standards, including proper documentation control via ECM/IDMS systems.
  • Assemble drawing packages and maintain key documentation registers such as the Site Drawing Index, Contract Drawing List, and Development Document Register.
  • Review existing site drawings for reuse potential and verify master records for accuracy and consistency prior to project initiation.
  • Support delivery-phase activities by ensuring all new or revised drawings meet regulatory and design requirements, participating in drawing reviews and commissioning coordination.
  • Provide technical input for milestone projects by interpreting engineering calculations, validating drawing accuracy, and supporting route optimization, clash detection, access planning, and constructability assessments.

Tools & Technologies

Work with industry-standard platforms including CAD software, PLS-CADD, LiDAR and point cloud data, GIS systems, and document management tools such as ECM and IDMS.

Work Environment

This position follows a hybrid working model, offering flexibility to balance office and remote work according to individual needs and project demands.

Professional Growth

  • Access structured career development pathways and technical training resources.
  • Engage with internal technical networks and learning platforms.
  • Participate in volunteering initiatives and dedicated learning programs.
