Responsibilities span drawing production, revision management, document control, and coordination across roadway, transit, and utility disciplines. Work contributes to design development and implementation phases within a large-scale urban corridor.

The ideal candidate brings 3–7+ years of CAD drafting experience in transportation or civil infrastructure projects, with strong expertise in staging drawings, plan production standards, and multidisciplinary coordination.

• Produce detailed staging and traffic management drawing packages for the Hamilton LRT project, converting design markups into clear, accurate, and coordinated plan sheets.
• Prepare staging plans that illustrate lane configurations, traffic detours, staging limits, work zones, pedestrian routing, cyclist accommodations, and temporary traffic control measures.
• Support staging designers, traffic engineers, and project teams by implementing revisions and maintaining up-to-date drawing packages throughout project development.
• Manage drawing updates, revisions, and document control activities to ensure consistency across all corridor segments.
• Coordinate staging drawings with roadway, transit, utility, and other multidisciplinary design teams to identify and resolve conflicts.
• Develop and maintain CAD files, external references, base mapping, alignments, linework, annotation, and sheet layouts in accordance with project standards.
• Ensure all drawings comply with established CAD standards, drafting procedures, project specifications, and quality requirements.
• Perform quality assurance and quality control reviews to verify drawing accuracy, completeness, readability, and consistency.
