Senior CAD Geostructural Designer

Overview Senior CAD Geostructural Designer role at WSP in Canada. The opportunity is with the Earth & Environment Digital Design Team in Ontario or Atlantic region. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in geostructural design and extensive experience with 2D/3D design CAD software. This role involves supporting the geostructural engineering group, working with multi-discipline project teams, managing project tasks and junior to intermediate staff, and providing technical and engineering design support on diverse construction projects locally and around the world. The Role Geostructural design and drafting combines knowledge of structural drafting with an emphasis on adapting structural and other engineering discipline details to the design of below-grade structures known as geostructures. You will be responsible for the creation, modification, and analysis of complex geotechnical and structural designs using advanced 2D/3D design software. Your expertise will be instrumental in delivering innovative and practical solutions for a wide range of projects. Key Responsibilities CAD Design and Modeling: Utilize advanced CAD 2/3D design software (e.g., AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, Infraworks) to create detailed 2D and 3D models of geotechnical and structural designs, including shoring support, retaining walls, foundations, slopes, and tunnels. Develop accurate drawings, plans, sections, and elevations adhering to industry standards and client specifications. Review and verify the accuracy of design drawings and specifications. Provide technical support, mentoring and guidance to junior/intermediate CAD technicians. Continuous knowledge sharing, training and mentoring to develop skills and career growth. Active participant in a global technical community of like-minded practitioners. Quality assurance and control to ensure accuracy and completeness of all design deliverables in line with global standards. Project Support: Collaborate with geotechnical and structural engineers and project managers to understand project requirements and develop design solutions; review data, calculations, and field data for accuracy; provide technical support to project teams including field personnel, contractors, and clients; manage project tasks and review work by junior staff; participate in project meetings and provide input on design matters. Quality Assurance: Conduct thorough reviews of design documents to identify and resolve issues; develop and implement standards and best practices; stay up-to-date with industry standards, codes, and regulations to ensure compliance. Qualifications and Skills A Technician or Technology Diploma or equivalent, preferably in civil, geotechnical, geostructural or ground engineering. Minimum 5 years of demonstrated experience in geostructural drafting and design. Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD design software such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, Infraworks and/or equivalent; knowledge of other industry-specific software is an asset. Ability to visualize 2D drawing work in a 3D environment; strong understanding of geostructural engineering principles. Ability to understand, interpret and translate architectural, structural, surveying, civil and utilities drawings into 2D geostructural drawings and 3D Revit models. Ability to interpret geotechnical engineering reports and borehole logs and translate into 2D geostructural drawings. Ability to prepare 2D and 3D drawings using AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit and other software; adapt standardized drawing details to project requirements. Excellent attention to detail and accuracy; able to work independently and in a team; strong communication and interpersonal skills; ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines. Professional certification (e.g., EIT, PE) is an asset. About Us WSP is one of the world’s leading professional services firms. Our purpose is to future-proof cities and environments.
