AutoCAD Technician Intern

Job Summary: 

The AutoCAD Technician Intern works alongside the Logisticus engineering team on a range of civil drafting tasks supporting active renewable and alternative energy projects — wind, solar, and large-scale power infrastructure. Core work includes turnoverlays — CAD drawings that simulate how oversized and overweight vehicles navigate roads, intersections, and site entrances — to identify the infrastructure improvements needed for safe transport. The intern will also assist with warehouse and laydown yard layouts, miscellaneous site improvement drawings, and road grade analysis to ensure routes meet vehicle clearance requirements. This is a part-time internship (10–15 hours per week) open to current students in Civil Engineering Technology, CAD/Drafting, GIS, or a similar program. The intern reports directly to the Engineering Director and works on real client projects from day one.

Supervisory Responsibilities: 

None.

Duties/Responsibilities:

• Build turnoverlays in AutoCAD using the Vehicle Tracking module — showing how specific trailer types navigate intersections and site entrances.
• Import aerial imagery and site plans into AutoCAD as base layers; generate trailer body path, wheel path, and clearance buffers per project standards.
• Annotate drawings with labels, legends, scale bars, north arrows, and title block details; note any radius improvements or physical conflicts (poles, signs, curbing).
• Assist with additional layout drawings as needed — laydown yards, storage plans, and outdoor site layouts.
• Help build and organize the vehicle library (the database of trailer and vehicle configurations used across projects).
• Download and prepare GIS data — parcel boundaries, road widths, right-of-way lines, culvert locations — for use in AutoCAD.
• Support the engineering team with organizing permitting documents for active projects.
• Export final PDFs and keep project files organized per company naming conventions.
• Shadow Engineering Project Managers on active projects; communicate any drawing questions to your supervising engineer. Perform other duties as assigned.

Education and Experience:

• Currently enrolled in a Civil Engineering Technology, CAD/Drafting, GIS, Surveying Technology, Construction Management, or related program (required).
• Proficiency in AutoCAD — 2D drafting at minimum — through coursework or hands-on practice (required).
• Ability to read site plans and basic engineering drawings (required).
• Familiarity with GIS and ability to download publicly available GIS data (preferred).
• Any experience with Autodesk Vehicle Tracking or AutoTURN is a plus — we will train you.
• Comfortable with Microsoft Office — Word and Excel at minimum (preferred).
• Strong attention to detail and willingness to follow production standards.

Physical Requirements:

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this role.
