Role Summary:

Revamp is hiring a CAD Manager to own firmwide CAD standards, drafting quality, and the templates and content libraries our engineering teams rely on across our utility-scale solar PV, BESS, and substation projects. In this role, you’ll manage and improve templates, layers, blocks, plotting standards, and detail libraries in AutoCAD and Civil 3D, lead CAD implementation and training across the firm, and strengthen the QA/QC practices that keep drawing sets consistent across disciplines.

You’ll partner with engineering discipline leads and the Integration & Process Automation team to find where drafting work can be standardized or automated, and you’ll mentor drafting and design staff—helping teams produce consistent, high-quality deliverables to meet a demanding schedule. Scripting and automation skills are a strong plus and will shape the tools our drafting teams use, but the core of this role is CAD standards, quality, and enablement. As an employee-owner at Revamp, you’ll make a direct impact accelerating the clean energy transition—building tools and standards that scale how we deliver renewable projects, while sharing in the value you help create through our ESOP.
