AutoCAD Configuration & Electrical Standards Specialist

The Opportunity

We are partnering with a leading organisation in the utilities and geospatial technology space to secure a highly specialised AutoCAD Configuration & Electrical Standards Specialist.

This is a unique hybrid role that blends high-level CAD configuration expertise with electrical design knowledge, focused on building the digital backbone that enables efficient, standardised utility mains design.

You'll play a critical role in shaping how engineering teams design, document, and deliver electrical infrastructure—driving consistency, quality, and scalability across projects.

Key Responsibilities

AutoCAD Configuration & Standardisation

• Configure and maintain AutoCAD templates (DWT) aligned to utility drafting standards
• Define and enforce CAD standards across:
• Layers, lineweights, linetypes, colours, plot styles
• Text, dimensions, multileaders, annotation scales
• Sheet layouts, title blocks, and viewports
• Establish workflows for drawing setup, sheet organisation, and plotting/PDF outputs

Block Library Development (Electrical Utilities)

• Develop and manage 2D/3D block libraries for electrical assets including:
• Transformers, switchgear, kiosks, conduits, poles, protection devices
• Implement best-practice block design:
• Attributes, dynamic blocks, consistent insertion logic
• Maintain naming conventions, version control, and distribution across teams

Equipment Specification Sheets

• Support the creation of technical specification sheets covering:
• Asset ratings, materials, performance, compliance
• Collaborate with engineers and asset teams to ensure:
• Real-world applicability
• Maintainability and lifecycle alignment
• Develop reusable templates and structured content libraries

About You

You are a CAD power user with real-world electrical domain experience, comfortable operating at both a technical configuration level and within engineering contexts.

Core Experience

• Proven experience configuring AutoCAD in multi-user environments
• Strong capability building and managing block libraries (dynamic blocks preferred)
• Background in electrical utilities or infrastructure
• Understanding of:
• Electrical distribution assets
• Utility design drawing packages
• Experience producing or supporting technical/specification documentation
• High attention to detail with a strong QA and governance mindset
• Ability to engage with engineers and translate requirements into standards

Nice to Have

• Exposure to AutoCAD Map 3D / Automated Utility Design (AUD)
• LISP/VBA scripting or CAD automation experience
• Knowledge of GIS/CAD integration or spatial systems
• Experience with document management platforms (e.g. SharePoint, OpenText)
• Familiarity with asset lifecycle and metadata standards in utilities

Why This Role?

• Work on high-impact energy and utilities projects
• Shape foundational CAD standards used across engineering teams
• Flexible working (remote/hybrid options available)
• Strong likelihood of contract extension
• Collaborative, forward-thinking environment leveraging modern geospatial tooling

Next Steps

If you're a CAD specialist who understands the realities of electrical infrastructure design and wants to influence how projects are delivered at scale, we'd like to hear from you.
