AutoCAD Civil 3D Modeler

About This Role

This role involves developing, coordinating, reviewing, and maintaining accurate 3D models of underground, surface, and above-ground dry utility infrastructure. The AutoCAD Civil 3D Modeler supports design coordination, clash identification, 2D drawing extraction, quantity take-offs, and model deliverables for design, permitting, and construction teams on the Hamilton LRT project.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain 3D models for dry utility infrastructure which may include telecom, electrical, streetlighting, and CCTV conduit systems, utility poles, and related civil interfaces
• Convert 2D utility design drawings, survey data, record information, and existing model inputs into accurate 3D utility models
• Support development of combined utility models, federated models, and IFC exports for multidisciplinary coordination and client submissions
• Participate in clash detection, model reviews, constructability reviews, and coordination meetings with design, construction, and stakeholder teams
• Extract 2D plans, profiles, utility composite drawings, details, and model-based documentation from 3D models as required
• Maintain modelling standards, file organization, data integrity, and quality control checks across project deliverables
• Support quantity take-offs, construction planning, utility conflict analysis, and design change reviews related to dry utility assets

Requirements

• 2–5+ years of experience with Civil 3D
• Diploma, degree, or certificate in Civil Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, CAD/BIM, Geomatics, Construction Technology, or a related discipline
• 2–5+ years of experience in 3D modelling, CAD/BIM production, utility design, civil infrastructure, transit, municipal, or dry utility coordination projects
• Proficiency with Civil 3D and AutoCAD
• Working knowledge of dry utilities, including telecommunications, hydro, streetlighting, traffic/CCTV, duct banks, pole lines, utility corridors, and underground civil utility interfaces
• Ability to interpret 2D design drawings, utility records, survey files, profiles, alignments, surfaces, and construction details
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to model accuracy
• Effective coordination and communication with multidisciplinary project teams
• Ability to manage priorities and meet model submission deadlines
• Practical understanding of construction sequencing, utility conflicts, constructability, and field constraints
• Problem-solving mindset with the ability to identify gaps, conflicts, and incomplete utility information

Nice to have:

• Experience with Navisworks, BIM 360/ACC, or other model coordination platforms
