About the role

  • You will convert concepts into manufacturable products and PE-reviewable submittals, develop digital twins, support CFD modeling, establish drafting standards, and collaborate with engineering, operations, R&D, fabrication partners, and installers to deliver accurate, code-aligned drawing packages.

Responsibilities

  • Create and maintain detailed 3D models in AutoCAD Plant 3D, and Civil 3D, and produce disciplined 2D drawings in AutoCAD for housings, enclosures, piping systems, valves, sensors, electrical panels, wiring diagrams, foundations, anchorage, and installation hardware.
  • Develop digital twins and perform advanced CFD modeling using Siemens Xcelerator, Siemens STAR-CCM+, and Simcenter for hydraulic behavior, flow modeling, multiphase interactions, bubble dynamics, mixing, retention times, and mechanical integration.
  • Apply industrial-design principles to create visually compelling models while maintaining manufacturability and cost efficiency across sheet metal, machined parts, plastics, castings, and purchased components.
  • Establish and maintain CAD/PDM standards, templates, detail libraries, layer conventions, symbol sets, and revision control; manage ECNs and as-built documentation.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, civil/site, and field teams to balance hydraulic, electrical, structural, and installation constraints; support prototypes, pilot systems, redlines, factory/field fit-ups, and rapid design iterations.
  • Work with supply chain and fabrication partners to optimize manufacturability, tolerances, finishes, material choices, and lead times; provide quick-turn drawing updates during sourcing and production.
  • Perform all other duties as instructed by the company.
  • VVater seeks an experienced, multi-disciplinary CAD Designer to lead 3D/2D product design and permit-ready documentation for water and wastewater treatment products across multiple U.S. jurisdictions.
  • This role blends mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil/site, and process considerations with high-quality industrial design.

Requirements

  • proficiency with Bluebeam (or similar) for markups and submittals.
  • Deep working knowledge of U.S. codes and standards, including IBC/IRC, IPC/UPC, NEC, ADA/ICC A117.1, NSF/ANSI 60/61/372, AWWA standards, UL/ETL pathways, and the ability to interpret and apply local amendments.
  • Demonstrated ability to produce accurate, attractive, code-aligned drawing sets quickly and respond effectively to AHJ review comments.
  • Prepare complete submittal packages, respond to AHJ review comments, and coordinate with Professional Engineers for design sealing where required (designer will not seal drawings).

Nice to have

  • Navisworks or Revit
  • familiarity with CAM
  • Unfortunately, should you elect not to participate in completing the assessment tests, your application will not be able to progress to the next stage or be considered during evaluation.
  • Expert proficiency in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Civil 3D, and Fusion 360 (preferred for mechanical assemblies)
  • strong PDM discipline (Fusion Team, Vault, or equivalent).
