As a Modeling Engineer , you will play a key role in preparing and optimizing 3D models used for machine control and field operations. Your work will directly support the operations team by turning 2D plans and AutoCAD files into accurate, practical models for GPS-enabled heavy equipment. This position is ideal for someone with a survey or civil engineering background and a strong understanding of construction workflows and CAD tools.
Key Responsibilities
- Interpret 2D plans and construction documents to develop and refine models for machine control
- Convert and adapt client-provided CAD files (AutoCAD, MicroStation) into usable formats for field teams
- Use Carlson and other modeling software to build accurate site models for excavation, grading, and underground utility work
- Make engineering adjustments and ensure model accuracy based on project needs and field input
- Collaborate with estimators, project managers, and field personnel to ensure models reflect real-world conditions
- Maintain organized model files and documentation for each project
