Project Overview:
The Walsh-VINCI Transit Community Partners (WVTCP) Joint Venture consisting of VINCI Construction Grands Projets and Walsh Construction has been selected to construct the $2.9BN Design Build Red Line Extension (RLE) project – the largest civil construction contract ever awarded by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). The RLE Mainline Design-Build (MDB) Project will extend the CTA's Red Line by 5.6 miles, extending from the existing terminal at 95th/Dan Ryan south to 130th Street and Doty Avenue. The CAD Technician is responsible for preparing plans to be used in engineering and construction, including highway, bridge and/or tunnel components. They will support our engineering department in designing and drafting plans, roadway profiles, cross sections, and general civil engineering/infrastructure project elements.
Responsibilities:
- Prepares means and methods drawings on the construction methods, sequence of works, temporary works, formwork definition as well as lifting operations and logistic issues, including scaffolding and accesses.
- Ensure that all the Requirements from Employers and any parties are met and that no objections can be provided to the permanent construction.
- Ensure that the drawings are developed using the workflows set in the CAD Manual.
- Ensure that those drawings are compliant with the required standards by using designated software.
- Work closely with engineers, surveyors, managers and other departments.
- Integrate quality and safety measurements and prevent any risks in the execution methods and sequence drawings.
- Report about the progress of the design development.
- Circulate the drawings to the design or construction team for their further review and upon review, integrate the received comments through issuance of reviewed drawings.
- Assist the engineering department on creating standards, libraries and templates.
- Train and mentor junior drafters.
- Perform other related duties as assigned
