Are you an experienced CAD drafting technician, or a recent graduate, looking to build a long-term career in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure? Do you want direct exposure to Plant 3D, Revit, and cross discipline design coordination, with a senior mentor guiding your growth from day one? If you take pride in precise, dependable drafting work and want to grow into a broader design and coordination role over time, we want to hear from you.

A Little About Us

We are engineers, technologists, planners, landscape architects, scientists, and their support teams that work together to deliver infrastructure, minimizing environmental impact and maximizing benefit to the community. We work hard and play hard because that is what #ISLLIFE is all about. Check us out on Instagram, X, and LinkedIn.

ISL's water/wastewater team delivers design for treatment, conveyance and storage infrastructure across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. We are committed to finding, mentoring, and growing the right individuals and our team approach is integral to our success through:

- Continuous Improvement – we are never satisfied with the status quo and are always looking to find a better way to get the job done.
- Fun, Flexible, Hybrid Work Environment – culture is key, and we foster a strong team culture in multiple ways. We understand the dynamic nature of work and personal life, so we offer a flexible hybrid work environment to help facilitate success in both.
- Ongoing Development – we have a culture of mentorship that supports your career plans and uses both firsthand and formal training opportunities (internal and external) to build a versatile, well rounded skill set, fully funded.
- Compelling,



Varied Work – no two days are the same. You will primarily support and coordinate the process and buildings mechanical aspects of treatment plants, pump stations, reservoirs, and related municipal infrastructure across multiple provinces. However, there will be times when the structural and electrical disciplines are working through a peak and need our help.

A Little About You

Your cover letter should demonstrate:

- Your approach to drafting work as both part of a team and independently.
- Your approach to time management and reprioritizing across multiple project deadlines.
- Your organizational and detail-oriented skills.
- What interests you about municipal water/wastewater infrastructure and long-term CAD/design work.

Your resume should show us:

- Post secondary education in a drafting, design, engineering, or a related technical program, including anticipated graduation date (if applicable), and/or
- Relevant hands-on drafting or design experience – we are open to recent graduates as well as candidates with a few years of experience.

Bonus points for:

- Experience with Autodesk Plant 3D – this is a strong asset, given the vital role Plant 3D plays in our process mechanical design work.
- Experience with other Autodesk platforms including Revit.




- Real world field or industry experience where candidates have worked in a municipal or industrial facility, a construction site, or a related trade bring valuable practical context to drafting and design work.
- Registration (or eligibility for registration) with a regulatory body such as ASET or APEGA.
- Exposure to laser scanning, specification production, or BIM coordination across multiple disciplines.
- Application of tools to automate drafting tasks and cross checking (e.g., Dynamo, Python, Artificial Intelligence, etc.).

A Little More About the Role

This role directly supports our senior water / wastewater technologist by taking on and delivering core 2D and Plant 3D drafting work. By adding this role to the team, space is created for members of our current team to pursue their design career objectives, increases our capacity to deliver projects as the team continues to grow, and helps retain decades of inhouse drafting and design knowledge.

As a key part of our long-term succession planning: you will work closely alongside our senior technologist to build the deep cross discipline CAD knowledge that keeps our water / wastewater, building mechanical, structural and electrical teams running smoothly – with a clear, supported path to take on more of that coordination role over time.

Responsibilities:

- Produce and maintain 2D drafting deliverables primarily in the process mechanical space but also support building mechanical, structural, and electrical disciplines on an ad hoc basis.
- Learn and grow in the Autodesk Plant 3D environment such that you are eventually capable of producing Process & Instrumentation Diagrams, and eq
