CAD Designer Jobs in Missouri

A CAD (Computer-Aided Design) Designer in the construction industry utilizes computer software to design and draft detailed 2D or 3D designs for complex projects such as buildings, infrastructure, and other construction components. They collaborate closely with architects and engineers to ensure designs are accurate and can feasibly be turned into real structures. Their designs are used to visualize the final product, generate materials lists, and guide construction crews on site. They are also responsible for revising and updating designs based on project changes, making sure all necessary regulations and guidelines are adhered to.

To become an effective CAD Designer, strong technical skills, particularly in using CAD software like AutoCAD, Revit, or SolidWorks, are crucial. Good knowledge of construction methodologies, building codes, and design is also important. Certifications like the Autodesk Certified Professional: AutoCAD for Design and Drafting prove proficiency and may increase job prospects. Prior to becoming a CAD Designer, individuals often gain industry knowledge and experience in roles such as Drafter, CAD Technician, or Junior Architect. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work as part of a team are also vital for success in this role.
