Integrated Geomatics Inc. is a Calgary-based firm providing Surveying (Geomatics) and Environmental consulting services across Alberta. We support clients in the oil & gas, infrastructure, utility, and land development sectors. Our field-to-finish workflows depend on high-quality CAD automation. We are seeking a CAD Developer with expertise in AutoDesk platforms to modernize and streamline our drafting and plan preparation systems.

Position Summary:

As an AutoDesk CAD Developer, you will lead the development and optimization of custom CAD tools—primarily for AutoCAD Civil 3D—to support the generation of AER-compliant survey plans and environmental mapping products. Working closely with Geomatics technologists, CAD specialists, and management, you will enhance workflows for deliverables such as wellsite plans, pipeline alignments, and access roads

This is a specialized, high-impact role focused on technical precision, regulatory compliance, and workflow efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain Civil 3D tools, templates, and scripts based on AER Plan Submission Guidelines.
  • Automate CAD tasks including data import, annotation, labeling, and plotting for Alberta-specific survey plans (e.g., site plans, plan/profile sheets, right-of-way diagrams).
  • Develop intelligent title block automation and standardized output tools for regulatory submittals.
  • Integrate field data from GNSS, total stations, UAVs, and LiDAR into CAD workflows.
  • Collaborate with survey and environmental teams to ensure CAD deliverables meet field conditions and provincial standards.
  • Facilitate data interoperability with GIS (ESRI), survey software (e.g. Trimble Business Center), and cloud-based platforms.
  • Troubleshoot CAD-related issues and provide documentation, training, and support to internal users.

Required Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in AutoDesk development, particularly AutoCAD Civil 3D.
  • Proficiency with AutoLISP, .NET (C#/VB.NET), or Python for CAD automation.
  • Proven experience preparing AER-compliant survey plans for Alberta projects.
  • Deep understanding of Alberta coordinate systems (e.g., NAD83 3TM), township systems, and survey-grade data management.
  • Familiarity with CAD linework standards, symbology, and formatting for AER and Alberta Land Titles submissions.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with survey software platforms such as Trimble, Leica, or Carlson.
  • Understanding of Alberta regulatory frameworks (e.g., Directive 056, Public Lands Act, Water Act).
  • Diploma or degree in Geomatics, Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Experience with Trimble, Leica, or Carlson survey software platforms.

What We Offer

  • Work in a Calgary-based office with field-proven experts and a mission-driven team.
  • Competitive compensation (commensurate with experience), benefits, and flexible work options (hybrid available).
  • Impactful work on real Alberta projects in energy, land development, and environmental stewardship.
  • Career development support, including software certifications and technical training.
