BIM/CAD Technician

Freese and Nichols is seeking a motivated BIM/CAD Technician to join our Transportation team in one of our Oklahoma offices; Oklahoma City or Tulsa. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys technical work, problem-solving, and wants to build a long-term career in transportation design.

In this role, you'll do more than produce drawings. You'll be part of a collaborative project team supporting roadway, drainage, and multimodal transportation projects across the region. With hands-on experience, structured training, and close mentorship, this position is designed to grow into a true transportation designer role over time.

At Freese and Nichols, we invest in our people. You'll be supported by an experienced team that values teaching, consistency, and technical excellence, and you'll follow a clear development path that builds both software skills and real-world design understanding.

This position is ideal for someone who wants more than a drafting job. Over time, you'll gain exposure to transportation design principles, project workflows, and technical decision-making. With interest and initiative, this role can evolve into a transportation designer position, supported by a team that is committed to long-term growth and career development.

Responsibilities:

• Support transportation projects by preparing and modifying engineering and construction drawings

• Learn and apply Freese and Nichols CAD and BIM standards under the guidance of Project Managers, Designers, and Lead CAD staff

• Apply revisions from markups and backchecks to ensure accuracy and quality

• Collaborate with engineers and designers to understand how plans come together, from concept through final design

• Learn industry-standard tools including Bentley OpenRoads Designer. Prior experience is not required. We provide structured training, documented workflows, and hands-on mentoring
