**Job Title: CAD Designer (Short‑Term Contract)** **Location:** Remote **Duration:** Short‑Term Contract **Overview:** NEC is seeking a skilled **CAD Designer** to support a short‑term engineering project focused on converting a client’s stationary system into a fully modular configuration suitable for **rail and truck transport**. The ideal candidate will have strong 3D modeling abilities, experience with mechanical packaging or modular systems, and the ability to translate existing designs into transport‑ready modular units. **Key Responsibilities:** • Review and interpret the client’s current stationary system drawings, layouts, and design files. • Develop **modularized CAD models** optimized for rail and truck shipment, ensuring structural integrity and transportability. • Create detailed fabrication, assembly, and packaging drawings for modular units. • Collaborate with engineers to incorporate mechanical, structural, and logistical requirements into the design. • Ensure compliance with dimensional constraints, weight limits, lift/rigging points, and transportation regulations. • Produce revision updates and maintain organized CAD documentation throughout the project lifecycle. • Participate in design reviews and rapidly implement feedback. **Required Qualifications:** • Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, or equivalent). • Experience with modular design, skid systems, or equipment packaging (preferred). • Strong understanding of mechanical layouts, tolerances, and fabrication methods. • Ability to work quickly and accurately under short project timelines. • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with remote engineering teams. **Preferred Qualifications:** • Background in designing systems for transport (rail/truck) or industrial equipment integration. • Knowledge of structural framing, lifting/rigging considerations, or transport‑rated enclosures. **About the Role:** This is a fast‑paced short‑term project ideal for a designer who can step in quickly, work independently, and deliver high‑quality modular CAD packages that transform a stationary system into a transport‑ready solution.
