Job Summary

The ITS CAD Design Engineer creates and modifies detailed engineering drawings for roadside and gantry-mounted intelligent traffic networks. This role bridges the gap between field instrumentation and data networks by mapping out structural layouts, electrical terminations, and communication pathways. All designs must strictly adhere to the Saudi Road Code (SRC), Tahakom specifications and KSA Ministry of Transport (MOT) standards.

Key Responsibilities

Cabinet Internal Design

• Develop detailed internal layout drawings, component placement, and rail configurations for roadside
• networking cabinets

and

• control cabinets
• .

Power & Signal Distribution

Draft internal cabinet wiring schematics, power distribution layouts (AC/DC), surge protection arrangements, and cooling/ventilation system designs.

System Design & Layouts

Draft 2D/3D structural equipment layouts for highway gantries, cantilevers, and roadside poles housing speed radars, ANPR cameras, and Variable Message Signs (VMS).

Instrumentation Hook-Ups

Create precise electrical termination drawings, loop detector installations, and physical field-to-cabinet interface layouts.

Network & Fiber Mapping

Design structured cabling, fiber optic routing, and localized network topologies connecting field equipment to roadside switches and control centers.

Infrastructure Containment

Draft underground conduit layouts, trenching cross-sections, and cable containment paths while managing civil/utility clash detection.

Environmental Optimization

Adapt design sheets to accommodate harsh desert conditions, incorporating specific ingress protection (IP65/IP66) and heat-resilience metrics.

Documentation Control

Manage engineering red-lines, coordinate drawing layers, and deliver precise As-Built packages and Bills of Materials (BOM).

Qualifications & Skills

Hard Skills & Technical Knowledge

Experience

3–5 years of CAD drafting experience, with 2+ years dedicated to ITS, highway infrastructure, or traffic enforcement projects (GCC/KSA experience highly preferred).

Software

Expert command of AutoCAD or MicroStation. Exposure to Civil 3D or BIM workflows is an advantage.

Technical Knowledge

Strong understanding of industrial networking hardware (managed switches, media converters), physical media (fiber, copper), and basic protocol architectures (Ethernet, Serial, RS-485, NTCIP).

Standards & Compliance

Solid working knowledge of the Saudi Road Code (SRC), Tahakom requirements, and KSA transport authority standards.

Language

Professional English proficiency is required; Arabic communication skills are a plus.

Soft Skills & Professional Attributes

Cross-Functional Teamwork

Ability to collaborate seamlessly within a multi-disciplinary team, aligning drafting outputs with the needs of civil, electrical, and network engineers.

Time Management & Delivery

Strong organizational skills to manage multiple overlapping design deadlines and fast-tracked project schedules effectively.

Analytical Problem Solving

Proactive mindset to identify engineering layout errors, resolve physical utility clashes, and propose practical drafting solutions.

Attention to Detail

Meticulous precision in checking drawing layers, scale, annotations, and system schematics to minimize field errors.

Adaptability & Resilience

Capability to work efficiently under pressure and easily adapt to frequent design revisions from clients or consultants.
