Job Description

The CAD/PLM Administrator is an individual contributor role with high potential for shaping future organizational structure.

Key Responsibilities

CAD Standards: Build Fervo’s CAD standards, including drafting conventions, title blocks, drawing templates, and file management protocols across all engineering modules. Drive 3D model-based approaches where they create leverage, such as clash detection, constructability reviews, and as-built capture.
PLM Administration: Govern Fervo’s Siemens Teamcenter PLM environment, including part numbering, BOM structures, revision workflows, and ECR/ECO/ECN processes. Define integrations between PLM and enterprise systems (ERP, procurement, asset management) so design data flows cleanly across the digital thread without manual re-keying.
Document Control and Transmittal: Ensure the EDMS and transmittal workflow is integrated with CAD/PLM end-to-end, including outgoing submittals, vendor drawing review, RFI tracking, and redline incorporation into the as-built record. Define and/or enforce document numbering, revision conventions, and distribution matrices, and review and approve all deliverables before IFC issue or external distribution.
Standardization: Drive standardization across all engineering modules so that every plant benefits from the drawing and data work done on the last one. Find the best process to close the feedback loop between design and field execution, applying redline patterns and constructability issues forward to future plant designs.
CAD and Plant Design: Use Fervo’s CAD tools (Siemens NX, Autodesk, and Revit) or similar with a deep understanding of the CAD process to ensure good data governance and design practices.
PLM/PDM and EDMS: Hold workflow design and PLM administration in Siemens Teamcenter, or a similar system, to the highest standard. Evaluate whether a standalone EDMS or PLM-native document control is the right fit at Fervo’s scale, and make that call with a clear rationale.
Enterprise Integration: Understand how BOMs, part masters, and procurement data connect between PLM and ERP (SAP, Oracle, or similar), and where integration breaks without governance.

Requirements

Siemens NX and/or Teamcenter experience
Background in aerospace, automotive OEM, or semiconductor, where PLM is foundational to the engineering process
EDMS experience in capital project environments and familiarity with PLM-ERP integration (SAP or Oracle)
Background building something that had to scale, where the standard you set mattered far beyond the project in front of you
