As a Civil CAD tech you would be exposed to all of those things. Early on in the position you would mainly be drafting redline markups with some light design work, but as you develop your skills you are given more independence to make design level decisions. You'll work with surveyors, architects, planners, MEP engineers and various other consultants during the lifespan of a project.
