This remote, entry‑level position is crafted specifically for motivated individuals who want to learn on the job, develop marketable technical skills, and become an integral part of a fast‑growing engineering services organization. Over the first few weeks, you’ll receive comprehensive training on industry‑standard software, hands‑on mentorship from seasoned engineers, and the confidence to produce professional‑grade drawings that support real‑world infrastructure projects.

Role Overview – What You’ll Do Every Day

As a Virtual Data Entry & Drafting Assistant at arenaflex, you will be the digital backbone of our utility‑mapping team. Your primary responsibility will be to translate field data into accurate, CAD‑based drawings that depict telephone pole placements, conduit routes, and related infrastructure across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. While the role is remote, you will collaborate closely with on‑site engineers, project managers, and quality‑control specialists to ensure every plan meets strict regulatory standards and client expectations.

Key Responsibilities

• Utilize computer‑aided design (CAD) and MicroStation software to create, edit, and finalize utility‑mapping drawings.
• Interpret survey data, GPS coordinates, and field notes to accurately plot telephone poles, cable trays, and related assets.
• Maintain a meticulous digital filing system, ensuring all drawings are version‑controlled and easily retrievable.
• Participate in virtual training sessions, hands‑on workshops, and weekly knowledge‑share meetings to accelerate skill acquisition.
• Collaborate with senior drafters and engineers to resolve design conflicts, answer technical questions, and incorporate feedback.
• Conduct quality checks on your own work, flagging any inconsistencies or potential errors before submission.
• Support the broader project team by preparing presentation‑ready graphics, reports, and documentation as needed.
• Adhere to safety, compliance, and data‑privacy standards set by arenaxflex and client regulations.

Essential Qualifications – What We Need From You

• High School Diploma or equivalent – a solid educational foundation is required.
• Strong interest in CAD software – prior experience is not mandatory; a willingness to learn is essential.
• Excellent attention to detail – the ability to spot discrepancies and maintain precision in drawings.
• Problem‑solving mindset – you should enjoy tackling technical challenges and finding logical solutions.
• Effective communication skills – both written and verbal, to interact with remote teammates and convey design intent.
• Self‑motivation and a go‑getter attitude – you thrive when given autonomy and are eager to take ownership of your work.
• Reliable high‑speed internet connection – essential for remote collaboration and large file transfers.

Preferred Qualifications – What Will Set You Apart

• Basic familiarity with CAD or MicroStation through coursework, hobby projects, or informal learning.
• Experience with geographic information systems (GIS) or mapping tools.
• Previous exposure to construction, civil engineering, or utility‑infrastructure environments.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in a remote setting while meeting deadlines.
• Strong organizational skills and a track record of managing multiple tasks simultaneously.

Core Skills & Competencies for Success

• Technical Aptitude: Quick learner of new software platforms, especially CAD and MicroStation.
• Analytical Thinking: Ability to interpret raw data and translate it into accurate visual representations.
• Collaboration: Comfortable using virtual collaboration tools (e.g., Teams, Slack, Zoom) to stay connected with the team.
• Time Management: Prioritize tasks effectively to meet project milestones and deliverables.
• Adaptability: Thrive in a dynamic environment where project scopes and priorities may shift.
• Customer‑Focused Mindset: Understanding that your drawings directly impact client satisfaction and public safety.
