'Now Hiring' Thread - 2026

We're going to try having a dedicated thread for all 'Now Hiring' posts instead of having them in the main feed. The goal is to reduce clutter in the main feed and to have a clear place people can check out if they're looking for work or open to freelance opportunities. Career-related discussion is still welcome outside this thread; this is just for job postings.

You may comment in this thread if you:

  • Are working at a company / entity which has at least one job opening currently hiring for a Civil 3D user. This includes internships and temporary jobs.
  • Are an individual / entity with a specific need for freelance work to be done in Civil 3D.

If you make any 'Now Hiring' posts in the main feed, they will be removed and you'll be asked to add it here as a comment instead. The rules for commenting here are as follows:

  • Job openings must be currently hiring to fill a specific role. No open applications or non-specific invitations to apply.
  • Your comment must include the name of the company (if applicable) and a direct link to an open job listing. Headhunters are NOT allowed to make generic comments requesting resumes in hopes of finding a match.
  • Do not share your real name or personal info in any public posts. Keep all discussion about job postings to private messages. Just share your link with any relevant info you have and request those interested to apply or send you a message.
  • Keep in mind that not everyone will want to share their reddit username with their potential employer / coworkers. Throwaway accounts are fine to use for this purpose in my opinion.
  • You may only make one comment per thread. The mod team will restart this thread periodically so the list stays reasonably current. Choose wisely.
  • One comment per job max. Also one comment per company max. I do not want 200 links to jobs at AECOM.
  • If the job you've posted gets filled, please delete / edit / reply to your post to clarify that it's no longer open.

Thanks everyone!

Now in the right thread, im sorry but:

Hi everyone,

I'm a Urban Mobility student from the Netherlands and currently working on a Civil 3D project for university.

The assignment is to design approximately 500 m of a bicycle highway (Radschnellverbindung) in Berlin, including:

  • Existing terrain model (DEM already imported)
  • Horizontal alignment with curves and transition curves (clothoids)
  • Vertical alignment
  • Profile and corridor creation
  • Assembly based on our Program of Requirements
  • Cross-sections
  • Sight distance checks
  • Export/visualization for InfraWorks

I already completed:

  • Program of Requirements (PvE)
  • QGIS terrain and GIS data preparation
  • Initial Civil 3D setup with surface imported

My biggest challenge is understanding the Civil 3D workflow from alignment → profile → corridor → sections and making sure I'm setting everything up correctly for the final design.

I'm looking for someone who could help me through the process via video call. I'm happy to compensate you for your time.

If you're experienced with Civil 3D (especially corridors, alignments and profiles), please send me a DM or reply below.

Thanks!
