Lead classroom and hands-on technical workshops</li><li>
Teach modeling sequencing discipline and constructability logic</li><li>
Implement self-QA training systems</li><li>
Build structured material matrix development frameworks</li><li>
Partner with Learning &amp; Development to create scalable global training assets</li><li>
Pilot at least one AI-enabled workflow to improve QA validation, sequencing accuracy, or modeling efficiency</li></ul> 
Who Thrives Here
You are likely a strong fit if you:<ul><li>
Have deep hands-on experience modeling process piping systems in Revit</li><li>
Understand fabrication standards and constructability implications</li><li>
Have trained, mentored, or coached other detailers</li><li>
Enjoy building systems, not just executing tasks</li><li>
Thrive in standards-driven, quality-focused environments</li><li>
Are comfortable traveling internationally and working cross-culturally</li></ul> 
Career Move - Not Just a Job
This role moves you from individual contributor to global capability architect.
Instead of delivering models, you will deliver performance improvement across an international organization - shaping how process piping BIM is taught, executed, and scaled.
If you're ready to elevate from expert modeler to global technical leader, please apply. 
Compensation and featured benefits:<ul><li>
The pay for this position is $95,000 &ndash; $130,000, and the role is eligible for bonuses. The actual salary offer may be different as we carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, location, and experience</li><li>
Health insurance with the choice of five plan options. We cover 70-95% of premiums for VIATechies and 65% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plan chosen)</li><li>
Dental and vision insurance. We cover up to 75% of the monthly insurance premiums for VIATechies and up to 50% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plans chosen)</li><li>
Open and flexible time off</li><li>
A 401(k) plan that is fully vested immediately</li><li>
Home office setup costs</li><li>
Paid holidays</li></ul> 
As a minority and woman owned and led company, VIATechnik seeks to build a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. VIATechnik is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.

Climate Systems Engineering Research Initiatives 
About the Department
The Climate Systems Engineering initiative (CSEi) is a groundbreaking, university-wide research effort anchored in the University of Chicago Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth. CSEi addresses the science, engineering, and policy of new technologies to reduce or reverse the harms from accumulated greenhouse gasses, including open-systems carbon removal, solar geoengineering, and local interventions to slow the melting of glaciers. The initiative spans engineering, physical and biological sciences, social sciences, humanistic approaches, behavioral science, law, policy and ethics, bringing together a collaborative group of faculty and researchers and leveraging the global network and partnerships of the University. 
Job Summary
The Climate Systems Engineering initiative at the University of Chicago seeks an experienced Research Engineer to help bridge the gaps between academic modeling and factual engineering planning of SAI and open-system CDR. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) is a prospective climate engineering approach by which small particles, typically sulfate aerosol precursors, are delivered to the lower stratosphere by fixed-wing aircraft to temporarily offset some warming induced by increased atmospheric CO2. This role collaborates on improving technological readiness for stratospheric aerosol injection and open-system carbon dioxide removal approaches deployment. Open-system carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches seek to amend natural systems to enhance their capacity to remove and sequester CO2 with the aim of reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Examples include (i) ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) in which alkalinizing materials are added to seawater to increase the ocean&rsquo;s capacity to store inorganic carbon; as well as (ii) enhanced rock weathering in which suitable minerals are applied to agricultural lands to accelerate natural geochemical carbon cycling. While these approaches have recently seen a rapid rise in academic research, industry interest and policy attention, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding their deployment and general implementation, which at this stage are still largely theoretical.
Responsibilities<ul><li>

Supports writing white paper and/or peer-reviewed publications, synthesizing pre-existing reports and available information on carbon-neutral quicklime production, as well as other relevant topics.</li><li>
Conducts techno-economic analyses and evaluates cost estimates for end-to-end large scale OAE deployments, for example, slaked lime dispersal from calcination and associated CO2 storage to material distribution.</li><li>
Designs and evaluates processes and technologies for alkalinizing material dispersal in open-ocean settings.</li><li>
Assists in designing laboratory experiments testing engineering hypotheses. Manages subcontracts with EPC firms and consultants.</li><li>
Plans own resources effectively to ensure projects are delivered on time, to standard and to budget.</li><li>
With a moderate level of guidance, researches, designs and evaluates a variety of mechanical processes and machinery.</li><li>
