About The Role

We are seeking a talented BIM Designer who approaches design through a lens of technical clarity and creative narrative. You will play a pivotal role in translating design ideas—whether sketched, conceptual or refined—into detailed BIM models, construction-ready drawings, and immersive visuals. You’ll help tell the story of each project, ensuring precision, beauty, and integrity from concept to construction.

You will shape how digital design tools drive our projects from concept through construction. This role combines technical mastery with creative vision — you’ll not only build precise, information-rich models

but also guide our studio’s approach to design technology and storytelling.

Key Responsibilities

• Model Building: Translate hand-drawn sketches and design ideas into accurate, information-rich BIM models
• Visualization & Presentation: Produce evocative 3D renderings and interactive model presentations using BIMx or similar tools
• Collaborative Development: Partner with our architects, designers, estimating team, build team, and clients to refine designs, incorporate feedback, and adapt documents and models to real-world conditions
• Documentation & Permitting: Prepare permitting packages, ensure BIM models align with codes and requirements, and maintain accuracy through all project phases
• Design Documentation: Develop comprehensive construction documents that clearly convey architectural intent
• Storytelling Through Design: Use BIM not only as a technical tool but as a medium to tell the project’s design story—making the vision vivid for clients and our building team alike
  
  

Qualifications

• Proficiency in BIM software (Archicad, Revit, or similar)
• Proven experience developing construction document sets
• Talent for translating hand sketches into BIM models
• Expertise in 3D visualization, rendering, and BIMx (or similar)
• Relevant experience, ideally in residential or light commercial design/build projects
• Firm understanding of building techniques, detailing, and code compliance
• A spirit of collaboration, aligned with our values of Excellence, Integrity, Solutions, Joy, and Accountability
  
  

Portfolio Requirements

• Construction document samples (plans, elevations, sections, details)
• BIM model examples
• 3D visuals or renderings
• BIMx or equivalent interactive presentations or client-facing graphics
