[Hiring] Infrastructure 3D Designer & BIM Manager @Glydways

Meet the team:

The 3D Designer & BIM Manager will love to draft, model and illustrate spaces, places and technology and to show them off beautifully. The ideal candidate will also be able to create a BIM library of core system components while also being able to integrate bespoke solutions in a wide variety of settings.

The 3D Designer and BIM Manager will create 3D digital prototype assets (we currently use Sketchup, and are open to identifying an optimal solution over time) to first illustrate the various infrastructure elements comprising the Glydways system. This work will provide the basis for the development and management of a fully integrated, parametric BIM library. These assets will be developed in collaboration with the commercial, system planning and engineering groups. Subsequently, they will provide a basis of design and engineering intent for collaboration with third party consultants in delivering new Glydways projects.

In addition, to creating the 3D conceptual and BIM libraries, the role will also create legible architectural plans, sections, elevations and other graphic assets to communicate both system and project elements. Finally, the Designer will support the creation of high quality renderings by third party providers. 

This position requires a creative, results-oriented individual to be able to participate in a diverse, multi-disciplinary team and to directly contribute to the design and refinement of the infrastructure elements and system plans through daily interaction (written, graphic and verbal) contributing to strong collaborative relationships among the Glydways team.  They must possess a high-level attention to detail with proven skills in producing architectural design concept drawings and graphics.

A successful candidate will be self-motivated and possess the initiative to deliver high quality, technically sound modeled and graphic assets; be flexible, well-organized, accountable and a proactive communicator.
