[Hiring] Visualization Architect @Better-Pros

Role Description

Are you a fast, detail-oriented architectural visualization specialist who enjoys turning early design ideas into compelling renderings? We're looking for a Visualization Architect to support a client working on urban design projects, helping them put together a presentation built around quick, high-impact renderings during the Schematic Design phase, with the opportunity to expand to other projects as needed. This is a flexible, project-based role built around discrete engagements rather than a continuous daily commitment.

Think of this as a design-visualization role: you'll be the rendering toolkit that brings the client's urban design vision to life for presentations, producing quick, clear visuals that communicate ideas effectively at an early stage.

What you'll do:

• Take SketchUp models and design inputs and develop them into quick renderings for Schematic Design presentations.
• Produce fast, high-quality renders that communicate urban design ideas clearly, including streetscapes, public spaces, building massing, and site context.
• Help put together a presentation that uses renderings to tell the story of the project.
• Work from incomplete inputs: sketches, massing studies, site plans, and reference imagery.
• Develop conceptual visualizations during early design phases.
• Create massing, material, and spatial studies to support design exploration at the urban scale.
• Deliver one-off rendering packages per project milestone rather than a continuous daily commitment.
• Interpret design intent and translate it into accurate, compelling visualizations.
• Implement revisions quickly based on client feedback.
• Support multiple project deliverables while maintaining quality and efficiency.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Visualization Architect, Architectural Visualizer, or Rendering Specialist.
• A strong portfolio of architectural renderings, ideally including urban design projects.
• Proficiency in SketchUp plus a rendering engine of your choice (e.g., Enscape, V-Ray, Lumion, D5, Twinmotion, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience producing quick renders for Schematic Design or early-stage presentations.
• Experience working on urban design projects.
• Strong understanding of scale, context, lighting, composition, and visual storytelling.
• Fluent written and spoken English.
• Ability to interpret design intent from incomplete or sketch-level information.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality visual output.
• Reliable, fast turnaround on a per-project basis.
• Availability to work on a flexible, on-demand basis for discrete engagements.

Requirements

• Experience designing and assembling client-facing presentations (e.g., InDesign, PowerPoint, or similar).
• Experience with master planning, mixed-use, or public realm projects.
• Experience with island, coastal, or resort-style environments.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and additional rendering or post-production tools (e.g., Photoshop).
• Experience using AI visualization tools for rendering enhancement.
• Ability to create conceptual visualizations from sketches or reference images.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation.
• Flexibility.
• Constant learning and growth.
• Opportunity to work anywhere you want with one of our +130 active clients across the United States.
