About the role
#Tech-Pro-Admin-01 Summary
We are seeking an experienced Architectural Designer to produce high-quality 3D models, renderings, and visual deliverables. This role is focused on pre-sale visualization and developing modeling standards that scale across opportunities.
Responsibilities: 3D Modeling & Visualization
Develop accurate, visually compelling 3D models in Revit, 3ds Max, SketchUp, and Rhino to support active sales opportunities.
Produce photo-realistic renderings, walkthroughs, and presentation visuals using V-Ray, Lumion, or comparable rendering tools.
Quickly iterate on models and visuals in response to sales team feedback, prospect questions, and evolving opportunity requirements.
Translate conceptual sketches, site information, and sales inputs into clear, dimensionally accurate representations of proposed solutions.
Prepare visual assets formatted for proposals, client presentations, and internal review meetings.
Sales Support & Internal Collaboration
Partner closely with the sales team to understand opportunity context, prospect requirements, and the visual story each deal needs.
Prioritize and manage a pipeline of modeling requests across multiple concurrent opportunities, balancing speed with quality.
Participate in internal pursuit meetings and design reviews; contribute ideas on how visuals can strengthen the sales narrative.
Coordinate with engineering, estimating, and project teams as needed to ensure models reflect feasible, in-scope solutions.
Knowledge Base & Modeling Standards
Build and maintain our internal modeling knowledge base, capturing the standards that drive consistent, accurate sales models.
Develop and maintain a library of reusable families, components, blocks, and rendering assets/materials to accelerate future modeling work.
Establish file organization, naming conventions, and template files so models remain consistent across team members and over time.
Evaluate new tools, plugins, and rendering workflows that could improve the speed or visual quality of sales deliverables.
Qualifications: Required
Bachelor's or master's degree in Architecture or Architectural Engineering, or equivalent education through an accredited program, technical institute, or architectural apprenticeship.
3–6 years of professional experience in 3D modeling and visualization within an AEC, architectural visualization, or design-build environment.
Proficiency in Revit and at least two of the following: 3ds Max, SketchUp, Rhino, or similar.
Strong portfolio showing a range of architectural visualizations — exterior, interior, and contextual renderings.
Working knowledge of construction terminology, standard dimensions, and how buildings and structural assemblies go together.
Experience building and managing reusable content libraries (families, components, materials, templates).
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent requests and shifting priorities.
Preferred
Experience supporting a sales, business development, or pre-construction team in a fast-turnaround environment.
Background in custom architectural products, building envelopes, glazing systems, or specialty structures.
Experience developing and documenting modeling standards or BIM/CAD content libraries for an organization.
This position is based in [City, State], a vibrant location known for its rich architectural history and thriving design community.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
