Technical Designer - Senior

Locations

Charlotte, NC, US

As a Senior Technical Designer with Gensler's team in Charlotte you will collaborate with our Design Directors to develop design solutions as well as coordinate the design through the construction documentation phase, with a focus on project delivery, technical execution, BIM leadership and building envelope detailing. You will be successful because you already know how to translate an architect's sketches and documents into realized 2D/3D models and images and can research artistic and/or technical issues when they arise.

Your work ethic, combined with your commitment to collaboration and mentoring, makes Gensler the perfect place to nurture your career. You will bring together design excellence, technical rigor, and strategic thinking to deliver architecture that is both deeply functional and experientially rich. You will work within a highly collaborative, client-focused culture that values design quality, resilience, and social purpose.

• Participate in all project phases, including conceptual designs, presentations, schematic design, design development, construction documents and production
• Collaborate with design team, clients, consultants, contractors, fabricators, regulatory agencies and other vendors to meet overall project objectives
