Architectural Designer

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, Sketch Up, 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, Sketch Up, 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.
