Education: Bachelor's degree
Experience: 5+ years
o Vertex experience ( mandatory ) o Revit o Manufacturing industry knowledge o Construction knowledge o CAD design experience o ProE or AutoCAD
Responsibilities: ? BIM Modeling & Documentation o Develop detailed 3D structural models in Autodesk Revit and Vertex BD by interpreting a wide range of inputs (including preliminary architectural sketches, cost parameters, and project requirements), while actively collaborating with diverse stakeholders such as architects, manufacturers, installers, business and finance teams, and clients. o Translate Revit models into fabrication ready Vertex BD models, ensuring constructability and accuracy. o Produce coordinated structural drawings, shop drawings, and BIM deliverables. ?
Automated Framing Design o Utilize Vertex BD to automatically generate wall, floor, and roof framing layouts for CFS or timber systems. o Create detailed panelization and fabrication drawings optimized for industrialized construction workflows. ? Structural Analysis & Engineering o Perform structural calculations for gravity, lateral, and serviceability loads. o Use integrated tools such as Vertex Engineering to analyze CFS wall frames, trusses, and framing systems. o Support design optimization while maintaining safety, efficiency, and code compliance. ?
Interdisciplinary Coordination o Work collaboratively with architects, manufacturers, installers, business and finance teams, and customers to drive cross-disciplinary coordination and iterative development, ensuring delivery of the highest-quality and most cost-effective product. o Coordinate structural models with architectural and MEP BIM models to identify and resolve clashes. o Participate in BIM coordination meetings and collaborate closely with architects, MEP engineers, and project managers. ?
Manufacturing & Digital Fabrication Output o Generate CVS files directly from Vertex BD or Revit for automated roll forming and fabrication machinery. o Produce accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and fabrication data to support procurement and production teams. o Act as a technical liaison between engineering and manufacturing teams. o Assist with roll forming production as needed (Hands On). ?
Compliance & Quality Control o Ensure all designs comply with applicable building codes and standards. o Maintain internal BIM content standards, naming conventions, and quality control procedures. o Conduct model, CSVs and drawing reviews to ensure accuracy, completeness, and constructability.
