Designer II

About the Position

Developing Technical Execution and Coordination

• As a Designer II, your impact comes from growing independence, increasing coordination awareness, and your ability to maintain model health and documentation quality. You contribute in three key ways:
• You build independence by taking on modeling, documentation, and early coordination work with moderate supervision.
• You strengthen project delivery by preparing work that anticipates next steps for production and engineering teams.
• You improve coordination quality by working with cross-discipline teams to resolve straightforward modeling issues.
• You grow your BIM capability by developing proficiency in clash detection, model aggregation, and review workflows in Navisworks or ACC.
• You build your skills and support team learning through structured training journeys, mentorship, and hands-on project experience.
• You help improve team processes by sharing lessons learned, asking questions, and offering feedback that enhances documentation and standards.
• You support consistency and quality by updating standards, notes, and documentation—while beginning to help guide Designer I team members.
• You elevate team performance by contributing to discussions on project challenges, coordination risks, and opportunities to improve production workflows.
• You reinforce consistency and clarity across projects by applying [Employer]’s production and BIM standards—including naming conventions, linking practices, view templates, worksets, and model organization.
• You support coordinated delivery by maintaining accurate, well-organized models, markups, notes, and documentation with minimal rework.
• You enhance quality by identifying issues in models, drawings, or workflows early and raising them proactively to senior staff.
• You help evolve [Employer]’s system by offering thoughtful suggestions to improve production templates, views, families, and modeling workflows.

• You maintain a healthy model structure by managing links, worksets, view templates, and model organization in alignment with [Employer]’s BIM standards.
• You apply [Employer] standards consistently and help identify gaps or opportunities for improvement.
• You participate in meetings and prepare clear, organized notes that support team alignment.
• You collaborate with production and engineers to resolve coordination issues and strengthen deliverable quality.
• You maintain accurate documentation in GitHub and begin contributing basic Pull Requests with guidance.
• You meet utilization targets and complete daily time and expense entries accurately.
• You model [Employer]’s Core Values—Care, Trust, and Value—through communication, teamwork, and reliable execution.
