Job Description

3D Modeling Associate creating accurate, optimized 3D models for building systems and equipment. Collaborating with experienced modelers and engineers to develop technical skills in BIM and mechanical systems design.

Responsibilities:

  • Build accurate and visually consistent 3D models of mechanical, electrical, and building systems equipment (e.g., air handlers, chillers, pumps, VAVs)
  • Follow established asset templates to ensure consistency in layout, structure, and appearance
  • Apply proper geometry, materials, and naming conventions to support BIM and visualization integration
  • Contribute to the development and maintenance of a standardized 3D asset library
  • Organize files, folders, and metadata for efficient access and reuse
  • Participate in quality checks to ensure all assets meet visual and technical standards
  • Work with senior modelers and engineers to understand equipment layouts and design requirements
  • Revise models based on feedback from project teams
  • Support integration of models into larger building and system environments
  • Ensure all deliverables meet internal standards for scale, level of detail, and visual quality
  • Maintain clean, lightweight models optimized for BIM performance and rendering
  • Follow established workflows, templates, and modeling best practices

Requirements:

  • Certificate, Associate’s, or Bachelor’s degree in 3D Modeling, Drafting, Industrial Design, Mechanical Design, or related field
  • Equivalent practical experience may be considered
  • 0–2 years of experience in 3D modeling, CAD drafting, or related work
  • Internship or academic project experience acceptable
  • Exposure to mechanical or building systems is a plus
  • Familiarity with 3D modeling tools (e.g., Autodesk Revit, 3ds Max, Blender, SketchUp, or similar)
  • Basic understanding of materials, textures, and lighting for visualization
  • Knowledge of file organization, model hierarchy, and naming conventions
  • Willingness to learn BIM coordination principles and model optimization techniques
  • Experience with mechanical equipment or MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems preferred but not required.

Benefits:

  • Health insurance
  • Retirement plans
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development
