Job description

The Organization

To meet the needs of our future on Earth, the way we build the structures where we live, work, and play must change. We must build sustainably – buildings produce 39% of CO2 emissions. We must build durably – natural disasters have doubled since the 90s. We must build quickly – urbanization requires us to build the equivalent of Paris every week.

Nexii has developed an innovative whole building solution that enables the rapid assembly of high-quality buildings. The whole building solution is made possible by the proprietary material, Nexiite, and the NEXII design and assembly process, which together enable the assembly of sustainable, cost-efficient, and durable buildings. Our mission is to build a vibrant future for people and the planet. We have big dreams, so we place an emphasis on selecting, empowering, and collaborating with like-minded individuals who want to help bring our dreams into reality. Are you ready to join Team Nexii?

The Team

This position is part of the NEXII Sales, Support & Design Team.

We’re the team that connects our construction customers’ needs with our production facilities. Made up of engineers, project managers, Revit techs, and CAD designers, we take building design concepts and turn them into manufacturable panelized systems. Whether it’s refining designs, solving technical challenges, or coordinating with production, we make sure everything flows smoothly from idea to installation.

The Ideal Candidate:

We’re looking for the individual who leans in with curiosity, creativity, courage, and determination. People we can trust with our mission. With that in mind, here are a few qualities that set amazing candidates apart from the rest:

• You thrive in ambiguous situations and are capable of creating order and structure where none exist
• You’re self-directed and can execute responsibly without being told what to do
• You’re a visionary, and have an eye for the details, too. In other words, you’ve got your head in the clouds and feet in the mud
• You’re an impeccable communicator, able to create transparency so everyone knows how you’re working toward our big picture goals with the support of your teammates.

What you’ll do:

• Create highly detailed Inventor models, families, schedules and sheets, maintaining the highest QC standards
• Participate in generating production models and drawings for current and future client projects
• Conduct internal review of shop drawings and fabrication releases with the production facility to ensure constructability
• Modify and revise designs to correct deficiencies or incorporate instructions and comments onto drawings.
• Consistently check the work for accuracy
• Perform various tasks such as creating, analyzing, verifying, and managing drawings and building information model (BIM) content
• Update and consolidate the BIM model content and perform clash detection throughout the project life cycle.

What you’ll bring:

1. Experience in Inventor is a must.
   
2. Diploma and/or Degree in CAD and BIM Technology or related fields (Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural) from a recognized technological institute
   
3. 3-9 years of experience in drafting or modelling.
   
4. Strong 2D & 3D skills.
   
5. Create highly detailed Inventor models, families, schedules and sheets, maintaining the highest QC standards
   
6. Knowledge of parametric modelling and data analysis
   
7. Interest in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries
   

Bonus points for:

• Inventor Vault experience
  
• Experience in Dynamo
  
• Ability to multi-task, work on multiple projects and meet project deadlines
  
• Very detail oriented with high quality standards and work ownership
  
• Enthusiastic and positive team player
  
• Excellent Communicator
  
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced team environment and coordinate with multiple disciplines
  
• Translate the information received from site to shop drawings and fabrication drawings
